Ohio State needed overtime to win after blowing a double-digit lead for the second game in a row.
After blowing a 14-point lead in the final three minutes of regulation in its previous game against Minnesota, Ohio State squandered a 12-point lead in the final two minutes of regulation against Iowa. Just like they did against the Golden Gophers, however, the Buckeyes battled back to earn a win in overtime, defeating the Hawkeyes 86-78 on Monday afternoon at the Schottenstein Center.
The Buckeyes improved to 22-3 on the season and 11-3 in Big Ten play while snapping a six-game winning streak for Iowa.
