Ohio State basketball loses to Iowa: 5 things we learned

Ohio State went to Iowa and got down big early and couldn’t reel things back in. Here are five things we learned after the loss.

The difference between home and away

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an Ohio State basketball team play so different on the road than what it does at home. Aside from the one outlier against Michigan on the road, every game the Buckeyes have played against good competition in a true road environment has been a disaster at points in the game.

I know it’s hard to win on the road in this league, but to look like two totally different teams at home vs. on the road is troubling. Maybe this team grows up next year, but the disparity is just too great right now to expect the team to be able to contend for any kind of championship. That’s because going on the road is the reality of playing sports.
