The second weekend of the NCAA Tournament is nearly upon us, and with four teams left in the dance, there's an Ohio presence throughout schedule for Thursday and Friday. Ohio State and Cincinnati will get things started on Thursday night, when the in-state foes square off in Boston in the late game which should tip around 10:00 pm EST. On Friday, Buckeye state fans won't have to stay up quite as late as both Ohio and Xavier will be playing in the early games from St. Louis and Atlanta.
