Ohio State vs. Iowa 2017 final score: OSU comes up flat in loss to Hawkeyes, 85-72

Iowa didn’t have Peter Jok, the Big Ten’s leading scorer.

Ohio State basketball had a rough go at things Saturday night in an 85-72 loss to Iowa.

Iowa was without Peter Jok, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, because of a back injury. The Buckeyes didn’t get off to a particularly well start in this one, shooting 2-for-12 by the under-16 timeout. Iowa wasn’t shooting much better at 2-for-8, and the game was pretty sloppy for about the first six or seven minutes of the first half.

Both teams started picking up offensively after the slow starts. The Buckeyes and the Hawkeyes were trading baskets, with the Buckeyes not playing great defense. Iowa started to get into a rhythm, and you wouldn’t have noticed that they were missing the conference’s leading scorer. With Iowa up 25-19 midway through the first half, there was an energy from the fans that hadn’t been there all game.

That quickly went away as the game slowed down, and got back to its sloppy form. The Buckeyes kept pace with Iowa, though that was particularly difficult to do as the first half reached its latter minutes. The Buckeyes played with a bit more energy after a defensive change from Ohio State, and it made things more difficult for the Hawkeyes.

However, Iowa would close out the first half strong and go into the locker room up 40-29.

Trevor Thompson, who had a pair of fouls in the first half, picked up his third within the first 30 seconds of the second half. Thad Matta opted to keep him on the floor.

The Hawkeyes came out with more energy than the Buckeyes in the second half, beating them to basketballs they had no business getting to. Between that and the zone Iowa was playing, things were tough in the second half for Ohio State.

Lyle and Kam Williams started heating up offensively, but Iowa continued to keep the Buckeyes at a distance. The Hawkeyes extended their lead to 61-48 with 11 minutes left to go in the game, and the home crowd grew loud yet again. Iowa would further extend that lead to 67-50 over a matter of a few minutes, and you could sense comfort by the Iowa fans.

Trevor Thompson fouled out of the game with just under seven minutes to go in the game with the Buckeyes down 72-54. He had no points in his 13 minutes of play. Shortly after he fouled out, David Bell had four quick points for Ohio State, and they found themselves down 12, but Iowa refused to give up, and maintained their lead to the end.

3 things we learned


1. Turnovers hurt early. In the first half, Ohio State had eight turnovers against six for Iowa. It wasn’t a glaring difference, but it was the capitalization of the turnovers that hurt. Ohio State had just two points off of Iowa’s six turnovers, with the Hawkeyes having 11 points off of the Buckeyes’ eight turnovers.

The Buckeyes were more careful with the basketball in the second half, but Iowa continued to shoot at a high clip, and for a team like Ohio State, it’s almost impossible to overcome that. Had it not been for those turnovers in the first half and the points that Iowa got off of them, perhaps the second half could have been a different contest than the blowout that it was.

2. Ohio State didn’t take advantage of Peter Jok’s absence. You would imagine that Iowa — a team that came into the game with an 11-10 record — would have trouble without the Big Ten’s leading scorer in Peter Jok. That was hardly the case in this game, with the Hawkeyes shooting 50 percent from the field in the first half, and 43 percent from deep.

In the second half, Iowa looked even better. Scoring was pretty evenly distributed, with four players having at least six points in the second half for the Hawkeyes. It wasn’t a great look for the Buckeyes to not be able to even slow down the Iowa offense despite missing their best player, and for a team that hasn’t been all that great this season, it was a disappointing loss for Ohio State.

3. The offense had no rhythm. It was almost painful to watch. In the first half, the Buckeyes — as previously mentioned — hadn’t played with a lot of urgency. Part of that was it appeared there was no method to their madness on offense. Nobody was moving, passes weren’t crisp, and it was just an overall bad brand of basketball.

In the second half, JaQuan Lyle appeared to be fed up at one point, yelling at a couple of his teammates. He had a pretty good reason to be upset, as he stood dribbling the ball as the rest of his teammates watched him, going nowhere. As the second half progressed, Ohio State started shooting better and attacking the zone, but it was way too late, as the game was pretty much out of reach midway through the half.

The Buckeyes will try to win their fourth Big Ten game in a tough environment on the road against the Hawkeyes.

The up and down season of the Ohio State basketball team continued on Wednesday night with a hard-fought 78-72 victory over Minnesota at Value City Arena in Columbus. After losing their first four games to open the Big Ten schedule, the Buckeyes have now won three of four, and at 3-5 sit in a logjam of six teams tied in the standings.

With 11 games remaining in the regular season, there promises to be a great deal of flux in the conference, and Ohio State has an opportunity to turn its whole year around. The question is which Buckeye team will show up on a night-in, night-out basis.

“Every day is day one,” head coach Thad Matta said after beating the Gophers. “I think when we’re in the position we’re in, we have to think that there’s a lot of basketball to still be played. The second that we feel like we have this figured out is not good for our team.”

One player who certainly seems to have figured things out is junior center Trevor Thompson. The man Minnesota head coach Richard Pitino called “one of the most improved players in the conference” scored a career-high 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, good for his seventh double-double of the season.

Thompson, who returned to Columbus after testing the NBA draft waters last spring, has seen an uptick in both scoring and rebounding in Big Ten play. He’s contributing 11.6 points per game during the conference schedule, and his 9.6 boards a night trail only Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan and Northwestern’s Derek Pardon.

Despite his performance, though, Thompson knows the Buckeyes still have an uphill climb if they hope to hold onto their exceedingly slim NCAA tournament prospects.

''We can't relax, we can't feel good,'' he said on Wednesday night. ''We can't take this win and think that we're there because we're not by any shape or form. We just got to continue to chip away.''

That slow, steady chipping away is perhaps the identity this Ohio State team needs. The squad’s wildly inconsistent performance this season has at times had fans wondering about the direction of the program, and Thompson’s blue collar, hard hat mentality seems a good fit for a roster that lacks one true star player.

The rest of the season will be a test of the Buckeyes’ will, and that begins anew on Saturday night in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes have the same 3-5 conference record, and much like Ohio State, have lacked consistency.

Fran McCaffery’s squad is only a game over .500 for the year at 11-10, but at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, they have tough to beat, going 10-3. It will be a tough game for the Buckeyes to win, but should also give those who follow the program an indication of how realistic it is to hold any optimism for the team down the season’s stretch.

Numbers to know


80.4

For the season, Iowa ranks 46th in the country in scoring at 80.4 points per game, but that number is not indicative of the team’s attack since conference play began. The Hawkeyes have seen their scoring average drop to 73.5 points a night in the Big Ten, seeing their shooting and three-point percentages suffer.

Ohio State’s defense has endured a similar downward trend in conference play, as opponents are knocking down shots at a higher clip and scoring seven more points per game. For a team that sometimes struggle to put the ball in the bucket, that’s a recipe for defeat.

.555

During his tenure at Ohio State, Matta is 13-7 against Iowa, and actually has a winning record at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, going 5-4 (.555). The last time the two teams met, the Buckeyes edged a Hawkeye squad ranked eighth in the country, 68-64, last February in Columbus.

Marc Loving, who is coming off a 19-point effort against Minnesota, scored 25 points in that upset victory last season, but has traditionally struggled against Iowa. In four other meetings during his career, he’s accumulated just 27 points (6.75 per game).

14

Of 14 teams in the Big Ten, Iowa ranks dead last in points allowed during conference play, yielding an average of 81.8 points per game. That mark, coupled with their decreased offensive efficiency, has led to an average -8.3 scoring margin per game for the Hawkeyes. Only Rutgers has a worse margin than that.

Names to know

Ohio State


Kam Williams

Williams can light it up from the three-point arc with the best of them, but you’d never know that based on his performance in conference action. The redshirt junior has seen his three-point shooting percentage plummet to 27.6 percent (8-for-29) against Big Ten opponents. Iowa struggles defending the three-point line, ranking tenth in the conference with a 40.8 percent opponent percentage, and Ohio State’s chances for victory would get a big boost if Killa Kam can take advantage.

JaQuan Lyle

For a microcosm of Ohio State’s season, look no further than Lyle, who has shown tremendous playmaking ability, but too often given the coaching staff fits with his inability to take care of the ball. In the past three games, the sophomore has averaged just over 12 points and just under 4 assists, but he’s turned it over nearly five times a night. One facet of the game the Hawkeyes excel in is forcing steals, which they have done more than seven times a game during Big Ten play, good for fourth in the conference. Lyle’s scoring and playmaking are vital for the Buckeyes, but if the turnovers continue, he may well find himself watching from the bench.

Iowa


Peter Jok

For the season as a whole, Jok’s 21 points per game are the highest mark among players in the Big Ten. The athletic 6-foot-6 senior can score in a variety of ways, and has the potential to take a game over on his own. During conference play, his scoring has fallen to just north of 18 per night, and during Iowa’s current three-game losing streak, that number falls to just 9.3. As Jok goes, so do the Hawkeyes, which will make him the number one priority of the Buckeye defense.

Tyler Cook

Three of Iowa’s top four scorers this season are freshmen, and Cook leads the way at 11.9 points per game. The 6-foot-9 newcomer from St. Louis also hauls down more than five rebounds a contest, but has been held in check the past couple of games. In losses to Illinois and Maryland, Cook has scored just 13 points on 3-for-12 shooting, perhaps a sign of the freshman wall.
