This is an 8* play on Iowa

Ohio State is looking to rebound from an upset loss at the hands of Rutgers Wednesday night, a game they were favored to win by 5.5 points. They lost 64-61, which could drop them out of the top 25. Things get no easier tonight for the #16 team in the country as they have to visit Iowa, who is one of the nine Big 10 teams currently slotted for the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes have pulled off consecutive minor upsets, first over Nebraska, then at Northwestern, the latter coming without leading scorer Tyler Cook. With this game being at home, they are favored here. Ohio State was 12-1, but has now dropped consecutive games for the first time. They lost at home to Michigan State last weekend, which was okay, but losing at Rutgers is not. Iowa should get Cook back here, which is a big deal seeing as he's also 5th in the Big 10 in rebounding. The Buckeyes are going to have trouble stopping a Hawkeyes team averaging 86.1 points/game in Iowa City, which is a major reason why they're 9-1 SU here this season. Play on IOWA
