Buckeyes lose 4th straight (do they stay in the top 25 Monday?)

Surprising how fast they have come apart.

Not defending the Bucknuts, but only one of their conf losses was at home.   This year I think you have to pretty much assume that every road game will be a loss except for maybe NW.   MSU has played 4 of 5 conf games at home and the road win was at NW.   So, I think you have to wait until the schedules even out a little before you can judge who is good or bad in the B1G

I think they will still be ranked. Itll be around 23-25. The bigten is a bloodbath, especially on the road, and everyone in the country knows it. Analysts have said theres a legit 12 teams in consideration for the tournament.

It feels like they should drop out, but I'm guessing there are other teams in the Top25 who have done less. OSU did beat Cinci, Nova, UNC, & UK.

Need to try to win tomorrow as next Friday against Iowa is going to be difficult to win. They just smoked Maryland at home last night and that was on defense!

Good. Hope they lose every single game for the rest of the season.

I hope Juwan gets the chance to run up the score on these guys and run them the fuck out of Crisler Arena.

It's still early and college basketball is weird, but this happened last year with Holtmann's team as well.  They righted the ship a bit as the conference slate moved along, but it's clear that Kaleb Wesson isn't quite the unstoppable player he looked like to start the year (he's only cracked 100 ORtg once since the conference slate picked back up), and the team couldn't maintain their scorching-hot shooting.

OSU is a fine team, but they have flaws and the conference is too good to let them get away with it.

The fact that Ken Pomeroy still thinks these guys are the 6th best team in the country tells you a lot about the quality of his rankings early season.
