tOSU -12.5 at Iowa (ov/un 135.5) Tue 9 ET, BTN

[Bestbuck36]

Watched the game after the football game. Defensive intensity was atrocious the entire first half and some times later in the game.

It seems like we sometimes were just out there playing streetball and not focusing. Second half we went to our strengths and started pressuring the ball alot more.

Should have actually covered the spread. Up 11 with about 3 to go and we went back to sleep again on both ends.

Very young team and the seniors need to yank em from time to time and get them refocused.

15 straight road wins in the Big10. Still impressive no matter how you look at it.

Weber sees cracks in Ohio State

Bruce Weber finally saw Ohio State look mortal on Tuesday against Iowa. "A lot of those home games they played and at Florida, it didn't seem like you had any hope of beating them," Weber said. ... But the Hawkeyes gave Ohio State a game -- Iowa led by seven at halftime and even when Ohio State pulled ahead, Iowa came back and forced Ohio State to hit its free throws at the end. It gave Weber and the rest of the Big Ten some hope that the Buckeyes could be beaten. "They're still good, there's no doubt, but they didn't look quite as dominating as they have," Weber said.

I'm assuming Matta will send Weber a nice fruit basket for providing this locker-room material.

Yeah, but behind the scenes Webber is telling his players not to go into Columbus overconfident.
