Colgate's Katie Garman reaches in and fouls Ohio State's Sarah Schulze, who had stolen the ball moments earlier.
The opening games of the Buckeye Classic yesterday in St. John Arena didn't include any man-bites-dog news snippets for either the Ohio State or Auburn women's basketball teams.
The 15th-ranked Buckeyes (5-0) and 24th-ranked Tigers (5-0) surprised nobody by doing a steamroller number on a hapless opponent to set up a collision of power conferences today in the championship game.
OSU flattened Colgate 88-26 with one of the most dominant defensive performances in program history. Despite playing without All-America guard DeWanna Bonner, Auburn also encountered few problems while rolling over Winston-Salem 70-37.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Auburn brought a lesson in speed to the Ohio State women's basketball team yesterday in the championship of the Buckeye Classic.
During the course of the game, the 24th-ranked Tigers (6-0) explained with the backs of their uniforms that they had more oomph in the engine than the 15th-ranked Buckeyes (5-1), and they used it to run to a 67-58 upset victory in St. John Arena.
Auburn built a 15-point lead in the first half and steadfastly refused to let Ohio State draw closer than eight the rest of the way, despite a 22-point, 17-rebound performance from Buckeyes freshman center Jantel Lavender.

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Coming off two-consecutive losses to ranked opponents, No. 17 Ohio State righted the ship Sunday afternoon at Value City Arena with a 69-55 victory over Ole Miss, a NCAA Elite Eight qualifier from last year.
The win improves Ohio State to 6-2 while Ole Miss drops to 3-3.
Freshman Jantel Lavender recorded her third-straight double-double and her fourth of the season with a season-best 24 points and 15 boards. Meanwhile junior guard Ashlee Trebilcock busted out of a shooting slump, draining a career-high five 3-pointers on her way to a season-high 18 points. She also added four assists.
