Iowa shells OSU, gutting Buckeyes’ NCAA hopes with blowout

Ohio State’s NCAA tournament hopes took a major hit with a 74-57 loss at Iowa, drowning in a 21-1 run that followed an early 14-2 surge by OSU and left the Buckeyes staring at a 37-23 halftime deficit. Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz (22) and Alvaro Folgueiras (20) led the scoring on a night Ohio State couldn’t muster consistency as Bruce Thornton was held to 10 and Mobley (15) and Royal (16) paced the Scarlet and Gray. The loss drops OSU to 17-11 (9-8 Big Ten) and sets up a must-win clash with No. 8 Purdue as they chase an at-large bid, with questions looming after back-to-back defeats.

Iowa's late burst exposes Indiana's depth and fatigue in 74-57 win

Indiana dropped its third straight game, 74-57 to Iowa, as the Hoosiers’ fatigue and thin rotation again hindered them down the stretch. IU’s defense has slipped in Big Ten play, allowing about 1.15 points per possession, while opponents are getting to the free-throw line (Iowa went 21-for-23). Tucker DeVries continued his shooting slump (2-for-9 from the field; 12-for-47 from 3 in seven Big Ten games), whereas Bennett Stirtz starred for Iowa with 27 points and five assists. Indiana plays only eight players and has several non-contributors, contributing to lingering fatigue and foul trouble. The result underscores depth and finish-ability issues as IU navigates a challenging conference schedule.
