The Buckeyes beat the Badgers into a bloody, unrecognizable mess last night. In fact, posters are popping up all over Madison with pictures of what the team used to look like with the caption, "Have you seen this team?"...

After Ohio State was done setting records and whatnot, the Big Ten released the 2011 tournament bracket.

The Buckeyes are the No. 1 seed and appear to have the easiest road to the Big Ten title game among the “favorites” (Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin). Ohio State is in the top half of the bracket and will face either Northwestern or Minnesota in the first game, and in the event that they win, they’ll have to beat either Michigan or Illinois to make it to the conference championship game.

On the other side of the bracket -- second seeded Purdue, third seeded Wisconsin and a still-alive-because-they’re-never-dead (OMG-ZOMBIES!!!) Michigan State team will battle each other in their road to the championship game.

The tournament tips-off this Thursday, March 10 in Indianapolis, Indiana (Conseco Fieldhouse).
