Women's basketball: Buckeyes take the initiative
Physical play helps OSU gain revenge

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Andrea Kjerrumgaard dispatch
Tamarah Riley of Ohio State tries to work around Minnesota defender Zoe Harper.
For several seasons, Minnesota has set the tone for physical play in Big Ten women's basketball.
The Gophers (15-8, 6-5) tend to view opponents like tomato cans in the path of a steamroller and begin to move forward as soon as they put the machine in gear.
So when Ohio State (17-5, 8-3) yesterday declined a second flattening at Minnesota's hands in 10 days, a not-so-happy Gophers coach Pam Borton was left to sift through the pieces of a 76-62 loss in Value City Arena.
"We pride ourselves in being a physical and aggressive team with an attacking mentality," she said. "I thought that (Ohio State) took it right to us and played our game. The more physical and aggressive team won."
To remain in a first-place tie with Purdue and Iowa in the conference standings, the 19th-ranked Buckeyes overcame a 41-25 rebounding disadvantage and 5-of-13 shooting from the free throw line.

OSU women's basketball: Seniors' moment on road
Foster looks for Buckeyes with most experience to play key role in away games

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Hunger, at least the lean, athletic kind, apparently has an element of geography attached to it. Ohio State women's basketball coach Jim Foster didn't even listen for any stomach rumbles Sunday while the Buckeyes were dispatching Big Ten rival Minnesota in Value City Arena.
Instead, he cast a challenge as bare as a soup bone in the direction of senior starters Marscilla Packer and Tamarah Riley.
"Seniors are about the road," Foster said. "They determine your success on the road. They set the table for your team. And our hunger has to manifest itself there. It's real easy in your own bed."

We still get Purdue at home, but that one hurt. I'm not quite sure what's going on with the team - very different lineups being played, Packer not in during crunch time until the very end...strange.
