Ohio found itself in the national rankings for the first time since 1995 on Tuesday when the final USA Today Coaches Poll was released.
Following a school-reocrd 29-win season and run to the Sweet 16, the Bobcats finish the season as the No. 25-ranked team in the country.
Ohio has not been ranked since 1995, when the Bobcats climbed as high as No. 19 in the country in the AP Poll.
Ohio's highest ranking came during the 1969-70 season as the Bobcats reached the No. 5 spot in the AP Poll.
The Bobcats are the first Mid-American Conference team to appear in the rankings since Kent State did so in 2008 — Jim Christian's final season as the Golden Flashes' head coach.
