We had a 10 point lead late in the second half and we made one maybe two field goals the last seven plus minutes of the game. Women's basketball officiating is brutal, you know that going into every game. Given the above facts they have nobody to blame but themselves, they were aweful down the stretch and they deserved what they got.

It's tough to win on the road in the Big 10.

I think if the Lady Buckeyes take care of PSU and Northwestern, they will be in good shape.

I was reading on the Ozone and they were talking about an Indiana player having a lane violation when the score was 52-51 in Ohio State's favor but the score never changed or was changed and anyhow Indiana got a point or Ohio State lost the point when nothing should have change so the game should have never went into overtime. I was switching channels so I missed something and I really can't understand what they are talking about over there.

I found the explanation


Here is the description from the ozone which I do not understand at all. I mean I understand it but why would the point still count.

Indiana's late second-half rally was also aided by a controversial call on the play that tied the game. With the Buckeyes still leading by one at 51-50, Indiana's Whitney Thomas was fouled with 2:38 remaining and went to the line with a one and one. Thomas made the free throw, but the officials ruled there was a lane violation the play, nullifying the shot and therefore did not award her a second shot. The Buckeyes inbounded the ball after the call, but the point was allowed to remain on the scoreboard to tie the game.

I was wondering why they still got that point as well when I was watching. There must've been a logical reason because nobody from Ohio State complained, or maybe our staff didn't even notice which is a whole other problem. The score was actually 52-51 at the time, the ozone may want to get their facts straight. Oh well, that wasn't the reason we lost.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

As the result of a scoring error, the Ohio State women's basketball team took a trip into overtime Monday night at Indiana that might not have been necessary.
The 18th-ranked Buckeyes wound up with a 69-61 loss to the Hoosiers that left them tied for first place in the Big Ten with Iowa.
The Women's Basketball Officiating Consortium reviewed the play and ruled yesterday that the Hoosiers had a point added to their score after a disqualified free throw with 2:38 remaining in regulation.
Contacted in State College, Pa., last night, Ohio State coach Jim Foster kept his feelings in check about the situation.
"We asked the referees," Foster said. "One of my assistants asked why they added a point and we were told it was taken care of."

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The flight home from Bloomington, Ind., on Monday night would have suited a dormouse or a librarian better than a group of college athletes.
"It was quiet," Ohio State senior guard Marscilla Packer said.
The 18th-ranked Buckeyes boarded the plane with their lips zipped after losing 69-61 in overtime to Indiana. The loss allowed Iowa to tie OSU atop the Big Ten women's basketball standings with two games remaining.
"I'm glad we get to play again this soon," Packer said a half-hour before boarding a charter plane for State College, Pa., yesterday. The Buckeyes (20-7, 11-5) meet Penn State (13-15, 4-12) tonight.
