Ohio State remained idle in both polls even after picking up their second loss of the season, 76-63, to Big Ten foe Purdue.

The Buckeyes received 10 first place votes and stayed at No. 2 in the AP poll, while taking 4 first place votes and holding on to the number 3 slot in the USA Today/Coaches poll.

Duke returned to the top spot in both polls after 4 of the top five teams went down in defeat.

The Buckeyes return to action Tuesday at Value City Area, hosting Illinois at 7pm.
