Bruce Thornton Record Night vs Indiana + Ohio State NCAA Tournament Outlook

by | Mar 7, 2026 | Buckeyes Daily Blitz, Ohio

On this episode of The Buckeyes Daily Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down a huge weekend for Ohio State basketball as the Buckeyes host Indiana on Senior Night in a game that could have major NCAA Tournament implications.

It’s also Bruce Thornton bobblehead night, and the Buckeyes star guard is just 12 points away from becoming Ohio State’s all-time leading scorer, passing Dennis Hopson in program history. Can Thornton make history while helping Ohio State lock up a March Madness bid?

Tito also looks at the latest ESPN Bracketology from Joe Lunardi, where Ohio State currently sits as a No. 10 seed, and explains why that seeding might actually give the Buckeyes a better path in the NCAA Tournament.

Tito also dives into an interesting College Football Playoff discussion, examining how much turnover we could see in the new 12-team CFP format and which programs are most likely to return next season.
