How It’ll All Go Down
We said it last game, and we’re going to reiterate it here. Ohio State looks like a tired team. OSU has played more games than any team in the Big Ten, it is dealing with some banged-up players, and shots on Sunday often fell short, a sign of tired legs. Iowa plays a style that will punish you if you don’t have the energy to guard, run the floor, and rebound, and the Buckeyes need a break. They’ll get it after this one, but won’t be able to pull this one out.
Final Score
Iowa 80, Ohio State 74
