No. 15 Oral Roberts vs. No. 2 Ohio State in South Region action. Can a team have a trap game in the NCAA Tournament? I think this sets up as a bit of one for the Buckeyes off that incredible Big Ten title game loss to Illinois. It might be easy for OSU to overlook Summit League Tournament champion Oral Roberts. The Eagles have a guard who can get hot and upset anyone in Max Abmas, who leads the nation in scoring at 24.2 ppg. Also, the Buckeyes remain without important contributor Kyle Young (8.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg) in concussion protocols.

Oral Roberts played a tough nonconference schedule so the Golden Eagles won't be awed by Ohio State. Max Abmas leads Oral Roberts with 24.2 points and 3.7 assists per game and shoots 43.3 percent from deep; there aren't many better guards in the nation. The Buckeyes are not elite defensively. Oral Roberts, which ranks 20th nationally in scoring, can put up enough points to cover.
