Ohio State’s NCAA Tournament dreams likely dashed after 77-70 loss to Iowa
A few minutes later, Bruce Thornton converted a three-point play and then added a pullup jumper following a Harding turnover to cut the Ohio State deficit to 72-70 with 45 seconds left. Harding answered with a 3-pointer, Thornton missed a 3 on the other end and Payton Sandfort added two free throws to seal it for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa (17-15) will move on to face seventh-seeded Illinois (20-11) in the second round on Thursday.
Payton Sandfort finished with 17 points for the Hawkeyes, who shot 55% (29-of-53). Josh Dix added 16 points and Pryce Sandfort had 10. Harding shot 5-of-6 from the floor and made three 3-pointers.
