THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. ? As harsh as it might seem, the Ohio State women?s basketball team already appeared to be moving forward yesterday in the crushing wake of the season-ending injury to senior guard Brandie Hoskins. "We realize that she?s not going to be here," senior wing Stephanie Blanton said. "Brandie, her game, was very unique. No one on the team has her style of game. No one can try to be like her. They have to be themselves and play to their own capabilities. Everybody has to step up."

Ohio State senior guard Brandie Hoskins will miss the rest of the basketball season after tearing her left Achilles' tendon Thursday in the Buckeyes' 70-67 win at Minnesota, the school said.
Hoskins, a Chaminade-Julienne High School graduate and the team's second-leading scorer, was injured late in the first half. Ohio State coach Jim Foster said Hoskins knew what had happened as she left the court.

Women's Basketball
Buckeyes Claim 15th Straight Win with 69-60 Victory at Illinois
By John Porentas
 You have to give the Illini one thing, at least they were original.
Following the spate of "whiteouts" that has swept stadia and arenas across the nation and have now become borderline trite, the movers and shakers in Champaign-Urbana came up with something original. It was "Paper the Hall" day at Assembly Hall for the Illinois (16-8, 6-6 Big Ten) vs. No. 4 OSU (23-1, 12-0) basketball game. The University partnered with the local newspaper, The Champaign News-Gazette, in a promotion in which just short of 10,000 tickets were given away in the hopes of creating a home-floor advantage for the Illini.
