Just like in the College Football BCS Championship Bowl Game in January, the Ohio State Buckeyes will face the Florida Gators for the NCAA Tournament Championship tonight. A win for OSU means some measure of revenge after the Gators crushed the Buckeyes in the BCS Championship. A win for Ohio State would also further justify the talent and skill of their fantastic freshman class. However a loss to Florida would mean the Gators would be the Champions in both football and basketball, both times beating the Buckeyes. Below are two previews for tonight’s game.

It has not been the start that Ohio State fans could have hoped for. The #1 seeded Ohio State Buckeyes trail the #5 Tennessee Volunteers at the half by a score of 49-32. Tennessee led by as many as 19 in the first half as the Vols connected on 9 of 15 3-point shots. OSU’s freshman center Greg Oden has been a non-factor with just 2 points and 3 fouls picked up his 3rd foul with 5:15 to play in the first half.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, the #1 ranked team in the nation, defeated the Wisconsin Badgers today for the Big Ten Basketball Tournament Championship.
