The Iowa Hawkeyes’ hot streak ended at the hands of the Ohio State Buckeyes, 93-77, Saturday afternoon in Columbus. The loss puts Iowa at 12-7 on the season and 4-4 in Big Ten play.
It was a much needed win for the Buckeyes, who snap a 5-game losing streak, but the loss brings to a close a stretch of four games where we saw the Hawkeyes play some of their best basketball of the season.
That team didn’t travel to Columbus, however. The worst version of the Hawkeyes returned instead, featuring rushed shots on offense, bad turnovers horrid defense, and a huge absence from Tony Perkins.
