The Buckeyes are not receiving much national love when it comes to the tournament.
Former NBA star and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley does not think much about Ohio State in the tournament.We all know the Ohio State Buckeyes are not getting any respect nationally when it comes to OSU winning it all.
None of the national basketball folks -- like Charles Barkley (stick to the NBA Chuck), Kenny Smith, Jay Bilas or Seth Davis -- have faith in the Buckeyes.
Columbus Dispatch columnist Rob Oller writes there are many reasons why the national media is not picking OSU to win it all. Some believe Ohio State is only a football school, while others have different reasons.

Which brings us back to Barkley, whose performance during the CBS selection show on Sunday was a mumbling mess of reading notes with head lowered. Basically, Sir Charles likes Kansas because, well, it's Kansas.
Again, to be fair, it's not just OSU that does not wow the media wags. More than any other season in memory, the majority opinion this year is that college lacks any super team. There is no North Carolina of 2008-09, which had three players taken in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft.
OSU women
The OSU women will enter the tournament as a No. 4 seed in the Dayton Regional. Jim Massie of The Columbus Dispatch writes how the Buckeyes (22-9) won the final nine games of the season, which included the Big Ten tournament championship.
The Buckeyes will play in a first-round game against Central Florida (22-10) at about 1:50 p.m. Saturday in St.John Arena.
