The Buckeyes are cooked in the race for the Big Ten regular-season title
You can likely kiss chances at a Big Ten regular-season title gone for Ohio State. A win would have been huge towards that goal, but even with that, the Wolverines would have had to lose one more with the Buckeyes needing to win out amidst the likes of Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan State.
Michigan is now in the driver’s seat with the Illini right behind. The Buckeyes will have to now take solace in the fact that they are an improving bunch and have plenty more still to play for. There have been plenty of teams in the history of college basketball do some pretty special things in March after failing to win a regular-season conference tournament. That’s where the sights have to be set now.
