Ohio State has four sophomore starters and one bad NCAA tournament memory. The Buckeyes were knocked out of last year’s tournament in the regional semifinals on a jumper by Kentucky’s Brandon Knight with 5 seconds to play. A No. 1 seed last year, the Buckeyes felt their season ended way too soon. A No. 2 seed this year, Ohio State starts a run at a 10th Final Four when it plays 15th-seeded Loyola (Md.) on Thursday night in the second round of the East Regional.
