They should be pretty solid. Return 7 of their top 8 scorers from a 20+ win season, plus a tournament win over Clemson last year set them up for a good preseason ranking. The Big10 is looking pretty strong this year.

Looks like we've got six games against the preseason top 10. One at home(Purdue), four on the road(MSU, Purdue, WVU and Butler) and one on a neutral floor(UNC). We will have been well tested by the time the tournament comes around.

I know, it's going to be a fun season. It's nice to have one of the strongest conferences for a change. :)

#25 Syracuse loses to LeMoyne College in an Exhibition.

82-79

(Wasn't sure where to put this. Our we going to have conference threads for these types of discussions? I suppose this works since Syracuse was ranked)

Quite interesting but as MaxBuck said doesn't mean anything in the long run. I remember in 2007 Michigan State lost to Grand Valley State and almost lost to Michigan Tech and ended up in the Sweet 16.

I won't mention who beat the Buckeyes that same year and they ended up with the NIT title. Exhibition games are all about finding out what your bench can do.

OSU up to #13 in the AP Poll (from #20). SI.com - College Basketball - Rankings - The Associated Press Top 25 Poll

Also up to #18 in the Coaches Poll (from #24). SI.com - College Basketball - Rankings - Division I Coaches' Top 25 Poll

IMO, that seems like a pretty big jump for beating two not-so-good teams. Then again, I thought OSU was under-ranked in last week's rankings, so I think somewhere around #15 is probably about right. OSU has, since Turner's return, clearly established itself as the #3 team in the Big Ten (maybe #2, depending on how Purdue's playing).

Agreed. Perhaps the rise is more due to the losses of the teams ranked above, but very close in the vote tally, to Ohio State? The Buckeyes are only about half a vote, on average, above #15.
