Ohio State and Alabama competing for a national championship is hardly an unusual occurrence for either school. 4 Ohio State and No. Ohio State has had a strong basketball program well before this season, making the NCAA Tournament every year from 2009-2015. Ohio State made Final Four appearances in 2007 and 2012, a step Alabama has yet to take. Both teams have had strong seasons even after losing stars to the NBA, Ohio State All-American Kaleb Wesson and Alabama point guard Kira Lewis Jr.
