Game Awards: Iowa Basketball Crushes Ohio State At Home

Please Be Better: Isaiah Moss

After not playing in the second half against Illinois, Isaiah Moss stayed in the starting lineup and saw 19 minutes against Ohio State. He recorded six points and two rebounds, but he struggled shooting all night outside of a two-minute stretch.

From 7:12 to 5:12 remaining in the second half, Moss scored six points on 2-of-2 shooting and 2-of-3 shooting from the line. In his other 17 minutes of playing time, Moss missed his other six shots and recorded just two rebounds but one turnover and three fouls.

The good news is he played aggressive on offense and looked for his shot. After not attempting a shot in six minutes against Illinois and attempting four or less shots in four of the previous five games, Moss attempted eight against Ohio State. They just didn’t fall.

With Brady Ellingson having a huge game, Dom Uhl playing well with six points, six assists and five rebounds, and Peter Jok returning to action sometime this year, Isaiah Moss can’t afford to string together bad games without seeing his minutes take a hit.

Iowa didn’t need his scoring against Ohio State, as they scored 85 points for the first time since January 5 against Nebraska, but a fifth straight game of making fewer than 50 percent of his shots could lead to a decrease in minutes.
