The Buckeyes won two of three games this week, but dropped Sunday’s road trip to Maryland.
Although Ohio State has won two of its last three games, the Buckeyes fell one spot to No. 23 latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll, which was released on Monday afternoon.
Ohio State knocked off Indiana, 80-69, in overtime on Monday before holding on late for an 86-83 win at Illinois on Thursday. The Buckeyes then wrapped up their two-game road trip with a 75-60 loss to Maryland on Sunday.
Now heading into the last week of the regular season, Ohio State sits at 18-8 overall and 11-6 in Big Ten play – 2.5 games behind Wisconsin for first place with three games to go.
The Buckeyes finish with home games against Nebraska on Tuesday (7 p.m. on BTN), Michigan State on Thursday (7 p.m. on ESPN/ESPN2) and Michigan on Sunday (12:30 p.m. on FOX).
