Three takeaways from Ohio State basketball’s win over Michigan State

Ohio State traveled to Iowa City and found a way to beat another top opponent on the road. Here are three takeaways from the win.

How far can this team go?

It’s the question everyone is wondering now. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if say Illinois, Iowa, or Wisconsin found a way to make it to the Final Four, and Ohio State beat all three of them on the road. The team is putting together one heck of a résumé with still plenty of season to go. The improvement from game two until now has been nothing short of extraordinary.

So how good is this team, and how far can it go? I think the Buckeyes are proving they can play with anyone and could make a deep, deep run if they continue to improve and play at a high level. Dare we even utter the two double-F words with this club? At this point, with as many options to score the basketball, the depth, and the coaching, maybe so.

Now, there’s plenty left in the season and we could see things turn around in a heartbeat in the Big ten, but man, this Ohio State team is starting to look Final Four potential good. There, I said it.
