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

[Jake]

26 points at halftime, the Bucks lowest first half of the season. Down 20, this looks like another L to the Hoosiers.

I sure wish the games were called evenly. Bucks get called for physical play on both ends of the court but the opponents, especially the Hoosiers, get by with moving picks and a blocking on the boards. Not boxing out, fucking blocking. You aren't allowed to just run another player off the court.

At the same time, until the last 3 minutes of that half, the Hoosiers are getting uncontested defensive rebounds. Why the hell do all the players run down the other end when the shot goes up instead of working to get a rebound? I've seen this multiple times this year. Are they that out of shape that they can't expend the energy on that or what? There are some things I've seen out of the coaches today, or not seen, that is sticking in my craw. I wouldn't take Jacy off the court again unless she asked to rest. If Harris needs to come in sub her for Mikesell. Push the ball and harass the shit out of IU.

 

[Jake]

Indiana's just a damn good team. They've lost two games - one in OT and another on Clark's buzzer beater - both on the road.

They're that close to being undefeated.

Another wide open 3. Switching Defense for both the men and women has been devastating.

See you all after the game. Hope it's a lot better than that first half.

Just hoping to be competitive this half and stay healthy. I'd be shocked to see the Bucks come back in this one.

The girls get in trouble when a good team forces them to play a half court game. Bucks need a fast pace to be their best.

13-4 run for the Buckeyes. That's something when you only scored 26 points in the first half.

Girls showing some life to start the 3rd. 20 point deficit down to 14. Get a couple stops and they'll be right back in it. Plenty of time.

 

[buckeyeintn]

8 point game!

 

[Jake]

Hit a few bombs then got the press going. The deficit is down to 8!

 

[Jake]

Four point game!

 

[buckeyeintn]

Outstanding defense this quarter by the entire team. Cotie going coast to coast for a defensive rebound was big.

Hope they can keep IU from pulling away again. It took a lot of energy to cut down that lead.

 

[Jake]

What a shit call on Mikesell. Give 'em hell, McGuff (just don't get a T).

Down 10 after three. Still another hill to climb, but I appreciate the fight in the second half.

 

[buckeyeintn]

That should have been a no-call. Instead Mikesell gets her 4th. That's a game changer.
