Looking forward to watching the Lady Buckeyes on a finally televised game.  They are talented and mentally tough.  Their conditioning wears down their opponent by the end of the 3rd quarter.  They finish as the dominant team in the 4th quarter in every game this year. 

Our people are everywhere, Esto Dignus.

Glad Gene Smith didn't listen to me and terminate the coach. The lady bucks had zero defensive scheme, zero offensive scheme, and didn't recruit the top players in Ohio just two seasons ago. Now coach has a plan on O n D and has recruited well. Hats off to him for the change.

Really wish their schedule was added to the site. The team is so much more athletic now. Just watched @ Nebraska yesterday.

I use espn for their schedule. I just save the link in my browser toolbar under osu sports. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/team/_/id/194/ohio-state-...

My aim, then, is to whip the Weasels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.   - William Tecumseh Sherman (with apologies)

When is Jacy coming back, anybody know? Rikki is obviously really good and filling in nicely, but Sheldon is the best defender OSU has ever had on the mens or womens teams. OSU should be a #1 seed, but with Jacy, OSU is a serious title contender.

She’s still considered day-to-day. According to the BTN broadcast yesterday, she is getting closer to returning but Ohio State is being cautious not to bring her back too quickly so that she can be healthy for the stretch run.

From the coaches to the players, the Ohio State Women’s Basketball Team are the new standard-bearers for their university's athletic program!

GO LADYBUCKS!

I've been waiting for some love for these ladies on here. They play with passion and determination which wears down teams. Excited to see them again.

Sure would be nice if they televised their games. Every men's game is televised, and they suck this year. There needs to be equality in sports too.

Yeah, well clearly the women could bring in the money, if they pushed their athletics as much as they do for the men.

Think so? Doubt it. NBA v WNBA... osu mbb v osu wbb attendance alone says men generate more $$$

Yes, by attendance MBB generates more $$ but you can't deny that marketing differences do make a difference in getting fans in the seats. Take a look at marketing budgets for men's and women's sports (in general, not just at OSU). Some fans won't attend a women's event even if the "product" on the floor is better and nothing will change their minds but good marketing in the community will draw in a lot more fans.

I'll just say go look at ticket prices between the 2 teams.
I agree the women need better advertisement but I don't think year in, year out that even with better exposure they would draw the same numbers/revenue as the men. This year the women certainly deserve better support, we'll see if the student body alone will support them as much if not more than the men.
Good chat. Go Bucks! Ladies & Men!

"Rebeka Mikulasikova led the Buckeyes to victory with 25 points and seven rebounds."

OSU gave up 21 offensive rebounds and turned the ball over almost twice the rate of Nebraska. It's a dam miracle they keep winning.........You play like that in the NCAA you will get bounced out in the first round......much to work on......

There's no question they are a poor rebounding team and they're much better than they've been in the past. They finally have some forwards with athleticism. 

Next needed upgrade, athletic center
