The Ohio State softball team couldn’t quite complete the journey to cap off a Big Ten tournament title, but it did receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
And who will the Buckeyes be playing? OSU will be the No. 2 seed in the Knoxville regional with No. 1 seed Tennessee, Oregon State, and Campbell in the four-team pod. Of places to go, you have to believe the Buckeyes stand a better chance of advancing through Knoxville than many other locations it could have been sent to.
But the Knoxville regional is obviously not the only site hosting games for the NCAA tournament. All told, there are 16 schools hosting the first round as regionals, and they all slot into a bracket that will then move on to super-regionals and ultimately, the college softball world series.
In case you are interested in how things line up, we’ve got the complete bracket for you thanks to the NCAA Softball Twitter account below.
The 2022 bracket! 🥎

By the way, we’ve seen this OSU team play in person, and of any year where the Buckeyes could advance to a super-regional, we feel good about this one. Ohio State will get things started against Oregon State on Friday at 4 pm ET.
