Star Allen and Ashlee Trebilcock couldn't miss. That's correct that they went 8/9 and 7/8, respectively.

Actually, I sold them short. The box score shows 9/10 and 8/9.

It's also worth noting that Penn State stayed on the court after the game and applauded along with the crowd for seniors Jessica Davenport, Brandie Hoskins, and Stephanie Blanton. A very classy move by caoch Rene Portland and her team.

Hmm...didn't notice that, but okay. There wasn't a whole lot that went on after the game at all, really, the team just went off to the locker room like usual. Maybe they meant during the time out when Foster took Blanton and Davenport out of the game? I did see them out there applauding during the senior day introductions, so I don't at all mean to imply that they weren't a classy team.

Speaking of classy, there was a very large contingent from the OSU football team at the game last night. I figured they were being honored during halftime or something, but I guess they just came out to support the women's team. Nice move by Coach Tressel, who was there cheering the loudest, from what we could see from the other end of the court.

OSU women clinch Big Ten title|
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - In a career of highlights, this might have been the peak for Jessica Davenport.
Davenport scored 26 points and Star Allen added 22 to help No. 5 Ohio State beat Penn State 78-61 Thursday night to clinch at least a share of its third consecutive Big Ten title.
The Buckeyes (25-2, 14-1) lead Purdue by a game heading into their regular-season finale at Michigan on Sunday.
"This ranks pretty high," Davenport said of the conference title. "We've still got a lot of work to do. We didn't want to lose on senior night. We wanted to set a standard for everyone who comes to Ohio State. We always gave everything we had."
Ashlee Trebilcock scored 17 points for the Buckeyes, who captured a piece of their 10th Big Ten title. Ohio State's seniors are 105-20 with three conference championships.
Tyra Grant scored 17 points, Kamela Gissendanner had 16 and Amanda Brown had 15 for the Nittany Lions (13-15, 6-9), who are 0-8 on the road this season and have lost six straight to the Buckeyes.

No. 5 Ohio State 72, Michigan 58

2/25/2007, 5:51 p.m. ET The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) ? When a scrambling Michigan defense put a kink in Ohio State's offensive rhythm, the Buckeyes found a dependable solution: Jessica Davenport.
The 6-foot-5 senior center scored 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in No. 5 Ohio State's 72-58 victory over the Wolverines on Sunday.
With the victory, the Buckeyes (26-2, 15-1 Big Ten) clinched their second straight outright Big Ten championship and the top seed in this weekend's league tournament in Indianapolis.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. ? The Ohio State women?s basketball team headed to the bus instead of celebrating its outright Big Ten regular-season championship yesterday afternoon in Crisler Arena.
The fifth-ranked Buckeyes (26-2, 15-1) clamped a lid on their emotions after the 72-58 victory over Michigan (10-19, 3-13). They didn?t want to pop the top until they had returned to Columbus, so they could share the moment in the locker room with injured teammate Brandie Hoskins. "She had to catch up on some academic stuff because of the surgery (on her Achilles? tendon)," coach Jim Foster said. "We didn?t want her to come up today, weather being what it was. She?ll meet us in the locker room. Then we?ll get excited."

Imagine the child at 15, seated alone for five hours in the Paris International Airport with tickets to two vastly different destinations in her hand.
One would take her where she desperately wanted to go ? home to her family in Cameroon, in western Africa. The other would carry her to the United States to begin a new life as a high school student in West Virginia.
