Scoring pace has slowed - but they're still diving for loose balls and playing hard. That's the lesson they had to learn and it looks to have taken. Sammy has a double double with 21 and 10 assists and Jantel is close with 18 and 9. Shavelle has played a really hard, aggressive game and has...

55-26 at halftime! This is some bounce back performance. Sammy has 19 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and a steal, is 7-9 from the floor, 3-3 on triples and perfect from the line. Jantel is playing very hard and is showing no effects from the bad ankle. She has 12 with 7 boards and a block. Much...

Sammy is on fire! 15 points and 9 assists, 0 turnovers 1 missed shot. Jantel is moving well and finishing often with some pretty slick moves inside. Brittany and Sarah have been much more aggressive, Tayler has looked good and the D has drawn 3 offensive fouls 47-24 with 2 min to go.

The Ladies are off to a great start against Minnesota tonight. 31-15 7:47 to go - Buckeyes got out 10-0 to start. They're shooting 60% (12-20) and only Minny's hot hand (50%) on not-so-easy shots is keeping them in range. Sammy on the bench for a rest with 9 points 6 assists and a steal...

Nutzball - who, exactly, do you think he's reversing the ball for? Jantel. He would be the idiot some people call him if he didn't do that. She didn't finish as well as usual tonight and Sammy shot it poorly. That's a calculus that will get this team - or any team - in pretty serious hot water...

Down 5, 16.9 seconds to go Sarah to the line. Way too many easy misses, slipshod offense, too many offensive boards - hopefully, a lesson learned. Sarah makes both. Foul Houser (62% and a frosh but having a monster game) - :13 to go. Makes the front end - makes the second. Sammy makes a 3! 7.8...

48-48 7+ minutes to go. Turnover, Purdue can go up here. Trading misses - ouser scores on a drive and 1 on a clear out. Not a great call. 51-48 Purdue, both teams in the bonus 6:20 to go. Walker scores from Jantel, Houser drives again and Maria gets called for travelling - another poor call...

44-39 Buckeyes, Purdue ball 12 min to go. It's been a hard fought 2nd half, very physical and both teams went thru a 4+ min scoring drought. It's 44-41 now, Sammy just drew Malone's fourth foul in the open court, media timeout.

Buckeyes grabbed a 16-0 lead but only lead at the half, 32-29. Purdue got a big lift from their bench - the younger players like Houser and Ostarello had very good halves. OSU missed too many short looks but also didn't work it enough on some possessions and settled for some early shots. They've...

@ Purdue 7pm ESPN2 Tonight Brittany started the game on fire - 3-3 from 3 pt land to give tOSU a 9-0 lead. Purdue went man after a timeout and Jantel has gone to work. It's 18-7 at the 11 minute mark. Purdue was ice cold to start and missed their first 8 or 9 shots, but the bench has woken them...

Indiana was easily Sammy's worst TO game of the year and the last few games have had less assists because she's had to score more and the team as a whole is not making as high a percentage as in the beginning of the season. That said - she's second in the nation in assists and her A/TO rate...

Buckeyes dismiss Illini, somewhat sloppily, 72-61. Maria hit back to back threes to blunt Illinois' last run and secure the win. It was never really in doubt but IU showed grit and toughness by hanging in and getting it as close as 3 in the second half. Karisma Penn and Whitney Toone had nice...

I really don't see a lack of teamwork. They seem to take what's there and if the perimeter players are guarded then Jantel is one-on-one in the post or Sammy has a driving lane. When they help off the shooters, Sammy kicks it out or Jantel passes out of the double. I don't think they reversed...

Weird - they kept OSU on in NY but cut to UConn in Ohio? Here's the endgame: 63-62 Bucks 34 sec to go Isolation for Jantel on DeHann, drives and is fouled. Jantel makes 2 FTs, 65-62. MSU has only 2 3pters for the game and has missed their last 11 attempts. Timeout Sparty. Bucks go man to man...

MSU timeout, about 18 to go and the Buckeyes up 43-39. Much more aggressive this half and three triples already for Sammy, Sarah and Brittany.

They finished the half on a bit of an up-note and trail 35-31. Sammy's penetration and shooting has kept them in the game, but Jantel seemed to get more comfortable the last few minutes and Brittany hit one three so hopefully they will be better from the floor in the second half. I thought they...

The 2-12 was very uncharacteristic but if they were a jump shooting team I would agree that it would be troublesome. As a team that has a strong inside game and a very good transition offense, they can overcome a poor perimeter night once in awhile, so long as it doesn't come against a team that...

ESPN Article Graham Hays has some good things to say: No reason for Ohio State to worry - ESPN :osu:

Amber has a stress injury and will be out until after Christmas
