Ohio State basketball jumps to No. 3 in AP Basketball Poll

The Ohio State men’s basketball team is exceeding expectations once again under Chris Holtmann, and it might just be setting the bar in 2019.

The latest AP Basketball Poll has been released and the Buckeyes are all the way up to No. 3, up from last week when they were No. 6. The only two teams now ahead of Ohio State are Louisville and Kansas — two blue bloods of the sport.

OSU has used a deep team with a balanced mix of veterans and young talent to blow almost everyone out this year. It has wins over Cincinnati, Villanova, and on the road against North Carolina already this year. The Buckeyes have put together one of — if not the best — resumes so far of any team in the country.

Ohio State is next in action against Minnesota on 12/15, and has a big one looming against Kentucky on 12/21.
