UPDATE: I have been informed that Ohio State would not play in Columbus at Nationwide Arena, because they are the host school. I had been under the impression that the Buckeyes could play at Nationwide, since they only played one game there this season. I have also been told that Nationwide Arena is hosting, East Region #4 vs. #13, #5 vs. #12, and the matchup of those winners. They also host East Region #3 vs. #14, #6 vs. #11 and the matchup of those winners. So even if OSU was allowed to play in Columbus, they will not likely be a #3 or #4 seed.

Ok, it may be a bit early to talk about NCAA tournament seeds and game locations, but I thought this information was worth posting.
I was very excited last year when I heard that Nationwide Arena, in downtown Columbus, would host NCAA men's tournament games in the First and Second Rounds. I finally have located a bracket listing tournament sites and it appears that OSU, who will likely be a #1 or possibly #2 seed will not have a chance to play in Columbus. Nationwide Arena will host West regional #6 vs. #11 and #3 vs. #14, as well as the matchup of those two winners. In the East regional they will host #6 vs. #11 and #3 vs. #14, and the matchup of those two winners. If you want a close location to Columbus, the best case scenario for Ohio State would be #1 seed, playing first and second round in Chicago with the regional games in St. Louis.
