The Ohio State men's volleyball team is looking to win its second-straight NCAA title next week, and the Buckeyes will have a chance to do it on their own court as the tournament's top seed.

The 2017 NCAA Tournament will be held at St. John Arena May 4-6 and after a dominating regular season which ended in their second-straight MIVA Championship, the Buckeyes earned the tournament's overall No. 1 seed.

As the top seed, the Buckeyes earned an opening-round bye and will play the winner of the May 2 match between No. 4-seed Hawai'i and No. 5-seed Penn State. With a win in that match, Ohio State would advance to the championship match on Saturday, May 6.

2017 NCAA Tournament Bracket

The Buckeyes are the defending NCAA champions and made history this season winning 42-consecutive matches — the longest winning-streak in the history of Ohio State athletics across all sports.

Ohio State enters the tournament with a 29-2 record, losing just to UC Irvine — which snapped the team's win streak — and Penn State during the regular season.

Tickets for the NCAA Tournament can be purchased here. Prices are $25 for adults, $15 for children and students and $8 per person for a group of 10 or more.
