Great to see Sarah Schulze back in the lineup for a few minutes, too! I certainly didn't expect that given the reported severity of her knee injury. If she can get back in game shape by tourney time to contribute even 15-20 minutes a game, it would be a big boost.

Gutsy play by the ladies yesterday. They'll still likely need to pull an upset in East Lansing to get a first round bye in the B10 tourney, but an extra game against a bottom feeder might not be the worst thing in the world in terms of padding the NCAA resume.

I think the team is at its best when there pushing the rock and putting pressure on the D with the teams speed. Even in the half court set they should keep a higher tempo going.

Hill should have a higher ppg avg. She is clearly the most athletic player on the team. She just needs to work on her mid range game and finishing with all that speed. A lot of times she seems out of control or over penetrates. If she can be that slashing wing player who consistently beat their man off the dribble we would be a very dangerous team during this end of season tourney run.

Great win for the ladies last night! Yeah, our last possession was a little questionable, but great job by Amber Stokes to pressure the ball for the last ten seconds, and force MSU's guard to throw up a desperation shot.

Thanks to the UM "women" losing to a bad Minnesota team yesterday, it also pulled us into a tie for 4th in the conference with a chance to claim a share of 3rd if we can take out the Badgers on Sunday. All of a sudden, a first round bye in the BTT is looking feasible with one more tough win.

Tough draw for the women in the B10 tournament. We got the 5 seed, and the first round bye, but I think the 6 seed might actually have the easier path. We play Iowa (despite ESPN's bracket having us against Iowa State :lol:), and then would almost certainly face MSU in the semis if we get past a pretty good Hawkeyes team.

That's 9 wins in a row!

I recall times when our girls won the regular season title, stumbled down the stretch, got knocked out of the BT tourney then got run out of the NCAAs.

Finishing on a roll going into the tourney - may not have even made the dance without winning the BTT after coming in 5th - is a different situation. Let's see when the brackets come out.

Props to the Lady Buckeyes for winning the Big Ten championship. As it has been said above, this team has come a long way in the past few weeks. They are finally playing as a team.

On another topic, Mr. Ed of the O-Zone posted last week that Jim Foster used to be a good interview but something has changed and he doesn't seem like the same coach anymore. Wonder if he is starting to wear down.

The ladies have come a long way from being swept by the Northwestern team that bowed out with a 25 point performance against Sparty! If I had to pick three teams I didn't want to play in the B10 Tournament, it would have been the three we beat. The ladies won it on probably the toughest draw of any top-half team. (Other than maybe Iowa, I guess, since they had to play us. :))

The Women's Draw is out. tOSU got a #4 seed in the Dayton Region.

The first game is against #13 UCF, Saturday at 1:30 ET in Columbus, and on ESPN2.

If they win, they'll play the winner of the 5-12 game between Ga Tech and Bowling Green.

The #1 seed in the Dayton region in Tennessee, Notre Dame is the #2 seed and Miami (FL) got the #3 seed.

Wow....did not expect a 4 seed. Not that I'm complaining too loudly, but that's awfully generous, in my IMO.

Seems like maybe they didn't give that 2-7 stretch nearly as much credence as I did.
