The road doesn’t get any easier for the Ohio State basketball team. After two wins last week over an upstart Penn Stats squad, and a reeling, yet still talented Michigan State team, the Buckeyes now have the daunting task of traveling to Iowa City to take on one of the most talented teams in the country, the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It’s a top ten matchup with both squads in a virtual tie for third place, and just 1.5 games out of first. The winner stays in the conversation for a conference title run, while the loser is faced with a significant setback toward that end goal.

As we do before every game, we provide you with some key players, a potential game plan, and of course, a prediction.
