Ohio State got over the hump in a big way last week. Recently, the Buckeye basketball team lost three games in a row by a combined score of five points. All winnable games, but Jake Diebler’s team just couldn’t close them out.
Then OSU went to West Lafayette to face a tough Purdue team, a team that rarely loses in Mackey Arena. But Ohio State battled back from a halftime deficit to defeat the No. 11 ranked Boilermakers by a score of 73-70.
Now, the Buckeyes head back home to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Fran McCaffery’s team comes into the contest at 13-7 having struggled of late. The Hawkeyes are led by big man Owen Freeman who’s averaging close to 17 points per game.
