Basketball podcast: Are the Buckeyes bound for Boise in NCAA Tournament, unless they beat Purdue?

Buckeye Talk: Ohio State podcast by cleveland.com

Ohio State basketball is No. 14 in the latest AP poll, but the Buckeyes might have trouble sticking close to home to start the NCAA Tournament. That is, unless they beat No. 3 Purdue on Wednesday.

In this basketball edition of Buckeye Talk, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises break down the chances of a major OSU upset in West Lafayette; examine whether the suspension of Kam Williams increases the chances that Keita Bates-Diop, Jae'Sean Tate and C. J. Jackson wear down by the end of the season; and talk about Landis' recent trip to Nashville.

Why Nashville? Because Detroit, Pittsburgh and Nashville are the three closest first-week NCAA sites to Ohio. But despite being on track for a top four seed in the tourney, the Buckeyes may be looking at a trip West. Doug and Bill explain why.

Plus, for football fans, there's some bonus recruiting updates at the end as Ohio State gets ready for Wednesday's National Signing Day.
