Iowa State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Oregon started 58-0 this basketball season. They are a collective 0-13 0-14 since. Not one of those teams has won in two weeks. ESPN blogger Eamonn Brennan calls the plunge “fascinating.” That is not the word I would use. Luke Winn’s Magic Eight? Try Magic 8-Ball.
Scary parallel: Iowa State was undefeated and #9 in the country at midseason heading into Norman…just like the 2002 football team.
Ohio State has the best slump-busting opportunity tonight Thursday at home vs. Illinois.
(As for the ISU women, we may have to move up to full-fledged exorcism.)
UPDATE: I erred on Ohio State’s next game date, and Wisconsin lost again.
