Ohio State cliff notes game plan
Iowa would like to make this an up-tempo game and push things up the court. Knowing that, it’ll be a struggle to see which team can impose its will. Wisconsin was able to slow things down a bit and get the Hawkeyes out of their rhythm just enough to create issues scoring the basketball. Ohio State needs to get that tape out and remember to get back on defense, help out down low on Luka Garza and then make Iowa shoot jumpers from the outside.
On offense, it’s much of the same. Get into half-court sets and move the ball well. Try to get dribble-drive penetration and find the open shooters when the defense helps out. The Hawkeyes aren’t the best defensive club, but you have to still take good shots and knock them down. Kaleb Wesson might be more effective out on high sets on the perimeter on this one to draw Garza out of the lane rather than going toe-to-toe with him down low.
