When Big Ten play resumed the Ohio State basketball was on a roll with a 12-1 record and 2-0 in the conference. The Buckeyes also had nice non conference wins over Cincinnati, Creighton and UCLA on their resume.
Ohio State looked like a cinch to make the NCAA Tournament and possibly be a contender for the Big Ten title. After losing four consecutive games it now will be an uphill battle for the Buckeyes to make ‘The Dance’.
The losing streak in itself is a concern but the recent 75-61 loss to the Maryland Terrapins especially so.
