Iowa frontcourt had foul trouble the first half. Gotta keep going inside on those guys.

Big time finish to the half considering that start. Let's go boys!

Iowa came out sharper from having just played. Ohio State shook off the bad start and totally dominated the paint. Bynum really got to them with his dunks, and Tilly makes it a nice 1-2 punch inside. Royal could get in on that inside action if he starts playing like himself.

I love that we have a composed floor general in Thornton. He should keep things steady for us in the 2nd half. And Mobley hopefully gets going, because he has been playing great as of late coming in to this game.

It was a rare treat to see the ideal 2-for-1 by the Buckeyes to end the half.

Got a dunk with a little over 40 seconds left, and got a bucket from Bruce with about 4 seconds left.

If they could hit some 3s they could pull away.

I'm exceedingly happy with this. I said the day Slapshot flew away that internally hiring a pure academic was the best we could hope for. I had some dark thoughts about how a protracted external search might play out with our current board, Wexner and possibly the legislature getting involved. I'm happy and hope as someone noted above that he can manage the politics currently involved and focus on putting the university back on the track it was on before Slapshot. Since the board obviously quickly moved on that, perhaps they deserve more credit than I've been willing to give them.

Things I'd like to see are lowering the size of the freshman class to under 8K and building a fucking hockey rink for the women. And put Gee out to fucking pasture at long last or at the very least severely limit his role to nothing more than being your Wexner whisperer.

So glad OSU has a halftime lead.

Considering we were like 1/8 from 3 and had a good number of turnovers going into the half with a 4 point lead is quite impressive.

Bruce!!!

Hold for the last shot, please!

He lost me at Goldendoodle;-)

Tilly and Bynum!

Another wide open layup for Iowa, come on D.

Tilly coming up big the first half.

Iowa is just hacking the shit out of Tilly whenever they get the chance. He's gonna be at the FT line a lot in this game

Peaking? Damn good result there

Good job making FTs, Tilly.

Can't believe they had to review that.

That dude blocks better than their O line!

Call it. Yes sir

Yessir BRUCE!

Bruce!

Yeah when Iowa doubles Bruce and Tilly is open on the slip, how does he not get the ball?

Now they are calling some weak ass fouls on us. 2 in about 30 seconds of play
