Women's basketball: OSU cruises despite shaky second half

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
 Joe Nicholson Associated Press
Ohio State's Marscilla Packer, passing under pressure from Sara Mosiman, scored 18 points.
SEATTLE -- The late spaghetti western director Sergio Leone could have scripted the women's basketball game between Ohio State and Washington last night.
Along the way to a 71-54 victory, the 19th-ranked Buckeyes (7-2) displayed something good in the first half, something bad in the second and, at times, a little bit that was downright ugly.
In its first game following a two-week layoff, Ohio State built a 45-21 halftime lead behind withering inside performances from Jantel Lavender and Star Allen. In the second half, Washington coach Tia Jackson used multiple substitutions and full-court pressure to rattle the Buckeyes into 15 turnovers.
The win pleased Buckeyes coach Jim Foster. The play in the second half didn't.

Especially Dunning from Eastmoor Academy in Columbus. She is one of the top forwards in the country. He did get a Pete Marovich type PG from New York, New York. I don't think he had many scholarships to give out... not sure but don't think there are many seniors on this team.

the thing I like about those rankings of basketball players all over the country is that they play against eachother/or teamed up in those summer/holiday tournaments. So its easier to tell who has the talent . |

Long addition
6-5 center back after foot surgery

 Andrea Walker
Sophomore center Andrea Walker turned from a tourist into an Ohio State women's basketball player Sunday at Washington after a surprise wave of the hand from coach Jim Foster. Out for the past five months after surgery on her right foot, Walker logged three minutes in the 71-54 win for the 18th-ranked Buckeyes (7-2).
"I didn't even know I was getting into the game," she said. "They just told me to get ready. It was really nice to get back on the court.
"I'm not 100 percent yet. I've been practicing the past two weeks. But I'm getting back into it."

Guard unnerves Penguins backcourt
Little's steals spark deciding 17-2 run

 CHRIS RUSSELL dispatch
Shavelle Little steals the ball from Youngstown State's Kelsey Gurganus, one of six for the sophomore.
Shavelle Little still is learning to pick her spots when picking the pocket of an opposing point guard.
The Ohio State sophomore had six steals last night in Value City Arena to spark the 18th-ranked Buckeyes (8-2) to an 84-50 victory over Youngstown State in a women's basketball game.
Little ended the first half by stripping Penguins point guard Lauren Branson of the ball. The play allowed Ashlee Trebilcock to score and give the Buckeyes a 37-25 halftime lead.
The scene of the crime was similar to the opening of the second half when Little took the ball away from Kelsey Gurganus. Little scored this time on a breakaway layup that helped ignite a 17-2 OSU run.
