Result: Loss
Ohio State vs Iowa 6:30 ET
Hawkeyes over Buckeyes- Iowa is coming off a 73-61 loss to then-No. 12 Illinois on Sunday in the regular season finale, but it has won four of its past six games after dropping its first three Big Ten games. In the first meeting between the teams this season on Feb. 2, Iowa held off visiting Ohio State 79-77 as Tony Perkins' 20 points led a balanced attack. Jamison Battle posted 17 points for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes have won four in a row and five of six since he replaced the fired Chris Holtmann on Feb. 14, including beating then No. 2 Purdue in his debut. The loser of the second-round matchup between the Buckeyes (19-12) and the Hawkeyes (18-13) can likely start making plans for the NIT instead of keeping their hopes alive of making the NCAA Tournament. Take IOWA!
