COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Here lately, each week produces a new No.1 team.It appears the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will step up to reclaim their spot at the top of college basketball after easily dispatching Indiana, 82-61, here at Value City Arena on Sunday afternoon. With last week's No.1 Duke losing at Virginia Tech on Saturday, the Buckeyes should reclaim the top spot they held for several weeks when the latest polls are released Monday.
"It's something that comes along with this," said OSU coach Thad Matta, whose team improved to 27-2, 14-2 Big ten for the second-best win total in school history. "One of the things I have always said is no matter where we are ranked, we really want to be there in the end."
Perhaps as the debate about who are the most deserving of the potential No.1 seeds are to be the overall seed in next months tournament, the Buckeyes may have taken the lead with Sunday's impressive performance. Star freshman Jared Sullinger had one of his most underwhelming games of the season (five points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes), but that didn't stop Ohio State. The Buckeyes simply got production in other places, particularly fellow freshman Deshaun Thomas off the bench.
