Let The Madness Begin!

March Madness has begun!  Here is your guide to how the “Madness” is infecting us and you!

Remember the Dayton Flyers?  We are sure most Buckeyes fans do after last year’s tournament.  They will be a part of the “First Four” as they face Boise State Wednesday (3/18) at 9:10pm in UD Arena.  Yes, you got that right.  The Flyers will be playing a home game to advance in the NCAA Tournament.  If they defeat Boise State, they will take on Providence here in Columbus at Nationwide Arena Friday (3/20) at 9:57pm.  It should be a wild ride for the Flyers and their fans.

Columbus will be a part of the Madness as second round games will be played at Nationwide Arena. On Friday March 20th, 5th seeded West Virginia will take on the 12th seed and MAC Tourney Champion Buffalo at 2:10pm; 4th seeded Big Ten newbie Maryland faces 13th seeded Valparaiso at 4:40pm.  The evening session will have 3rd seed Oklahoma versus 14th seed Albany at 7:27pm and then the aforementioned Providence vs Dayton or Boise State game at 9:57pm.

The Buckeyes enter the NCAA Tournament as a 10th seed and will play in the West Region starting Thursday, March 19th. 7th seed VCU is their opponent.  The game will tip off at 4:40pm ET in Portland, Oregon.  VCU is known for it’s smothering defense and Shaka Smart is one of the game’s most underrated coaches.  The Rams won the Atlantic 10 tournament over Dayton. Senior G/F Treveon Graham was first team All-Atlantic 10 and averages 16.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. We are sure most of you reading this are familiar with the Buckeyes and their less-than-stellar season.  It should be a tough test for D’Angelo Russell & company.

Here is Thad Matta’s reaction to learning VCU will be Ohio State’s initial opponent in the tourney.
