Win against a ranked opponent? Checkmark.
Ohio State hadn't beat a top-25 opponent or a team in the top six of the Big Ten – until Tuesday.
With just a couple weeks remaining in the regular season, the Buckeyes garnished their NCAA tournament resume with a 90-70 win against No. 22 Iowa at the Schottenstein Center behind a second-half outburst from freshman Justin Ahrens. Their overall record improves to 18-10 and 8-9 in the Big Ten.
Ahrens, starting his second game in a row, provided a scoring spark with 25 of his 29 points coming in the second half.
