Another one and done for the Iowa Hawkeye men at the Big Ten Tournament. The Hawkeyes fell behind at the outset 10-2 and never led in a 90-78 loss to Ohio State. Iowa offered little resistance as the Buckeyes shot 52 percent, including 11-of-20 from three point range. The Buckeyes set the tone by making eight of 11 from three point range in the first half.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Hawkeyes are 18-14 and their NCAA bubble burst with losses in the last two games.
Payton Sandfort led Iowa with 19 points and says defensive breakdowns early were costly.
The Hawkeyes are expected to get a bid to the N-I-T.
