Can't believe they let them back in the game.
I must say that this crowd of 2000+ was more enthusiastic than any I have seen at the boys games.

OSU WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Allen stars in second OT for Buckeyes
Wednesday, November 22, 2006
Rusty Miller
Associated Press
Columbus- Star Allen scored 16 points, in cluding five in the second overtime, to lead No. 6 Ohio State to an 80-72 women's basketball victory over Boston College on Tuesday night.
The Buckeyes (3-0) survived despite blowing a 17-point lead in the final 4:11 of regulation. Kindyll Dorsey hit three 3-pointers in a span of 30 seconds in the final minute to fuel the furious comeback by the Eagles (3-1).
In two of the past three years, higher-seeded Ohio State teams have lost to Boston College in the NCAA Tournament.
In the second overtime, Allen opened the scoring with a basket inside and then later added a critical three-point play with 1:06 left - after Ohio State's two-time All-America center, Jessica Davenport, had fouled out. Her three-point play put the Buckeyes ahead, 77-72, and gave them some breathing room.
Brandie Hoskins led the Buckeyes with 20 points. Hoskins had torn her right Achilles tendon in the waning moments in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last March.
Kathrin Ress had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Boston College before fouling out, while Dorsey had 21 and Elisabeth Egnell had 16.
Davenport had 19 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out in the second overtime.
The Buckeyes led, 55-38, after two free throws by freshman point guard Maria Moeller with 4:11 left. The Eagles surged to get close, and then Dorsey hit three 3-pointers in the final 41 seconds, the last coming at the 13-second mark to tie the game at 59-59.
After Hoskins hit two foul shots with 11.1 seconds left, the Eagles forced overtime when Laura Lokitis hit a 5-footer in traffic with 1.7 seconds left.
Ress then intercepted the Ohio State inbounds pass and got off a decent shot, but it was wide of the mark.
Ohio State trailed throughout most of the overtime but finally pulled even at 70 with 19.1 seconds left when Davenport hit a 10-foot baseline jumper. Boston College set up for a final shot, but Sarah Marshall's fallaway jumper with 4 seconds left hit the side of the backboard.
The Buckeyes were unable to get off a shot after that.
BOSTON COLLEGE (3-1)-Ress 10-20 2-2 23, Kentish 0-3 4-6 4, Marshall 3-7 0-1 6, Dorsey 7-14 0-0 21, Egnell 6-14 2-3 16, Lokitis 1-3 0-0 2, Rusin 0-1 0-0 0, Picco 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 27-62 8-12 72.

Big win for the Lady Bucks. BC has been a sore spot for them for a couple of years.

I honestly didn't expect us to win that game after the end of regulation. Was there a reason we didn't go to Davenport in the first OT after BC's center fouled out?
For those not at the game, the start of the first overtime was entertaining. We got the tip, took it downcourt, and were promptly called for over and back, giving the ball to BC. Basically, they said we were going toward the wrong basket. The crowd went crazy, because they went the direction that the officials lined them up. Eventually, the officials just reset the game clock to 5:00 and started with another jump ball, facing the other direction. We ended up getting that one too.  |

Davenport too big for Big Red
Center leads Buckeyes? rout with 24 points
Sunday, November 26, 2006
Jim Massie
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Stephanie Blanton, right, steals the ball from Lindsay Krasna of Cornell. Blanton sparked Ohio State?s breakaway run in the first half with active defensive play off the bench.
Cornell coach Dayna Smith recognized the size of the mountain facing the Big Red yesterday, even before the Ohio State women?s basketball team and All-American center Jessica Davenport took the court in St. John Arena for the Buckeye Classic.
"Obviously, we were overmatched," Smith said. "Defensively, we tried to front Davenport. We tried to front their posts. We thought they could score over us. (Davenport) still had her 24 points. She played terrific. I don?t know if we were physically able to compete with that."
The sixth-ranked Buckeyes overpowered the Big Red for a 77-43 victory in front of 3,936 fans. Davenport led an offensive effort that never let up with 24 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.
"Coach (Jim Foster) told us during the game to play the game, not the score," Davenport said. "We were up big, and I think we got a little lackadaisical. So we had to keep playing hard. We just went out and executed the game plan."
Ohio State (4-0) will face Montana (3-0), a 68-61 winner over Davidson, at 2 p.m. today in the championship game. The Big Red (0-4) and Wildcats (3-2) play at noon.
Davenport had more than enough help. Senior guard Brandie Hoskins had 19 points and six assists, and junior guard Marscilla Packer added nine points and five assists against no turnovers.
The Buckeyes, who committed 19 turnovers Tuesday in a double-overtime win over Boston College, had just 10 against the Big Red. That number pleased Foster.
"The number I look at is turnovers and assists," he said. "When we reverse the ball, we?re a good basketball team. We get pretty good shots. By moving the ball and putting Jess in a situation where she?s moving around, it?s a lot more difficult to come up with a trapping scheme."
In the opening minutes, Cornell scrapped and hung close. The Big Red trailed 13-9 after Kayleen Fitzsimmons made a three-pointer with 13:24 left in the half. OSU senior Stephanie Blanton entered the game 30 seconds later and fueled the decisive run.
"I thought when she came into the game, she made a couple of hustle plays that led to quick, easy baskets," Foster said. "She made two great passes out to Brandie by getting on the floor and just being active."
Hoskins scored back-to-back fast-break baskets and the Buckeyes never looked back.
"The way we played defense led to transition for the offense," Hoskins said. "We played really well on defense. We got on the floor a lot. Most of the offense I got came from defense."
The Buckeyes led by 39 points in the second half and Foster played everyone on the roster for at least five minutes. The bench contributed 18 points, and freshman Lesslee Mason-Cox scored the first four points of her Ohio State career.
Sophomore Jeomi Maduka led Cornell with 21 points and nine rebounds. She couldn?t, however, stop Davenport.
"We watched a lot of film," Smith said. "She?s very controlled. For that size and her power, it?s amazing how controlled she is when she catches it. She?s the real deal."
