Ohio State Basketball: Buckeyes heating up as tournament play nears
The Ohio State basketball team recovered from a poor mid-season stretch and has won eight of ten games as the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments near.
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.
