NCAA Basketball: Missouri, Ole Miss, and Texas Tech among biggest winners
By Matt Melton
Ohio State Buckeyes
Is it time to start considering Ohio State as a 1 seed? The Buckeyes have won four in a row, which includes two victories this week over Michigan State and a massive road win at #8 Iowa.
Ohio State started the week on Sunday with a 79-62 victory over Michigan State. While the Spartans aren’t this year what they have been in recent years, they are still a quality opponent.
However, Ohio State is on this list because of their massive 89-85 road win on Thursday night against #8 Iowa. The Buckeyes had four players in double-figures, and also held Iowa’s Luka Garza, one of the best scorers in college basketball, to 16 points. This was the Buckeyes’ fifth victory over a Top 15 team this season.
The Buckeyes are currently ranked as either a one or two seed in most NCAA Tournament seeding projections and will have more opportunities to improve their chances at a one seed as they will travel to Maryland and host Indiana this week.
