Point Guard Aaron Craft Emerging as Star for #1 Ohio St.
Last night, a national audience on ESPN saw the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes win their most important conference home game over the #12 Purdue Boilermakers in a game that was never even remotely close.

If you believe in the Ewing Theory, how a team can somehow get better and much more successful once their best player vacates, look no further that last year's Big Ten champion, and Big Ten Tournament Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.

Big 10 Power Rankings 1-17-11 Edition
Ohio State takes over the #1 position in both national college basketball polls. Just like they did in college football a couple months ago...then they lost their very next game at Wisconsin. In hoops, they don't visit Madison until February 12th, so maybe they'll be alright for awhile this time.
