Summary

Ohio State basketball is a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament against No. 10 Loyola in Pittsburgh on Friday, and Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises are here to discuss it on the Monday Buckeye Talk. Is E.J. Liddell a little frustrated with his team after the Buckeyes have lost four of five? How healthy will Ohio State be for the game? Loyola can shoot 3-pointers and play pretty good defense. Can Ohio State handle that? How many points do Liddell and Malaki Branham need to combine to score for Ohio State to win? Ohio State has been an NCAA Tournament quality team in all five of Chris Holtmann's seasons. Just seven other teams in the country can say that. But does it matter if the Buckeyes don't do anything in the tournament? Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

0:32.8	the incident of the tournament, a seven seed in Pittsburgh against number 10 Loyola Chicago on
0:37.4	Friday. As we start to record this at 8.52 Sunday evening, Stephen, no TV times out yet, right? We
0:43.6	don't know. No, no, no, that is not correct. They literally came out. Yeah, as we started recording

1:26.7	seasons in context, because they would have made the tournament in 2020. There was a bracket put
1:31.8	out by 10 bracket anthology experts, Joe Lunardi and Jerry Paul, but a bunch of the other top
1:36.9	guys, somebody got their brackets from them and mushed them together and made a bracket that I
1:42.5	think is as official as anything. I wish the NCAA would have put the bracket out in 2020. I
