COLUMBUS, Ohio – The NCAA selected the No. 12/13 Ohio State women’s basketball team (25-7, 12-6 B1G) as a #3 seed for the upcoming NCAA Tournament as the full bracket of teams was announced on Sunday night. This is the second time that 68 teams will take part in the women’s basketball tournament.
The Buckeyes will face #14 seed James Madison in the first round on Saturday with the time and TV network to be determined.
- This is the Buckeyes’ 13th time hosting at least one game of the NCAA Tournament and first time since 2018. This is the 14th time Ohio State has been selected as a top-four seed.
- This is Ohio State’s 27th NCAA Tournament appearance as the Buckeyes hold a 28-26 record in the NCAA Tournament. This record reflects wins from select seasons later vacated by the NCAA.
- Last season, the Buckeyes made their 12th appearance in the Sweet 16. Sixth-seeded Ohio State beat 11th-seeded Missouri State by a 63-56 in the first round before defeating third-seeded LSU in Baton Rouge by a 79-64 margin in the second round. The Buckeyes were edged by second-seeded Texas in the Sweet 16 by a 66-63 mark.
- Last week in the Big Ten Tournament, Ohio State made it to the championship game but fell to second-seeded Iowa. The Buckeyes beat fifth-seeded Michigan by an 81-79 margin in the quarterfinals before completing the largest comeback in Big Ten Tournament history to defeat top-seeded Indiana by a 79-75 margin in the semifinals.
