Tipoff is 8:30 tonight. This game makes me nervous for some reason. This isn't one of Iowa's best seasons, so it's a potential land mine game for the Buckeyes. Let's hope we don't underestimate the Hawkeyes.

Go Bucks!

I'm afraid it will end up a nail biter even though it really shouldn't be. The Bucks haven't been the most consistent club this season. It would be nice if they got a streak going now and carried it right into the Tournament Season.

The schedule is set up nicely for the buckeyes the next few weeks.

01/27 @ Iowa
01/31 vs. Minnesota
02/03 vs. Penn State
02/07 vs. Iowa
02/10 @ Indiana
02/14 @ Illinois

Then they will get Purdue AT HOME on the 17th of February, before their big trip to East Lancing to face Michigan State.

^ There's a home game in there against Iowa too before Indiana. 4 of the next 5 games are against the 3 worst teams in the conference.

No excuse not to go 5-0 in this stretch heading into Illinois.

You should be nervous. Iowa is probably playing some of their best basketball of the year right now.
On top of that, Anthony Tucker could be playing tonite. He was suspended earlier this year. He has been practicing since Monday and Licklighter has said he is "not ruling him out" for tonite.
Never easy on the road in the Big Ten.

Oh my gosh. How the hell was that a foul on Turner? First the continuation and then that. Unbelievable.

Well, Dynasty is getting his wish....seeing the OSU bench in action. OSU down 4pts now. Simmons, Madsen and Hill are just not that good and thats quite obvious to "most".

Nice baseline help Iebler.

Ugly first half. Iowa is like a bad mid major team playing in the Big 10. No reason for this game to be close.

Stupid, stupid foul. Jesus.

I'm a little surprised Turner wasn't put out there for the last 9 seconds on O.

U play on the road in Big Ten, I don't care who it is, its not going to be easy. Iowa took MSU to the wire not long ago.

But yes, OSU was BAD. Matta went to the bench, and as I have been saying all year, they are just not that good.

Turner with 2pts at half. OSU didn't shoot well. I can't believe that won't turn around in the second half. I expect a MUCH better effort and better play in second half.

What an awful half of basketball by OSU.

Poor shooting. Poor spacing on their offensive sets. Stupid fouls. Being out rebounded by a smaller team. No intensity, what so ever. Help defense is non-existent.

Fortunately, Iowa isn't that good so it's only a 25-20 game.

Thad is going to rip some ass in the locker room.

Michigan State won by 18 @ Iowa. Purdue won by 11, and Minnesota by 12.

Iowa is not a Big 10 caliber team this season. Matta better be lighting a fire under someones ass right now, because that was an unacceptable half.

Horsecrap call against Turner. Replay shows the guy threw his arm out. A no call on that. 2 of Turner fouls were bad calls.

Turner with his 3rd.

3 scarlet jerseys seriously just let that little guy guy drive to the bucket, draw contact, and get the continuation. Pathetic.
