00:00 History in the women's game and some upsets of course deeper into conference

00:05 action on the men's side. What a game it was yesterday in Columbus at the shot

00:12 192 for Ohio State against Iowa. A top-20 tilt in Big Ten play. The 18th ranked

00:20 Buckeyes win outright in OT. 192 over number two Iowa handing the Hawkeyes

00:28 just their second loss of the season now in 20 games. It is unfortunate then what

00:34 happened after the game's conclusion will detract from a great basketball

00:39 game and a great atmosphere yesterday inside Columbus, Ohio because after the

00:45 upset fans of the Buckeyes stormed the court. All good, celebrate the atmosphere,

00:51 enjoy the environment. Unfortunately there was a collision between an Ohio

00:56 State fan and Iowa's Kaitlyn Cork who had a season-high 45 points in the

01:02 Hawkeyes defeat against Ohio State. No serious injuries although Cork was on

01:08 the ground in some pain after the conclusion. Kaitlyn Cork after the game

01:13 said that she was blindsided by the hit. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith

01:18 who was on his way out did apologize to Kaitlyn Cork and Lisa Bluter and the

01:23 Iowa women's basketball team. An interesting game Donny that of course has

01:27 led to some discussion and discourse on social media. What did you see?

01:33 Watching the overtime by the way getting to overtime

01:36 now how to stay with that nice fourth quarter comeback outscoring Iowa by

01:39 seven points or even to four so then 17 points in the overtime. Kaitlyn Cork that

01:43 45 points she's always gonna be magnificent in every game but it's

01:46 interesting like it wasn't really a court storming because I watched again

01:51 waiting for the football game I watched the entire the overtime session like you

01:55 saw the the crowd like walking down towards the court this wasn't like a

02:00 college football game with a storm and they sprinted a 50-yard line and there's

02:03 thousands of people there wasn't that many but I guess you can equate it Ben

02:06 like you're growing up in like gym class right kids are just running around all

02:10 over the place you catch somebody out of the corner of the eye you brace yourself

02:13 you collide and it doesn't look that bad because it didn't look that bad but it's

02:16 still a dangerous scenario if somebody runs on the course who knows it might

02:19 not have been a big collision Ben you sort of turn your ankle your knee a

02:23 certain way and maybe you miss a game or two that could be big here but I know

02:26 now you're gonna get that emphasis from the NCAA to basically say you know what

02:29 you got us around the court here if there's a chance to storm the court

02:32 nobody's allowed on it if you do there's harsh penalties because let's keep in

02:36 mind of something here college is great it's a unique atmosphere we love it

02:40 running onto the football field with Tennessee beat Alabama and everybody's

02:43 smoking cigars you remember those type of themes here but you don't see that

02:47 professional sports like if the your team wins the NFC or AFC championship

02:52 game the fans don't rush the field and if they do that's like 60 days in the

02:56 slammer of $15,000 fine and terroristic threats here I don't know if we have to

03:00 go to that level in college sports because it's sort of that atmosphere

03:03 but we probably are heading in that direction Ben
