The Ohio State Basketball team comes into this season with high expectations, despite only returning one starter, Jamar Butler, they have been voted as the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten. Freshman Greg Oden has been voted preseason All Big Ten, even though he isn't expected to start until January due to wrist surgery. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo called Oden a "freak" and compared him to Magic Johnson when he played at Michigan State. "I’m not even sure Michael (Jordan) was in that (realm coming out of high school)," Izzo said. "Magic was. LeBron (James) would have been."
OSU is ranked #4 in the preseason USA Today Poll, with defending champ Florida ranked #1, North Carolina #2, Wisconsin #9 and Tennessee #24. OSU plays all of those teams this season.
