Month by month, week by week, day by day, Ohio State just keeps getting better.
Chris Holtmann's team entered Thursday having won six of its past seven games, including three victories against teams ranked within the top-15 when the games tipped off, and it just secured its best win yet.
The seventh-ranked Buckeyes waltzed into Iowa City, Iowa, for a top-10 matchup with the No. 8 Hawkeyes and won, 89-85, in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. They improved to 15-4 overall and 9-4 within the Big Ten.
The game was tied 75-75 with 5:23 remaining, and from there Ohio State went on a 13-6 run sparked by three Justin Ahrens 3-pointers after he missed his first four of the night.
