Movin' on up
Ohio State (22-3, 10-1) has won nine straight and ascended to second in both major polls. Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said he hasn't paid much attention to rankings since November.
But after Saturday's tight 63-56 victory against Purdue, Matta said he and his players understand being a target.
"We're in a unique position here," he said. "Last year, we were trying to climb up. Right now, people are trying to knock us off. I think that takes a special element of toughness and mind-set when you take the court."

Ohio State takes two seconds
Tuesday, February 13, 2007 From staff and wire reports
The Ohio State men's basketball team moved up to No. 2 in both the Associated Press poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll released Monday. The 22-3 Buckeyes, on a nine-game winning streak, moved up a spot after No. 2 UCLA was upset last week.
Florida, which beat Ohio State by 26 points in December, remained No. 1, while Wisconsin, which handed Ohio State its most recent loss on Jan. 9, was ranked No. 3.
Also, OSU point guard Mike Conley Jr. was named the Big Ten's co-Player of the Week after averaging 18.5 points and five assists per game last week. The Buckeyes visit Penn State on Wednesday and Minnesota on Sunday.

Living a dream: walking on at OSU
David Briggs
Media Credit: David Heasley
A Facebook group proclaiming him a deity claims 174 members. The student section piercingly chants his name. And when he scores, the arena explodes into a frenzy.
Yet the moment Mark Titus steps outside the Schottenstein Center, he is transformed into an unknown.
It's the life of a walk-on for the Ohio State basketball team.

Maybe he could enlighten us as to what he's hearing and who it's from. I personally am hearing more and more about journalists being jackasses... :)
