Ohio State basketball climbs a bit in latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll
It’s time to check in on the college basketball polls once again, and we’re happy to report that the Ohio State basketball squad has moved up modestly in the latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
Last week, the Buckeyes fell a wee bit to No. 18, but after destroying IUPUI this past week, OSU has now moved up to No. 16. Unfortunately for Ohio State, the other game scheduled for Saturday against Nebraska was shelved because of an increase in COVID-19 cases within the Huskers’ program. So, the lone, pop-up game that was recently scheduled against IUPUI is all we got to see from the scarlet and gray between the rankings.
Ahead of OSU in the top ten this week is Gonzaga (1), Auburn (2), Arizona (3), Baylor (4), Kansas (5), Purdue (6), Duke (7), UCLA (8), Houston (9), and Michigan State (10).
