THE University of Iowa wins one for the gimper game thread

Iowa was dominated on the offensive glass again tonight. OSU had 14 to Iowa's 5. Iowa can get away with that with the home crowd cheering them on, but on the road that is a killer. Iowa did shoot 55% tonight, which certainly helped.
OSU missed a lot more shots than Iowa, and badly. Those are hard to predict. Offensive rebounds are not statistically significant in predicting wins in many studies, which seems counter-intuitive and makes sense at the same time, but to be fair it is a very misleading stat.
 
Cordell and Ryan were huge on D

Held Wesson to 10 points

Which might have led to giving up offensive rebounds to the buckeyes

Cordell was all over the place pushing the bucks around all night

He is a trash talker also

He and Ryan were also instrumental in keeping Liddell under control late in the second half

He only had 5 free throws the entire second half

They had a war going on

:cool:
