It appears Sheldon is practically there as far as seeing the court but they want to make sure because they want her for the stretch run and the tourney. One can really see what confidence and inspired play means in watching the lady buckeyes in contrast to the lack of either with the men.
Exactly. Which makes me wonder if she'll be back on the floor, even for limited minutes, tonight.
The next two games are huge, especially next Monday's game at home against Iowa. This will be arguably the biggest game in McGuff's tenure as a coach so far, especially since these two teams only meet once this year and it's in Columbus. And most assuredly this will be the biggest two-game stretch for Ohio State in many years -- facing two top ten teams back-to-back with the second on the road.
It will have historic implications for Ohio State, as well as the very practical one of giving OSU a bit of breathing room in the Big Ten title chase. And if they can somehow win the next three, they would be very much in control of the league race since both Iowa and IU trail leader Ohio State by only 1 game.
Especially if Sheldon is healthy and back on the floor.
Having your top 3 scorers back, adding an absolute stud in McMahon, and having a super Soph like Thierry absolutely explode....is what changed. The loss of Sheldon has been tempered by the schedule. Here's to hoping she's back next week and through the end of the season. They cannot get to the Final Four without her, and they must avoid being a 2 seed at all costs.
Iowa and Indiana will be very strong tests for the Buckeyes. If Sheldon can get back on the floor, it will be a huge lift for the team.
Fabulous / Amazing Basketball IS being played in the state of Ohio. No men are involved though. Lucky to have the Lady Buckeyes on Big ten network. That's quality Buckeyes Basketball. Well done ladies. We are quality and we are very proud !
I was very excited to see an article on the lady buckeyes! This is the first time I've ever gotten my daughter to read something on 11W. I love the defense on this team. They are exciting to watch and will only get better with Sheldon back.
I too love watching the Lady Buckeyes. What a season so far!
Watch and compare the difference of play in half court. the men dribble too much and seem lt know a lot about passing (hesitation,hesitation) poor shot selection. Versus the women get the ball down court fast and pass like they know a thing or two! Its a pleasure to watch the women move the ball and every game i have seen the men play its an agony trip for me. They backups play more inspired imho.I will say that I do believe this mens team has more individual talent than we have seen but every one should not try to be one and done. I love what Bryce S. brings but he wont make an NBA roster for another seasons experience yet..

Glad to see the women doing well. Such a stark contrast in performance from the mens squad.

I was just about to say this. Great to see the women kicking ass and taking names. Even with one of their best players on the bench injured!
GO BUCKS!

GO BUCKS!

I had not heard until now that Jacy Sheldon was almost ready to come back. She is a killer, an Iverson with her speed and energy.
Chris Holtmann ought to take the boys over to the women's practice and let them see how it's done.

Prudent strategy, but she will need a game or two to knock the rust off...but when she does, look out
Faster, tougher, and more violent...

I rewatched the game, and Jacy Sheldon was NOT wearing the walking boot. I would not be surprised to see her against Iowa.
And to think just a couple years ago some wanted to get rid of McGuff
What changed? Winning?
it'll cure what ails ya'

Im pretty sure the key to winning is scoring more than the other team.
Holtmann, "Got anymore of them scoring plays?"

Buckeyes now 19-0 with a 30-point win over Northwestern 84-54.
Next up: a huge clash with No. 10 Iowa on Monday night in Columbus.
Great to see some love for this incredible team. Thanks for the article, Dan!
