In a season that has been characterized by ups (11-1 start and No. 2 ranking, 8-2 record last 10 games) and downs (1-6 stretch between the hot start and the last 10 games), Chris Holtmann’s team is playing with determination and focus as the calendar has turned to March and the Buckeyes are playing their best basketball.
After losing to Minnesota 62-59 on Jan. 23, Ohio State fell to 12-7 (2-6 Big Ten). The Buckeyes quickly dropped from a No. 2 ranking to being unranked, and on the bubble for making the NCAA Tournament.
During the last 10 games though, Ohio State has been led by seven different scorers and has held opponents to 70 points or less in eight of those games.
