Sullinger Helps Buckeyes Overcome Foul Trouble at Iowa
By Brandon Castel
The Buckeyes overcame a hostile road environment, early foul trouble and a tough shooting night from William Buford Saturday to knock off upset-minded Iowa 76-47 in Iowa City.
They have Jared Sullinger to thank for that.
Playing in his eighth game after missing a pair of contests with back spasms, Ohio State’s star big man showed he is regaining the form that won him college basketball’s National Freshman of the Year award last season.
Sullinger kept the Buckeyes (15-2, 3-1 Big Ten) out in front with 15 first-half points and helped them put the Hawkeyes (10-7, 2-2) away with 13 more in the second half. He finished with a season-high 28 points to go with eight rebounds and four steals in 31 minutes.
The Buckeyes also got 10 points from Deshaun Thomas and eight from Buford, who also had 11 rebounds, five assists and three steals. The team’s lone senior was 0-10 shooting in the first half, however, and did not score his first points of the game until the 18:57 mark in the second half.
It didn’t help that three starters—Thomas, Lenzelle Smith Jr. and point guard Aaron Craft—spent most of the first half on the bench with foul trouble. Freshman point guard Shannon Scott played some of his best basketball to help Ohio State maintain a lead without three of their key players in the first half.
