If all goes well for the scarlet and gray on Thursday, Ohio State will walk off its home court with an upset win over the top-ranked team in college basketball. Sound familiar?
It should, because the Buckeyes have made something of a habit out of doing so in the Chris Holtmann era. This wouldn’t be the first or second time Ohio State beat the national No. 1 since Holtmann took over for Thad Matta in 2017. In fact, it would improve the Buckeyes’ record to 3-0 against opponents carrying the top spot in the AP poll over the past five seasons.
