I did not see the game because it was not broadcasted but the Ohio State offense is a little stagnant in my opinion but even with that the discrepancy in free throws seems a little overwhelming to say the least.

I did not see the game because it was not broadcasted but the Ohio State offense is a little stagnant in my opinion but even with that the discrepancy in free throws seems a little overwhelming to say the least.

I watched the feed on the net last night - believe it or not the Iowa radio announcers were screaming for more calls! I was wondering if there wasn't a little payback involved for Foster's (mild) discussion of the lack of calls that go Jantel's way this season.

Because of early fouls (particularly to Star), they had to play a zone for awhile in the first half and got completely slaughtered as Iowa shot nearly 70% in that stretch mostly from mid- and long - range jumpers or penetration pull-ups. They got out of it pretty quickly but Iowa played with great confidence and shot very well all night. The first half offense disappeared after Iowa went zone and took away Jantel; in the second half they were better on d, much more aggressive going to the hole and I thought they might be able to climb out of the hole a couple of times - giving up a few key offensive boards to Iowa and missing some FTs sealed the Buckeye's fate after they had gotten within 5.

I thought the officiating was a little questionable in stretches - on one play Sammy intercepted a long inbounds play off full court pressure, was bumped inadvertently by an Iowa player, fell to the court with an ankle injury and as the ball came loose, Iowa picked it up and went in for a pretty big momentum changing bucket. I though OSU should have gotten the foul call there but if not, at the very least they should have called a travel and an Iowa inbound. Regardless, Iowa played well, OSU had their chances but couldn't get it done. Let's hope they can get back on track this weekend and make a run for the regular season conference title.
