Winners of 17 straight, the Buckeyes have played at an NCAA-tournament-quality level (.95+ adjusted overall rating) in 13 of those, and 17 of their last 21. They’ve posted 4 games in a row where the offense has been over 120 in efficiency, and the defense under 95. Do that again, and they should be make it to Atlanta. Their defense is playing as good as it has all year, and trending even better. Their offense is trending down a little, precipitated by a decline in eFG% and offensive rebounding. If they can get back after the offensive glass, their offense can avoid truly bad games, and their defense (and Greg Oden’s two healthy hands) can carry them all the way to Atlanta.
