The Buckeyes looked vulnerable in the first round to a 15 seeded UC-Santa Barbara because Evan Turner had a rare off game. Jon Diebler nailed more three pointers (7) than the Gauchos (6), though so the Buckeyes lived to fight another day.
They wrapped up week 1 with a narrow win over Georgia Tech. This game was another cause for concern, though. OSU got by them in a close one despite 20+ turnovers by Tech, who also had their top guys in foul trouble all game long.
Nonetheless, the Buckeyes advance to the Sweet 16, where they take on #6 Tennessee. Add in the fact that #1 Kansas got upset bu Northern Iowa and #3 Georgetown got upset in the first round by Ohio and the coast looks clear for the Buckeyes if they can get their shit together.
