Ohio State's NCAA Tournament chances just took it on the chin. The Buckeyes were already precariously on the bubble and it might have just popped in a 77-70 loss to Iowa in a Big Ten Tournament first-round game that continued a poor showing down the stretch of the season.

Eight other schools from the Big Ten made the NCAA Tournament: Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, Maryland, UCLA, Illinois and Oregon. Indiana, which beat Ohio State 66-60 in the final game of both teams' regular seasons, joined the Buckeyes in being left out despite multiple projections that had the Hoosiers in.
