The Ohio State men's basketball team checks in at #4 in the first USAToday/ESPN Coaches Poll. I have to admit that is a little higher than I anticipated (8-11 range), so Matta and the Thad Five are certainly getting some respect. The schedule is absolutely brutal this season, but it's going to be nice to finally take UC out to the woodshed.
The Big Lead has a preview of the team that came with the classic photo of Greg "Superfly" Oden you see to the left (click to enlarge).
