Ohio State's actual basketball season starts on Sunday, and it opens with the lowest expectations in recent memory. The Buckeyes didn't get a single preseason vote in the AP Top 25, they're picked to finish in the middle of the Big Ten back by most analysts; their ability to keep their NCAA streak alive is in jeopardy. Ohio State's performance during their scrimmage on Saturday, where they beat D2 Walsh by only 10 points in a game that wasn't really over until the final few minutes, may not inspire a lot of confidence that the Buckeyes will exceed that relatively modest bar.
