The South Region No. 10 seed Loyola men’s basketball team (24-7, 13-5) is lacing up its dancing shoes for the second year in a row after winning the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championship March 6. The team held a Selection Sunday watch party in Gentile Arena March 13, where its first round opponent of the NCAA tournament was announced — No. 7 seed The Ohio State University.

Loyola and Ohio State have played each other four times over the course of 67 years, with their last matchup during the 2006-2007 season.
