Ohio will take the court against Belmont in its ESPN BracketBuster matchup on Feb. 23 at 10 p.m. The game will be televised live on ESPN2.
Belmont (19-4, 10-0 Ohio Valley Conference) will host the game, which is the last in BracketBuster history, being that it occupies the final time slot of the second day of BracketBuster play and the pool will not return in 2014.
The Bruins are led by senior guards Ian Clark and Kerron Johnson, who combine for 32.6 points per game.
Clark leads the NCAA with a .514 three-point shooting percentage.
The Bruins are the best-rated BracketBuster team in terms of RPI, being that they are ranked No. 18 overall. Ohio is ranked No. 90 among 347 Division I teams.
Ohio and Belmont have never met in regular or postseason play.
Ohio (15-6, 6-1 Mid-American Conference) has won in six of its nine all-time BracketBuster appearances, and has been victorious in each of its last three.
Last year's BracketBuster matchup was particularly fruitful for Ohio, as the Bobcats routed the University of North Carolina at Asheville by 19 points at The Convo.
