Bob Hunter commentary: Buckeyes, Foster overcome hurdles, win with new pieces
Monday, March 3, 2008 3:01 AM
By Bob Hunter
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
There is no coaching manual that tells you what to do when you lose stars the caliber of Jessica Davenport and Brandie Hoskins, no simple list of directions with steps marked a, b, c and d. Even when some of the returning players are very good and some of the incoming players are dripping with promise, there's a good chance the new team isn't going to come close to matching its predecessors' accomplishments. It's just the way it is. There are just too many things that can go wrong, too many potholes waiting to be hit. The name on the jersey is the same; the team is completely different.
It's not easy to see that, though. When a team has won three consecutive Big Ten basketball championships the way the Ohio State women had, expectations go up and the level of difficulty for that fourth title drops, or so it seems. Winning league titles starts to seem almost like a rite of passage when it's not that easy.

Ohio State Buckeyes' Jantel Lavender of Cleveland Central Catholic wins Big Ten Player of the Year
Tuesday, March 04, 2008 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Robin Lavender wasn't sure her daughter, Jantel, would even start for Ohio State as a freshman. That's why when Jantel called Monday, Mom started screaming. Lavender, from Cleveland Central Catholic, was named the Big Ten Player of the Year by the league coaches Monday, the first freshman to win the award in its 27-year history. She's really breaking new ground. No men's player has won the award as a freshman, not even former Ohio State center Greg Oden, since it was first handed out in 1985. "All that hard work has paid off," Robin Lavender said. "We were going for Freshman of the Year, that we knew. But this is so much fun." Lavender grabbed Freshman of the Year also, as awarded by conference coaches and media. She will share the Player of the Year Award with Wisconsin senior guard Jolene Anderson, who was awarded by the media.
