Ohio State ends season outside of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll, does get votes

Ohio State basketball missed out on being ranked in the last Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll.

The Ohio State basketball team finished the season outside of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll Powered by USA TODAY Sports. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that OSU finished with another 20 win season, reached the NCAA Tournament again under Chris Holtmann, and won a first-round game to get to the Round of 32. However, none of that was enough to vault the Buckeyes back into the top 25. And none of it will make a fanbase looking for more happy.

Rounding out the top ten in the last poll of the season was No. 1 Kansas (of course), followed by North Carolina (2), Duke (3), Villanova (4), Gonzaga (5), Arizona (6), Houston (7), Arkansas (8), Baylor (9), and Purdue (10).

Here’s a look at the entire, final Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll

Alabama takes steep drop in latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll

Tide Hoops takes a massive tumble out of the top-25 teams.

Alabama basketball’s 2021-2022 regular season has come to a close, and it did so on a bit of a sour note with a road loss to Will Wade LSU to finish 19-12 on the season.

The Crimson Tide will enter the SEC Men’s Conference Tournament as a No. 6 seed and will face the winner of Georgia and Vanderbilt.

There are numerous inconsistencies with this Alabama team that must be address before the conference tournament, but certainly before the NCAA Tournament.
