I really thought that Moeller was going to be the answer after all the things that I read about her after she committed. I will agree that he is a consummate pg but her outside shooting is lacking.

Packer did struggle this season, shooting only 37.9%, but she did lead the Big Ten last year at 46.2%. I think a lot of us got spoiled having Caity Matter around. Not only was she an outstanding shooter, but she could take over games with her outside shooting. Packer is a good shooter, but not nearly as good of a player as Matter was.

Excellent points. Dont forget about Katie Smith before that. I almost think having that dominant of an inside presence has hurt our shooting, much like the boys team, due to trying to feed so often itstead of playing in flow. We don't have that sharp shooter right now and thats obvious but we arent making the mid range shots either other than Ashley Trebilcock. Again I think it comes down to helping out Jess inside and getting in a groove more on the offensive end. I love the way Moeller stepped up yesterday we just dont really have an answer for that 3-4 position right now from the opponents.

That is exactly what I thought while watching the game yesterday. We couldn't beat or defend the 3 and 4. gearlds for sure had a great 2nd half. Everytime she shot she hit it seemed like. We couldn't defend the height. |

Ohio St. collapse in Big Ten final could be costly
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
By CLIFF BRUNT
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Ohio State?s fatigue hurt its chances in the Big Ten tournament championship. The Buckeyes will have to wait for the NCAA tournament pairings to see how costly their exhaustion really was.
The fifth-ranked Buckeyes, drained after an overtime win over Penn State in Sunday?s semifinals, lost 64-52 to No. 12 Purdue in the final on Monday night. Ohio State?s collapse might have cost it a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
The Buckeyes fell behind Purdue 21-0 and didn?t make a field goal for more than 10 minutes to start the game. Jessica Davenport finally made Ohio State?s first basket with 9:36 left in the first half after the Buckeyes missed their first 13 shots.

OHIO STATE WOMEN
Loss to Boilermakers puts Buckeyes in jam
Jockeying could leave OSU with a No. 4 seed

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State won the outright Big Ten regular-season women?s basketball championship with relative ease.
The Buckeyes (28-3) then lost convincingly to Purdue in the championship final of the conference tournament Monday in Indianapolis.
Three other heavyweight teams with regular-season conference titles on their resumes ? Duke (Atlantic Coast Conference), Tennessee (Southeastern Conference) and Connecticut (Big East) ? also fell short of winning their conference tournaments. Don?t, however, expect Ohio State to fare as well as the other three when the seeds are announced at 8 tonight for the NCAA Tournament.
