When the dust settled though, this was the only bracket where both the No. 1 and the No. 2 team survived.

There is only one team that is the higher ranked seed that is favored over the lower ranked seed in the Elite Eight.

The Ohio State Buckeyes Final Four road has been one full of twists and turns. Now, they are going to be facing off with the highest seed left in this tournament, and No. 9 Wichita State Shockers.
