The Ohio State basketball team seems to have righted the ship a bit after having an issue keeping up with any New Year’s Resolutions in January. After winning five of the last six, it now hits the road to take on a very talented Iowa team that likes to get up and down the court.

It’s another road game in the Big Ten, and getting a win away from home hasn’t been easy for anyone in the league. It’ll be no different here. The Buckeyes must bring their best game to have any shot of pulling off what would be considered an upset.

A win would be huge and would get Ohio State over .500 in the league for the first time since early December. A loss, and there’s still some work to do in a very difficult conference.
