Ohio State men’s basketball vs Loyola-Chicago: Game preview and prediction

Well, folks, here we are. It is officially March, and that means it is time for the NCAA tournament.

For the fourth-straight season and every season under current head coach Chris Holtmann (not including the 2020 season when the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19), the Ohio State Buckeyes (19-11) are dancing. For the third time in those four appearances, the Buckeyes have earned a single-digit seed. The No. 7 seeded Buckeyes will see the No. 10 seed Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (25-7) and the legend of Sister Jean in Pittsburgh in the first game on Friday for their first-round matchup.
