Ohio State's season has started with a solid win over Texas and a dominant performance against Youngstown State, but the loss to Texas A&M reveals vulnerability against higher-tier competition. Their upcoming schedule features pivotal matchups, like games against Maryland and Indiana, where victories could significantly enhance their tournament profile. However, there are also games they should win against lower-ranked teams like Valparaiso and Campbell, which they must take care of to maintain momentum. The inconsistency shown in their early games suggests they need to develop both offensive chemistry and defensive cohesion to rise in the standings.
