Iowa’s NCAA bid falls short in Big Ten tourney loss

The Iowa Hawkeyes dropped an 81-64 decision to Ohio State on Sunday in the championship game of the Big Ten tournament. Senior Luke Recker led the Hawkeyes all weekend and had 21-points against the Buckeyes. Recker says it was not a matter of the Hawks running out of gas, he says the Buckeyes were a fatigued too. Recker says the Hawkeyes biggest problem was having to fight back from a 14-point halftime deficit as O-S-U got off to a quick start..Recker says he will always wonder why they struggled during the Big Ten regular season but says they will make the most of their N-I-T opportunity. He hopes the younger guys can learn from the mistakes made this season.
