The Buckeyes' defense has been something special since the season started. Twice this season they’ve held teams under 40 percent shooting, and through three games teams are shooting an average of 35.1 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from three.

Holtmann said after Ohio State’s season-opening win over Cincinnati on Nov. 7 that its defense would be its calling card, and so far it has. Freshman Luther Muhammad said that at times he prefers that side of the floor over the offensive side. He’s proven to be the Buckeyes' best perimeter defender so far this season.

College basketball rankings: Ohio State deserves more respect as it joins the Top 25 And 1
The Buckeyes are rolling once again after being doubted in the preseason


Ohio State was picked 11th in the Big Ten last season in what doubled as Chris Holtmann's first year at the school. The Buckeyes responded by going 15-3 in the league to finish tied for second. This season, after losing five of its top seven scorers, OSU was picked ninth in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes have responded by starting 3-0 with wins at Cincinnati and Creighton.

That's two top-45 KenPom wins -- on the road.

So perhaps it's time to stop underestimating Holtmann? All he's done, after all, since replacing Brandon Miller at Butler just before the start of the 2014-15 season is win games in four straight NCAA Tournaments while never finishing worse than fourth in his league. And now, in his second season at Ohio State, he's already recorded two road wins over top-45 KenPom teams.

Nobody else, at this point, has more than one.

As such, Ohio State is the new No. 19 in the updated Top 25 And 1. What that means is that the Buckeyes are now one of eight -- eight! -- Big Ten programs in these rankings. The others are No. 8 Michigan, No. 11 Michigan State, No. 21 Maryland, No. 23 Indiana, No. 24 Nebraska, No. 25 Purdue and No. 26 Wisconsin.

OHIO STATE SELLS OUT GAME IN ST. JOHN ARENA AGAINST CLEVELAND STATE

The Buckeyes' return to historic St. John Arena will be met with a capacity crowd as the Nov. 23 game against Cleveland State is officially sold out, Ohio State announced on Friday.

The team returns to the historic venue for the first time since 2010, and this marks the first sellout in St. John Arena since March 24, 2008 – an NIT game against California.

Since the Buckeyes moved to the nearby Schottenstein Center as their official home court, they're a perfect 5-0 in games played in St. John Arena, and they'll look to improve upon that record against the Vikings.

Ohio State is an undefeated 3-0 on the season with road wins against 2018 NCAA Tournament teams Cincinnati and Creighton.

With the team off to a hot start and playing in a beloved arena for the first time in nearly eight years in front of a sold out crowd, I think it's safe to expect St. John to be rocking.

I'm not saying Creighton is a world-beater now, but it is a fact that this season OSU now boasts a victory on the road against the same program and in the same gym that dominant national champ #1 Villanova suffered their 4th and final defeat in February of this year.
