Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

[ScriptOhio]

Wednesday’s game is hard to call. Greene and Sheldon being out makes this game look like it could be hard to choose the Buckeyes to win, but there is some solace from recent close games.

Ohio State won with insurmountable odds on Tuesday, with ESPN result predictions putting USF at near 100% chance to win in the final minute of overtime. That doesn’t sound great, but considering Mikesell only scored eight points — six in overtime — paints a different picture.

For the Buckeyes to win, their shooters need to hit their shots. That means Mikesell and forward Rebeka Mikulášiková (who scored only two points against USF). Ohio State will need to score closer to their average against Oregon.

The motivation, and even more with losing a teammate to injury, should have the Scarlet & Gray come out firing. If not, a comeback against these Ducks will be a steeper hill to climb than Tuesday.

LGHL Prediction: 85-80 Oregon Ducks

Damn that's rough to deal with. No point guards except for young ones and probably Rikki Harris tonight. 2022 and the injuries can go fuck itself

 

[buckeyeintn]

Looks like Rikki Harris gets the start at PG tonight. Hope Madison can come back quickly.

Lady Bucks up 25-23 over Oregon after the 1st period. Mikesell with 10, Mikulasikova with 9. Need someone else to step up on the offensive end.

 

[buckeyeintn]

Tremendous 2nd quarter, now lead 54-37 at the half. Mikesell with 17, Mikulasikova with 12, Thierry with 12.
Keep the pressure on ladies!
GO BUCKS!

 

[buckeyeintn]

The bad news? The Ladies did not score in the last 7:18 of the third quarter. The good news? They're still up by 10, 59-49.
Hopefully they got that out of their system and can pull away in the 4th.
GO BUCKS!!

Back to their herky Jerky ways. They can go on a run on anyone but if that D isn't working they sometimes struggle mightily to score

 

[Bestbuck36]

How is this game not televised?

The impact of missing Sheldon and Greene is noticeable. That's 27 ppg out of the line up.

Because the world needed to see Sparty battle Oakland?

 

[Jake]

The Ducks are fucked. Impressive win for the Buckeyes, especially given the missing players.

 

[Bestbuck36]

It's like they needed to rest in the third quarter and just went back to dominating in the fourth. I love this freaking team

 

[buckeyeintn]

And the ladies do finish with a strong 4th, 84-67.
27 ppg out of the lineup along with leadership, ballhandling, and defense. And they still take down a top 20 team by 17. That's pretty good, isn't it?

 

[Bestbuck36]

The impact of missing Sheldon and Greene is noticeable. That's 27 ppg out of the line up.

Not to mention the leadership and defense that always sparks us. If the ladies can make it through this gap unscathed until they return, we could be looking at an all timer
