No. 7 seed Ohio State looks to upset No. 2 Villanova and earn a Sweet 16 berth this afternoon.
The Big East Tournament champions have won 11 of their past 12 games, including four victories over ranked opposition, and carries the momentum of a 20-point win over No. 15 seed Delaware into Sunday’s 2:40 p.m. tip-off against Ohio State.
Holtmann takes on longtime mentor Jay Wright, a former Big East competitor from his days at Butler, as the Buckeyes and Wildcats duke it out for a chance to advance to San Antonio.Besides possessing a top-10 offense in the country by KenPom’s adjusted efficiency metric, Villanova is also the most prolific 3-point shooting team remaining in the NCAA Tournament, hitting 9.4 per game to place the Wildcats at 22nd-best in the country.
Ohio State lost in the first round a season ago, but a surprise trip to the third round of the tournament this season could silence Holtmann’s critics that were emboldened by his late-season stumbles to end February and begin March.
