Scarlet and Gray Wins First-Round Matchup in The Basketball Tournament

The No. 2-seeded Scarlet and Gray roster is littered with Ohio State alumni and has an abundance of talent, and that was on display in the team's 78-63 win over No. 15 seed The Region in the first round of The Basketball Tournament's Midwest Regional on Saturday.

The squad will take on the No. 7 Banner Boys (UW-Milwaukee Alumni) on Sunday at 1:45 p.m. at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois.
