Iowa Basketball Hawkeyes Remain Near Bottom In Our Big Ten Rankings
By Kenny Levine
2. Ohio State (17-4, 8-0)
Last Week: 2
Ohio State just keeps on winning. The Buckeyes survived a gritty effort from Northwestern on Wednesday night to win its 7th conference game. They followed that with a terrific performance in a 67-49 win over Minnesota at Madison Square Garden. Ohio State is not just winning, but they are winning big. Ohio State has won by double digits in six of its eight Big Ten win and the six point win over Northwestern was the Buckeyes’ closest margin of victory during Big Ten play this season.
This week the Buckeyes will have two home games. In fact, the Buckeyes will play four straight home games. It starts with a Monday night showdown against Nebraska followed by a Thursday night contest with Penn State. Given its plethora of home games, it would not be surprising to see Ohio State continute its undefeated stretch for a while longer.
