Projection: likely out

Ohio State's resume has significant holes that could prevent tournament inclusion. Notably, losses to highly ranked teams like Auburn and Maryland were particularly lopsided, raising concerns about their competitive strength. They managed a few key wins, such as against Kentucky and Purdue, but a lack of consistency against strong opponents, illustrated by narrow losses to Indiana and Michigan, highlights a vulnerability that could undermine their chances. Upcoming games against teams like UCLA and Indiana represent critical opportunities for improvement; however, if they can't capitalize, their hopes for a tournament bid may slip away.
