Ohio State Now a Fringe NCAA Tournament Team After Rough Week

It hasn't exactly been a fruitful week for Ohio State basketball.

The Buckeyes first had a shot at a resume-building home win against No. 15 Wisconsin. Despite leading 56-52 entering the final six minutes of play, Ohio State fell 71-60 after being outscored 19-4 down the stretch against the Badgers.

Following that loss, the Buckeyes' second straight, they got what seemed to be a chance to get back on track and break an 11-game road losing streak at Michigan on Monday. They did not.

After taking a four-point lead off a 16-0 run to come back from down 12 points, Ohio State fell victim to another late-game surge as Michigan closed on a 13-4 jaunt to win 73-65.
