OSU's Foster certain Buckeyes women can break hex of early NCAA exits

Ohio State head coach Jim Foster and star Jantel Lavender expect a better result in this year's NCAA Tournament, after a recent history of early exits.

Saturday's game: Ohio State vs. Sacred Heart, at Columbus, 2:30 p.m.


COLUMBUS -- Every year it's the same -- Ohio State women's basketball coach Jim Foster holds a watch party at his home for the NCAA Tournament selection show, the Big Ten champion Buckeyes are given a high seed, the players smile confidently ... and then they exit the tournament long before they're supposed to. (Last year was made more interesting by a reporter stepping on and sinking into the tarp covering Foster's in-ground pool.)
The first Big Ten team in 22 years to win five consecutive conference titles, the Buckeyes are 72-12 in the Big Ten regular season the last five years and 3-4 in the last four years of the NCAA Tournament. Foster, speaking generally of college basketball, bemoans the idea that the only thing that people care about is the NCAA Tournament. When you're so dominant in your league and so disappointing in the NCAAs, that's magnified 10 times over.
"I get that vibe all the time," said Ohio State sophomore center and Cleveland Central Catholic grad Jantel Lavender, the Big Ten Player of the Year. "It's what you do in the Big Dance. The regular season is great, but it's like, what can you do against the best teams in the country and how can you perform against those teams that are No. 1 in their conferences also?"
