Despite coming up short in the Men’s Hockey Big Ten Tournament, the Ohio State men’s hockey team isn’t done.
The men’s NCAA Frozen Four was announced on Sunday just after the OSU women fell to Wisconsin in the women’s national title game, and the Buckeyes — as expected — made the field.
Ohio State didn’t get a high seed but will be playing Harvard in the first round in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for the 16-team tournament. Faceoff is set for 2 p.m. on Friday with the Buckeyes playing the winner of No. 2 seed Quinnipiac and Merrimack.
The top four seeds for the tournament are Minnesota (1), Quinnipiac (2), Michigan (3), and Denver (4). Four Big Ten teams made the field with Penn State joining the Buckeyes, Wolverines, and Golden Gophers.
It all ends in Tampa 🏒🏆
