The Ohio State men's lacrosse team is the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten Men's Lacrosse Tournament, facing No. 5 seed Michigan on Saturday. A win will advance them to the semifinals against No. 1 seed Johns Hopkins.
The Ohio State men's lacrosse team may have only been awarded the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Men's Lacrosse Tournament, but that's because four teams tied for the Big Ten regular-season crown, with the Buckeyes joining the fray with a last-second win over Michigan last weekend.
There are only six teams in the Big Ten, so with four of them matching wits to grab a share of the crown, you have to believe the conference tournament will be the tiebreaker. If you are interested in watching the Buckeyes make a run, they'll get things started on Saturday when they have a rematch with No. 5 seed Michigan at Noon ET out on the campus of Rutgers.
If Ohio State wins that matchup, it'll head to the semifinals against No. 1 seed Johns Hopkins for a matchup to make it to the conference championship game. Here's how the entire Big Ten Men's Lacrosse Tournament bracket looks heading into play this weekend.
We'll be following Ohio State's path in the tournament, as well as all of the other OSU spring teams vying for postseason glory, so be sure to check back and follow what's happening here on Buckeyes Wire.
