Sunday the Ohio State Buckeyes will learn if they will be playing more basketball at Value City Arena this season.
Ohio State has bounced between a projected No. 4 and No. 5 seed, landing as a No. 4 seed in multiple major bracket predictions following the Big Ten Tournament. The top 16 NCAA Tournament teams host first- and second-round games.

After going 4-4 in the final eight games of the regular season, it seemed likely that Ohio State (25-6) would be on the road for the first two rounds of the tournament.
"We’ve got to be way more consistent," Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said. "That’s going to be the key. If we just get some consistency down the stretch, I think we could do a lot of great things in March, but if not, it’s going to look a lot like this."
But the Big Ten Tournament helped improved the Buckeyes' standing, with Ohio State defeating Iowa in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, Ohio State fell 75-46 against UCLA, a projected No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio State is expected to land in the same region as South Carolina, according to the latest bracketology from both ESPN and NCAA analysts.
The Buckeyes' leading scorers Cotie McMahon and Jaloni Cambridge left with injuries in the third quarter of last Saturday's loss to UCLA, leaving their status for the rest of the postseason in question.
There has been no update on either injury since Ohio State ended its Big Ten Tournament run on March 8.
Cambridge twisted her ankle on a non-contact play. McGuff confirmed that Cambridge was walking on her own, with ice, following the matchup.
Four minutes later, McMahon was forced out of the game with discomfort in her right shooting arm. McMahon was later seen wearing a sleeve on that arm.
The Selection Show is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight on ESPN.
