So you're nowhere near the great state of Ohio but you want to watch the Buckeyes in the NCAA Tournament with fellow fans and alums?
Have no fear.
The OGS Travel and Research teams have joined forces to bring you this list of where to eat, drink and watch the tournament's top overall seed when it begins postseason play on Friday at 4:40 p.m. ET.
Each city below has the name and address of the bar or restaurant (each is linkable), and a phone number. We hope this is helpful.
