10 TV: Ohio State's men's basketball team learned Sunday that it will take on No. 9 seed Siena in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Dayton on Friday. The Buckeyes (22-10) were named the No. 8 seed in the Midwest region. The game time is approximately 9:40 p.m.
Less than one hour before the pairings were announced, the Buckeyes were defeated by Purdue, 65-61, in the Big Ten Tournament's championship game. Siena (26-7) is considered a sleeper team by many college basketball experts. The Saints won the MAAC conference last week by defeating Niagara. Four of their losses came against Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh and Kansas.
If the Buckeyes win on Friday, they would likely collide with tournament No. 1 seed Louisville. The Cardinals will take on the winner of Tuesday's play-in game between Alabama State and Morehead State. No No. 1 seed has ever lost to a No. 16 seed in the tournament's history.
