The Ohio State basketball team is on the move and standing out as one of the best teams in the country. The improvement has been rapid and decisive since the beginning of the season until now. With the numerous statement victories in the past month or so, Buckeyes are also starting to rise in top polls, metrics rankings and even in the polls out there.
That’s where Jay Bilas from ESPN comes in. Bilas is one of the best in the business and provides great insight, analysis and opinion unmatched in the university game. We respect what he has to say, even though he played for Duke (Carolina’s close friend here).
Bilas recently ranked the 68 best teams (subscription required) in college basketball, the same number that will make the NCAA tournament here in just a few weeks, and the state of Ohio is at the top of his list.
This is where he has the Buckeyes and what he says about them.
