Projection: likely out

Ohio State's current resume is weak and lacking key quality wins, which puts their NCAA tournament hopes in jeopardy. A notable victory against Kentucky helps showcase their potential, but losses to stronger teams like Maryland and Auburn indicate trouble when facing elite competition. Additionally, the inconsistency in their defensive performance, evident in games against Pittsburgh and Michigan, raises concerns. With crucial matchups remaining—particularly against teams like Nebraska and Indiana—Ohio State has a chance to bolster their standing, but they must capitalize on these opportunities to secure a tournament berth.
