March Madness 2012, South Florida Vs. Ohio: Game Time, TV Schedule And More

The No. 13 seed Ohio Bobcats look to make an improbable run to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 when they face the No. 12 seed South Florida Bulls in a true bracket buster matchup in the Midwest Region.

The Bobcats earned their shot at the Sweet 16 with an impressive win in their opening game by holding off the No. 4 seed Michigan Wolverines for a 65-60 win. Junior guard D.J. Cooper came up big for the Bobcats with 21 points and five assists, as Ohio shot over 50% from the floor as a team.

South Florida put the clamps on Temple in their equally impressive 58-44 second-round win as they got a boost from some young players. Sophomore forward Victor Rudd made four three-pointers and scored 17 points while freshman guard Anthony Collins also added 17 points and five assists.

The winner will advance to meet the winner of No. 1 seed North Carolina vs. No. 8 seed Creighton in the regional Sweet 16 game at St. Louis.

The game today is in Nashville, TN and is scheduled to tip off at 7:10 p.m. Eastern on TBS.
