Not a bad time to be an Ohio State sports fan, is it? The football team is #6 in the country, and after winning their 2012-2013 men's basketball debut behind a career high 20 points from star point guard Aaron Craft, Ohio State finds themselves #4 in both major basketball polls as well.
Deshaun Thomas and company are joined in the AP Top 25 Poll by #1 overall Indiana, #5 ranked Michigan, #21 Michigan State, and #22 Wisconsin. The same quintet check in at 1, 5, 22, and 20 respectively in the USA Today Coaches Poll Top 25.
