#9 Iowa at #4 tOSU, Sun 2-28, 4 ET on CBS

[BB73]

Buckeyes try to end a 2-game slide as the Hawkeyes come to town.

Garza’s a load, and Bohannon and Wieskamp can make you pay for doubling him.

Nunge, who had a big game against the Buckeyes in Iowa City, is out for the year with a torn miniscus.

Hope Kyle is back. Going to need him. I would bet money that Ahrens doesn't go scoreless in this one against that zone

I believe ol Zed might be looking forward to this game. Good luck Garza!

What will be the bigger attraction? The game, or the officiating? Sadly, this is becoming a question each game in the B1G.

If Iowa plays zone, Ahrens will play huge. Best way to beat a zone is from outside or passes inside. Agree with Bestbuck that Zed will be licking his chops against Garza. Not entirely certain that the refs won't 'protect' Luke baby, and Zed will spend more time on the bench than not. If Kyle doesn't play, the outside length of Iowa will dominate on the boards. Believe EJ is player enough to 'get his', but he'll get banged around pretty hard. Annnnd, remember when I was told to 'bang back' ended up getting plenty of fouls. Hopefully he's slicker than I was (am certain he is). Duane needs to be coming to play (as he has the last two games), and of course Sueing, and to a lesser extent Towne, need to bring a healthy degree of O, as well as some tight D. Anyone know what's wrong with Meechie? His minutes have diminished, and when he was in, thought he did well. Iowa is going to come into this game with fire in their eyes, trying to land a higher Dance number, and revenge for tOSU ending their win streak in Iowa City. Will be a good match up. Anyone know if there are tickets available? You could probably get 4-5,000 in that cavern and keep 10' between groupings. Go Bucks!

Attracted to the game but most emotional about the officiating would be my bet.

Yeah.

And let me be clear, this isn't me saying the refs in the B1G "bone" tOSU every game. They are horrific across the board.

 

[Hetuck]

Well, shit. I was mistaken. I was thinking that OSU-Iowa was the early game.

This pinned thread is not the general college basketball thread.
