After PSU reclaimed the lead, Sammy hit Tayler on the break for 3, then Maria stole the ball and Sammy made a beautiful skip to the right corner late in the clock and Maria made another 3. The defense has been furious and Jantel has dominated the glass. 3:26 to go 76-71 Buckeyes. Jantel with a...

Maria makes another 3 from Sammy in transition at 5:53 to give the Bucks a 70-69 lead.

Furious comeback and the Buckeyes are down 63-62 at the 11 minute timeout. Sammy has been on fire, drew a charge and then made an old fashioned 3 pt play. Jantel found Shavelle wide open under the hoop from the double team then Sammy hit Sarah on the wing for a 3 on the break. OSU ball coming...

Horrific start down 31-19 with 8 min to go. Defense is leaky, shooting is ok but OSU has 10 TOs to PSUs 2 and so have taken 10 fewer shots.

Let's be realistic - ever hear of the "freshman wall"? I think Tayler's feeling that a little but she's done pretty well all season, the last few games excepted.

The five guards was mostly a strategy of necessity rather than choice, I think. I like Iowa's guards, too - Alexanderr in particular but Wahlin and Printy are fine players. I would suppose that in a case of an opponents' smaller, quicker lineup and hot shooting Foster would have to go with...

OSU up 77-73 3+ to go - Brittany, Jantel and Sammy scored in a 7-0 run to get the lead to 5, Alexander made 1 FT and Sarah answered with 2. Now 79-73.

69-69 after Brittany drills 2 3s. Iowa is tough and didn't cringe when they went down 7. 6:39 to go - very well played game both sides.

55-51 OSU at the 15 min mark, OSU on an 8-2 run. Man to man looks much better so far and Iowa has only tried one 3.

44-43 Iowa at the half. Sammy gave OSU its first lead on 2 FTs at 38-37 but Iowa scored the next 7. Jantel had a 3 pt play and Alison hit 2 FTs to get it where it is now. OSU has 12 pts off Iowa turnovers, but Iowa has collapsed all over Jantel, though she has 10 at the half the rebounds are...

36-33 Iowa 3+ to go. The Hawkeyes have been on absolute fire from 3 (7-10) and OSu has gone man on a few possessions to slow that down. Alison Jackson is having her best game of the season and has been a big lift off the bench. Shavelle's on the bench with 2 fouls, very balanced scoring: Jantel...

Halfway through the first 20 Iowa leads 21-18. Hawkeyes are shooting very well especially from 3. Pace is fast. OSU in an extended 2-3 zone and Iowa has done a good job finding shooters.

Regardless of the two losses this week, the frustration of watching them play poorly and the clear step back they have taken, over the course of the season the Buckeyes have put themselves in a group of teams including ND, Tenn, Neb, Duke, Georgia, Baylor, TAMU, Tex, LSU and maybe a very few...

This pretty much kills any chance for a favorable seed and a chance at the Final Four this year. Time to dial back and concentrate on fixing some basic flaws and let the post season take care of itself.

IU up 59-59 with 5 min to go. Both teams are ice cold (OSU no FG in 4+ min) and the whistles have neither been consistent nor favorable to the Buckeyes. IU collapsing all over Jantel and hitting the offensive glass hard, both teams with 15 now. Tayler and Sarah back in with ANdrea, Jantel and...

OSU off to a sluggish start, but Brittany hits a 3 to make it 45-39, then Elam for 3 and a steal/layup, Indiana on a 9-3 run. Sammy hits a 3 to quiet the crowd but they blow a 2 on 1 (Tayler's put back looked like a foul, no call). Davis hits to cut the lead to 2, 48-46, Indiana timeout with...

OSU up 42-35 at the half. The lead has been as high as 9 but IU has been very scrappy and have made key mini-runs to keep it close. The defense has been good but IU does have 8 offensive boards and have capitalized on 9 Buckeye turnovers. On offense, the pace has been fast and Jantel has gone...

Excellent post -I agree with you here 100%.

Do you think Sammy is a selfish player? Or that she passed up open passes for her own shot for selfish reasons? Or that her teammates think that of her?

81-58 final, Sammy and Jantel finish with double-doubles. An excellent team effort overall and a great return to form after Monday's disappointment. Indiana next on Sunday on BTN.
