D'Angelo Russell's dazzling pass deserved a better finish for Ohio State

Ohio State freshman D'Angelo Russell led the Buckeyes with 10 points in fhe first half at Iowa on Saturday. He had only one assist in the first 20 minutes but should have had another.

Russell put a little english on a wonderful pass through the lane to Sam Thompson controlling the bounce and getting it to curve around a defender early in the half, but Thompson couldn't finish when he corralled it and found himself with a layup opportunity.

Iowa led by nine at the break in a pivotal game for the Buckeyes who came in 3-2 in Big Ten play.
