Analyzing Ohio State’s Chances of Advancing in the NCAA Tournament and Whether Chris Holtmann Needs At Least One Win

It’s NCAA Tournament week, which means basketball takes center stage on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays.

Ohio State will play its first game of the NCAA Tournament at 12:15 p.m. Friday in Pittsburgh, where the seventh-seeded Buckeyes will face No. 10 seed Loyola in a matchup that has many calling for a first-round upset. Will the Buckeyes’ late-season skid continue with a first-round NCAA Tournament loss for the second straight year, or will they make the most of their talent advantage against the Ramblers? We discuss where Ohio State should have the edge over Loyola and what makes Loyola a dangerous first-round opponent.
