Ohio State has started to be more selfish on the offensive end
Iowa up 64-51 with 7:33 to play.
Ohio State has now turned the ball over 10 times, while Iowa has just four turnovers. Hawkeyes have 18 assists while Buckeyes have just eight.

What makes this offense go, is the ability to share the basketball and score from multiple spots on the floor. Against Michigan State, and now against Iowa, there has been far too many dribbling, less passing, and too many 1:1 breakdown opportunities. That’s not going to get it done against the better teams in the league.
It can appear like guys aren’t getting open any longer when the ball doesn’t move and guys don’t penetrate to open opportunities all over the floor. The team would be well-advised to study the film of how it went on that long winning stretch and find its identity again.
