Despite a very lackluster showing against Iowa on Saturday, the Ohio State basketball team dropped just one spot in the latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Buckeyes were No. 18 last week and slid just one spot to No. 19 when the poll was released on Monday.
OSU started out the week with an impressive win against Minnesota at home, but then got outrebounded and outplayed in a loss against an offensive-minded Hawkeye ballclub to make the thought of a regular-season Big Ten championship less likely.
The top ten ahead of the Buckeyes include Gonzaga (1), Arizona (2), Kentucky (3), Auburn (4), Kansas (5), Duke (6), Purdue (7), Villanova (8), Texas Tech (9), and Providence (10).
