Russell is so good. Believe it or not, this was a huge win for the Buckeyes. They couldn't afford a loss to NW, with their weak resume. No top 50 wins, and only 1 top 60 win thus far. They need to hold serve at home against MD and IU. At worst they need to split those. 0-2 may be too much to overcome in terms of getting an NCAA bid. If they don't win one of these next 2 there is a good chance they enter the B1G tourney with no top 50 wins. I don't think a team has ever gotten an at large w/out at least one top 50 win.
