The Big Ten Tournament continues this evening when the Iowa Hawkeyes (16-15, 7-13) and the Ohio State Buckeyes (17-14, 9- 11) meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Ohio State was more than likely eliminated from NCAA Tournament consideration as a result of Saturday’s 66-60 loss at Indiana…unless they make a deep run this weekend.
Iowa has scored in the 80s in four of their last five games but have won just two of those affairs.
These teams met on January 27 and Ohio State rolled in Columbus, 82-65, behind 18 points from Micah Parrish.
