Currently Ranked #7 (24-7)

The Buckeyes finished their regular season by thumping Illinois, 73-57, while the Illini were looking to make a case for their NCAA Tournament chances.

Purdue and Michigan State both won their final games, however, leading to a three way tie on top of the Big Ten for the regular season title.

The Buckeyes draw the #1 seed in the Big Ten tourney, which starts Thursday.  With the top seed, Ohio State gets a first round bye and will play the winner of the Michigan/Iowa game.  The Buckeyes won both games against Iowa this year and split their games with Michigan, losing the first game while they were playing without Evan Turner.
