On Sunday, in front of an uncharacteristically enthusiastic capacity crowd at the Value City Arena, the Ohio State Buckeyes (13-4, 4-0) completed an impressive upset the No. 1 Michigan State Spartans (15-2, 3-1), 80-64 in their only matchup of the season.
The OSU win broke Sparty’s 14-game winning streak, and marked the 10th loss by a ranked team this weekend. It was also the third time on the weekend that a top-five team lost to an unranked team. However, if I had to venture a guess, Ohio State won’t be unranked for long.
The energy in The Schottenstein Center was palpable from the tip, and something that Columbus hasn’t seen in many a year.
