The Buckeyes couldn't take down the Big Ten's top team in a matchup of conference heavyweights a week ago, losing 92-87 to Michigan. Here's their chance to prove they're still better than everyone else in the top tier.
TRENDS to watch
Trending up: Duke. The Blue Devils didn't need to panic after projected NBA first-rounder Jalen Johnson opted out. Coach K's team is better without him, winning four games in a row and especially with former Rochester John Marshall star Matthew Hurt looking like the ACC player of the year.
Trending down: Virginia. The No. 15 Cavaliers are the last team to win the national championship in 2019, but they're not playing anywhere close to that level right now. They've lost three consecutive games, including to unranked Duke and North Carolina State.
player to watch
Moses Moody, Arkansas: The 6-6 freshman leads the Razorbacks in scoring (16.5), but it's not only about his success. Coach Eric Musselman has the hottest team in the SEC with five consecutive victories, including recently beating No. 6 Alabama 81-66 behind Moody's 24 points.
