OSU ranked #1 in Bball

At a "football school", such as Ohio State, it is easy to let basketball news slip by unnoticed. Since this blog is dedicated to both Ohio State football and basketball, I will do my best to keep you informed of both teams. As you may know, OSU football is ranked #1, in fact it has been the entire season. Did you know that this week OSU basketball is ranked #1 in the coaches poll? The last time the basketball team was ranked #1 they lost to #2 Cincinnati for the national championship in 1962, yes 1962. The fact that the football team and basketball team are ranked #1 at the same time is quite unusual. According to experts OSU is only the third school to achieve such a feat. UCLA did it in November 1967. Notre Dame was able do so in January 1974.
