COLUMBUS, Ohio — Freshman standout Brice Sensabaugh scored a season-high 27 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, and Ohio State ended a five-game losing streak with a 93-77 win over Iowa on Saturday.

The Hawkeyes overcame a 12-0 Ohio State run in the first half but a 9-0 run early in the second half provided the room the Buckeyes needed to end a skid of single-digit losses.

Isaac Likekele had a season-high 18 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists for Ohio State (11-8, 3-5 Big Ten Conference) and Zed Key had 11 points and nine rebounds. Justice Sueing and Sean McNeil both scored 10 points.

Kris Murray had four 3-pointers and 22 points to lead Iowa (12-7, 4-4), which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Filip Rebraca added 15 points and Ahron Ulis 12.

Iowa was 7 of 15 from 3-point range and shot 48 percent in the second half but couldn’t keep pace with the Buckeyes, who shot 65 percent (22 of 34) and had a 21-10 rebounding advantage after the break.

Likekele had a pair of layups and Sensabaugh converted a three-point play in a 10-0 run that put the Buckeyes on top 49-39 with 16:20 to play.

Ohio State only averaged 66 points a game during the five-game losing streak but averaged 81 a game before the skid.

Iowa had not played since Sunday because Wednesday’s game with Northwestern was postponed because of COVID within the Wildcats’ program. That game has been rescheduled for Jan. 31.

The Hawkeyes play at Michigan State on Thursday and is home against Rutgers on Sunday.

Ohio State goes to Illinois on Tuesday.
