Ohio State draws Sacred Heart in women's NCAA

COLUMBUS ? Ohio State will hit the road ? traveling all of about 3 miles ? to play in the women's NCAA tournament.
The Buckeyes (27-5), regular-season and tournament champions of the Big Ten, received a No. 3 seed and will be the host school at the downtown Nationwide Arena for first- and second-round games this Saturday and March 23. They play Northeast Conference champion Sacred Heart in the first round.
Coach Jim Foster was pleased with drawing the hometown if not homecourt advantage.
"Well, Nationwide (Arena) is not home," he said with a grin. "But we're in Columbus. Given the alternative and that this is exam week and we have traditionally hit the road, the fact that we're here and don't have to get on a plane and fly is a good thing."
Sacred Heart (25-7) is the 14th seed.
