How It’ll All Go Down
This is going to be fun 🍿

This is another stiff challenge in a run of stiff challenges for Ohio State in the Big Ten. The problem in this one is that is a mismatch nightmare for the Buckeyes. They simply don’t have a big enough post presence to neutralize big man Luka Garza. Ohio State will run guys at him in waves, and have proven that it can play in multiple ways this season, but unless the Hawkeyes have an off shooting night, this will be a tough one to put in the win column. Advantage Iowa in this one.
Final Score
Iowa 79, Ohio State 67
