Buckeyes rematch vs the Hawkeyes tomorrow at high noon & I'm looking forward to it. This game could be revealing about Jake Diebler as a coach. The first matchup, Iowa put a systematic beatdown on OSU with what seemed like a very basic gameplan. There definitely need to be some major differences in the game strategy for OSU. Having Tilly and Noel (fingers crossed) available to help should make a difference somewhat. Offensively, OSU struggled mightily against Iowa's hard hedge and they prevented the Buckeyes from getting clean looks in the middle of the paint that they thrive on normally. Defensively, Iowa was able to create mismatch problems off switches and exploit them - Alvaro Folgueiras in particular. I would certainly hope OSU has some different strategies to attack this team. At the very least, OSU having a healthier frontcourt (fingers crossed) should help change the dynamics somewhat.
