Perhaps the pundits were right when they picked Ohio State to finish near the bottom of the Big Ten in basketball last season—at least it certainly looks that way as the Buckeyes are on a three-game skid with losses to No. 6 Michigan State, Rutgers and Iowa. Thus far this season, Ohio State is Rutgers’ only conference win. But this slide doesn’t tell the whole story for what has still been a surprisingly good team this year. Up until their loss to Michigan State last Saturday, the only blemish on the Buckeyes’ record was a 10-point defeat to Syracuse in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
