Summary

The NCAA Tournament begins today and Ohio State is in the Big Dance for the first time in four years. In fact, the Buckeyes have the first game of the tournament today at 12:15 p.m. ET against TCU. How far can this OSU team go? And what should the expectations be moving forward? Also, we hope Ryan Day stays at Ohio State for a very long time. When he does decide to leave, is James Laurinaitis next in line to be the Buckeyes' head coach?

Scotty Vegas from 97.1 The Fan in Columbus joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that and more on the Thursday 5ish.
