The Ohio State basketball team keeps winning, and as a result, keeps moving up the national polls. The Associated Press College Basketball Poll was released Monday and the Buckeyes have moved up from No. 23 to No. 19 after wins at Nebraska and at home against a ranked Michigan squad.
The Big Ten continues to have five teams ranked in the poll. Maryland is the highest-rated team at No. 9, followed by Michigan State (16), Iowa (18), and Michigan just inside the poll at No. 25.
After a January to forget, Ohio State has now won eight of its last 10 to move from 2-6 in the Big Ten, to 10-8 and has solidified its spot far away from NCAA Tournament bubble territory.
The top ten in the AP Poll are Kansas (1), Gonzaga (2), Dayton (3), Baylor (4), San Diego State (5), Kentucky (6), Florida State (7), Seton Hall (8), Maryland (9), and Louisville (10).
