Ohio State points to lack of connection in blowout loss at Iowa: Takeaways Ohio State suffered a 17-point loss at Iowa that will damage its NCAA Tournament bubble hopes. Here are four takeaways from Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Sorry I haven't been as active on here, #OhioState hoops fans. I'll try to be better. Here's my takeaways from that #Buckeyes loss at Iowa last night, with more to come: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

We don't see daily practice so I withhold some judgement in such situations, but in my eyes not playing him going forward would be some version of malpractice.

World traveler Christoph Tilly appreciating experience at Ohio State Christoph Tilly has been all around the world for basketball, and now at Ohio State he's enjoying the experiences the game has provided.

He's lived in Chile, Germany, Columbus and Cali, as he calls it. Christoph Tilly is a world traveler, and he's brought those experiences with him to his senior season at #OhioState.

β€œI like to see how different the world is,” he told me.

Tilly's injury happened so close to gametime that they had little time to prepare. It had a significant impact on how that game played out.

I think the position change has come with positives and minuses. I don't think regression is the right word for it.

A few fun facts about #OhioState's looming game vs. Penn State on Mon:
-PSU got to town last night, beating the storm
-FS1 has had to make a change in announcers, but otherwise broadcast crew is set
-#Buckeyes practiced early today before Level 3 issued. Coaches picked players up.

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork says low Schottenstein Center crowds 'not just one thing' The Ohio State men's basketball team has played in front of smaller crowds at home this season than in years past. Athletic director Ross Bjork sees it as a layered issue.

#OhioState has struggled with home attendance this men's basketball season. I talked with #Buckeyes AD Ross Bjork for his thoughts on what's going on and how OSU can draw bigger crowds.

"It's not just one thing," he told me.

"We can’t just do it one time," he told me.

First thought is Dec. 2, 2017. Hoops won at Wisconsin and football beat Wisconsin in Big Ten title game, but not sure if they actually overlapped or not.

At Rutgers, Jake Diebler, Ohio State celebrated another Big Ten road win It wasn't long ago that Ohio State couldn't buy a win on the road in Big Ten play. Now the Buckeyes are 2-0 to open this season and cherishing each win.

And that Rutgers win? The #Buckeyes weren't about to apologize for a road win in Big Ten play, no matter what it looked like for much of the first half.
