In a season where the Iowa Hawkeyes (18-14, 10-10) never really seemed to have their feet under them, they played another game on a slip-and-slide in a loss to the blistering Ohio State Buckeyes (20-12, 9-11), 90-78.
Somehow the Hawkeyes never let the game get out of reach in the first half, despite OSU racing to a quick 10-2 lead behind a couple Bruce Thornton three-pointers. Payton Sandfort, as he seemed to do all season, was the guy who plugged his finger in the boat and kept Iowa afloat with three quick three pointers and an assist to Patrick McCaffery to tie it up at 15.
