Perfect no more: Iowa runs away in the second half, wins 75-62

Winners of three of their last four games and in position for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament if the season ended today, Ohio State (16-7, 9-5) knew that its defense would be tested today against the Iowa Hawkeyes (18-8, 8-7) and their high-soaring offense. Iowa is the No. 6 offense in the nation according to KenPom, leads the Big Ten in scoring (83.8 PPG), and has a National Player of the Year candidate in Keegan Murray (23.3 PPG, 8.4 REB). They also avoid turnovers like the plague (8.9 TO per game) and have 10 players averaging 10 or more minutes per game.
