The Buckeyes knocked off Maine last week and wrap up non-conference play on Thursday against Alabama A&M.
The Ohio State men’s basketball team remains unranked in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll after winning its only game last week, a 95-61 win over American East Conference foe Maine on Wednesday.
The Buckeyes – who received 59 votes this week– were led by freshman forward Brice Sensabaugh, who scored a team-high 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting and added a career-high seven assists with a game-high seven rebounds.
Ohio State improved to 8-3 on the season with the victory over the Black Bears and will wrap up their non-conference schedule against Alabama A&M on Thursday. Tipoff at Value City Arena is set for 3 p.m. on BTN.
The Buckeyes will then travel to Northwestern on Sunday (7:30 p.m. on BTN) before hosting top-ranked Purdue on Thursday, Jan. 5. The Boilermakers are one of three Big Ten teams ranked this week, joining No. 15 Wisconsin and No. 16 Indiana.
