After six days off, Iowa looked flat. The interior defense was nonexistent, and the offense lacked rhythm most of the day. And, of course, Ohio State had a pretty good day shooting the ball.
Iowa would do well to finish 11-9 in the league, which might be enough to squeak into the NCAA. That looks like the ceiling. At 4-4 now, that means going 7-5 the rest of the way, which won't be easy, but it's possible.
