No. 4 – Ohio State Buckeyes
What Borzello says about Ohio State
“Ohio State is operating at an extremely high level on the offensive end lately. The Buckeyes have scored at least one point per possession in each of their past 10 outings, making double-digit 3-pointers in six of those and shooting 50% or better from 2-point range in nine. Most of that has coincided with Justin Ahrens’ insertion into the starting lineup; he has made at least three 3s in seven of his past nine games as a starter. CJ Walker also is starting to round into form after missing four games due to injury; he has come off the bench in each of his past six games, but he has scored in double figures in three of his past four and is averaging 4.0 assists in his past six.”
The top ten according to Borzello include Gonzaga (1), Baylor (2), Michigan (3), Ohio State (4), Illinois (5), Alabama (6), Houston (7), Virginia (8), Oklahoma (9), and Villanova (10).
