3. Ohio State (20-5, 11-1)
Last Week: 3

Following an upset loss at home against Penn State, Ohio State returned to its winning ways last week.  OSU started fast and were consistently up double digits in a 71-56 win over Indiana Tuesday night.  Then, on Super Bowl Sunday, Ohio State let Illinois hang around but eventually Kaleb Wesson made big baskets late and Ohio State hung on for a 75-67 win.

Ohio State will have a big test this week.  After four consecutive home games, the Buckeyes will take a trip to Mackey Arena for a marquee matchup with Purdue Wednesday night.  OSU follows that with another home game against Iowa.  Starting guard Kam Williams has been suspended indefintely for Ohio State, which is a potentially big loss for the Buckeyes.  That matchup against Purdue will go along way to deciding the Big Ten regular season championship.
