Thad Matta's Buckeyes remain 7th in the country. - Greg Bartram-USA TODAY Sports
Beating Long Beach State in style was enough for Ohio State to remain at 7th in both major college basketball polls.
Thad Matta's Buckeyes remain in the top 10 of the country in the wake of their resounding 89-55 victory over the Big West's Long Beach State this past weekend. Deshaun Thomas, Aaron Craft, and company were 7th in both polls a week ago and remain there this week with their 6-1 overall record.
Next up for the Buckeyes is a Wednesday night home clash with 5-4 Savannah State (of the MEAC) and then another early Saturday afternoon affair, this one against the 3-4 WInthrop Eagles.
