It’s no secret the Big Ten Conference is really good. And tonight, we get a top ten matchup when No. 7 Ohio State travels to Iowa City to face the No. 8 Iowa Hawkeyes.
The Buckeyes haven’t played since knocking off Michigan State by a margin of 17 points on Sunday. Iowa then played Sparty two days later beating MSU by 6.
It will be interesting to see how OSU handles the size of the Hawkeyes. Luka Garza is a beast at 6 feet, 11 inches, can play inside and out, averages 26.5 points per game, and shoots over 45 percent from beyond the arc. Iowa also has another almost seven-footer in Jack Nunge. It could be a matchup problem for the Buckeyes who top out at 6 feet, 8 inches.
Tonight’s game has huge implications in the Big Ten standings as well. Ohio State and Iowa are both currently tied for third place finding themselves just a game and a half behind conference leader, Michigan.
