On Thursday, the Ohio State basketball team lost its eighth Big Ten game of the season and suffered its ninth loss overall as the Buckeyes fell to the 20th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes 85-76. Now, they must try to bounce back but it will be against one of the top teams not only in the Big Ten, but in the country as they face No. 7 Maryland on Sunday.
If the Buckeyes want to get not only a bounce-back win, but a statement win, then they need to play much better defense on Sunday than they did on Thursday.
