Ohio State has won its last nine games in a row to improve to 19-3 on the season and 10-1 in Big Ten play. It’s earned two top-10 wins in that winning streak, most recently on Sunday, when it earned a 74-69 win over then-No. 10 Indiana at the Schottenstein Center.
Iowa, who Ohio State beat on Jan. 21, remains the highest-ranked team in the Big Ten at No. 2. Indiana dropped four spots to 14th following its loss to Ohio State.
The Buckeyes, who are currently tied with the Hawkeyes atop the conference standings, will look to extend their winning streak into double digits this week when they hit the road for a pair of games against Minnesota (Thursday, 9 p.m., Peacock) and Michigan State (Sunday, 4 p.m., Peacock).
