Just like two weeks ago, No. 13 Ohio State’s only game of the week was cancelled last week due to team personnel catching and recovering from COVID-19. Two weeks ago it was their game against No. 18 Kentucky that was cancelled. Last week, it was their game against UT-Martin. But just like last week, the Buckeyes still jumped in the AP Poll this week after another seven days of no basketball.
No. 13 Ohio State (8-2, 2-0) last played on Dec. 11 when they beat No. 24 Wisconsin 73-55 at the Schottenstein Center. The team practiced most of the following week until one player became ill towards the end of the week.
