Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Tied for last place:sad:
The Ohio State women?s basketball team discovered that rock bottom apparently has a lower level.

Wisconsin sent the Buckeyes (11-8, 1-5) to their eighth consecutive Big Ten road defeat with a 68-49 thrashing that smelled of sulfur yesterday afternoon at the Kohl Center.

The victory ended a six-game losing streak for the Badgers (9-10, 1-5) and featured total domination by the home team, which outscored the visitors 43-20 in the second half.

Morgan Paige led Wisconsin with 28 points. Jacki Gulczynski got all 14 of her points after the break to help the Badgers also end a 20-game losing streak to Ohio State.

The poor performance by the Buckeyes, who now are tied for last place with Wisconsin, defied history for Ohio State coach Jim Foster.

?Without a doubt, I?ve never seen a game like this,? he said. ?In the 11 years I?ve been here, I haven?t seen anything close to it.?

Another loss:popcorn:
The gears didn’t mesh again for the Ohio State women’s basketball team last night in Value City Arena, and the resulting gnash of metal on metal left the Buckeyes to ponder another Big Ten game gone wrong.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers hung a 62-53 loss on the Buckeyes, their seventh defeat in eight conference games this season.

Jordan Hooper dissected the OSU zone with a 28-point performance that included five three-pointers and a seeming mid-range answer for any threat the Buckeyes (11-10) posed in the second half.

The Huskers (15-6, 5-3) made shots whenever they needed them. The Ohio State players, who were 1 of 13 from beyond the three-point arc, felt like the basket kept moving on them.

“I think it’s just the way things are going for us right now,” senior co-captain Amber Stokes said. “We had some open looks. The (ball) just wouldn’t go in the hoop.

“They were making everything. We were trying to move on defense and just got there late. Man, they’re a good team, though.”

The pressure of losing, however, is mounting because familiar problems with turnovers and rebounds continue to set too many brush fires.

“To be honest, it’s hard to come into practice and be positive,” Stokes said. “But it’s something we have to do. We have to prepare for Indiana (on Sunday).”

Nebraska broke from a 23-21 lead with an 11-0 run late in the first half that included seven points by Hooper.

Women Win Women Win:wink:
Tayler Hill scored 16 of her 24 points in the second half to power Ohio State past Indiana 70-56 today in Assembly Hall.

The Buckeyes (12-10, 2-7) snapped a three-game Big Ten losing streak and moved out of a tie for last place in the conference with the Hoosiers (10-12, 1-8).

Darryce Moore and Amersyt Alston each scored 11 points for the Buckeyes. Jasmine McGhee led Indiana with 15.

A pair of technical fouls on the Indiana bench sent Hill to the line for what turned into six free throws. She made five and stretched a 47-41 lead to 52-41. Moore followed with a three-point play that gave OSU control of the game with 12:08 to play.

Two wins in a row. This one in 2 OTs. Unbelievable.
An Ohio State women?s basketball team sorely in need of a miracle found one last night in Value City Arena on what felt like the final tick of the castle clock before midnight.

Trailing Wisconsin 52-48 with 1.5 seconds remaining in the second half, OSU senior co-captain Tayler Hill drew a foul from Morgan Paige on a three-point attempt.

Fans did the math, and many started heading toward the exits while Hill made the first two free throws. She missed the third ? on purpose, of course ? and that?s when something magical happened.

Amber Stokes tipped the long rebound to Ameryst Alston, who corkscrewed an over-the-head layup into the basket that beat the buzzer and sent the Big Ten game into overtime.

Ten minutes and two overtimes later, the Buckeyes (13-10, 3-7) were owners of a 65-59 victory. The Badgers (10-13, 2-8) boarded their pumpkin and headed home with a disheartening loss.

?Well, we go through this in practice when we need to miss,? Hill said. ?Usually, we just shoot a regular free throw and miss on purpose, and I think they would have been ready for that.

?But the guards, we just talked about it. I just caught it and shot it. I think that caught the other team off guard. Amber had a great tip, and Ameryst finished. That?s just a regular shot for her.?

Alston had her back to the basket but still got the ball over the rim before the buzzer sounded.

3 in a row: Keep Hill and let Foster go.
The way back for the Ohio State women’s basketball team required a third consecutive trek over some difficult Big Ten terrain yesterday afternoon at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Ill. Hard hats and work boots remained optional.

Faced with another must-win, the Buckeyes ground down Northwestern 59-52 with solid defense and a 26-point, six-steal performance by senior guard Tayler Hill.

The victory was the third straight for Ohio State (14-10, 4-7) and pulled the team into an eighth-place tie with Minnesota in the Big Ten with five games remaining in the regular season.

Watching this Nebraska game. Girls have their heads somewhere else to start the game. Tayler doesnt see the ball on offense until almost 4 minutes gone and the defense looks terrible. Awfully unathletic looking and I know that isnt true. Where has their energy gone?

I guess the Nebraska women did not like our men's team beating the Husker's men's team twice this season. They really laid the lumber to our women's team. If it were not for Tracy Hill we might have gotten shot out:biggrin2:

Oh No:shake:
Home as a safe haven suddenly is a distant memory for the Ohio State women?s basketball team.

Rachel Banham and Minnesota punctuated that point last night in Value City Arena by dealing the Buckeyes a stunningly painful loss in what already felt like a root canal of a Big Ten season.

After Raven Ferguson hit a pair of three-point field goals in nine seconds to give OSU a one-point lead with eight seconds left, Banham sprint-dribbled to the right of the Minnesota free-throw line and launched a one-handed contested shot over Amber Stokes that scarcely made a whisper as it fell through the net.

The Golden Gophers had a 57-56 win and the Buckeyes were counting their fourth conference home loss. A season ago, Ohio State (14-12, 4-9) was 19-0 at home overall and 8-0 in the Big Ten.

Times have changed, and close doesn?t count in basketball, not even against the Gophers (16-11, 5-8).

?I was coming to trap (Banham),? senior guard Tayler Hill said. ?Just one more second and I was there. Amber played great defense. (Banham) hit a great shot. That?s it.?

The Buckeyes trailed for most of the game and were down 53-48 with 1:46 remaining. Stokes hit a bank shot to cut it to 53-50, but Shayne Mullaney answered that with two free throws at the 1:06 mark.
