Ohio State is a deep bubble team and is not expected to make the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

While the Buckeyes do have an impressive win over Alabama, its poor performance in conference play has likely eliminated them from at-large contention.

Here are some of the basic ratings for Ohio State, as of March 17.

Ohio State March Madness: Last Season

Ohio State missed the NCAA Tournament after making the cut for four straight seasons. After winning at Northwestern on Jan. 1, the Buckeyes lost 14 of their next 15 games. 

They proceeded to make the Big Ten Tournament semifinals in March, flirting with an NCAA Tournament automatic bid.
