Stifler's Grandma got some home cooking with those officials down the stretch. Just some awful calls. But Bucks survive.

Sweet 16 !

Go Bucks!

Yea, some of those calls and no-calls were pretty mind boggling.  The announcers didn't seem very interested in pointing it out, either.

Make's it even sweeter, though.

The pain in the announcer's southern drawl was evident and thoroughly enjoyable!

Ridiculous calls. Dribbled off a foot but that wasn't a kick. A charge when the woman was still moving into her. A crazy last 5 minutes where helter skelter was an understatement.

Survive and advance!

A few too many side to side passes in the backcourt against the press. Need to use the diagonal pass to help break the press.

Great to win on opposing teams' floor.  OH-  Lady Bucks!

Refs were horrible in the second half but the Lady Bucks pushed through! Great win in a hostile environment! GO BUCKS!

The Buckeyes pulled off an upset in the women's tournament instead of being an upset victim. This may be a sign of the end times,

Seriously though, great win. Of course, I'd say that about any team that knocked out Kim Mulkey, easily the most annoying person in the women's game.

Really fun game to watch! Incredible job. Well played. Can't wait to watch the game against Texas!

Jacy Sheldon is a beast, I love watching her play! Congrats Lady Bucks!

HS

She is a force to be reckoned with. Relentless. Ferocious. She looked like she could play 8 quarters at full speed.

Fun to watch.

A fantastic first step! Also a very good passer with the ability to change defenders position up top to get lanes! Her only true issue is once she starts driving she is going so hard any pass attempt come off poorly! 

The ability of the team to switch from half-court basketball with their formidable post and 3 point shooting to run the lanes and score if incredibly fun to watch!!!

She is svelte and cute for a beast, and seems to keep running like the EverReady bunny, and that's a nice manicure too.

Her little down's syndrome sister is fun too.

Actually what is creepy is these female athletes making money off NIL not on their sport, but on their bodies. Exhibit A. The twins who play bball for Fresno State. They are not getting NIL money for their notoriety on the court. At least Sheldon is great at her craft and a well deserved All-American.

I was curious and looked it up, and tbf to them they average like 20 points and 15 points so at least they are good at basketball too.

So pumped they won AT LSU!  And it was great to see that with ten seconds left and a huge lead and LSU backing off the ESecPN announcers finally figured out "well, credit to these Buckeyes.  They've come in here and played a great game."  #brilliantAnalysis  They were practically crying that LSU couldn't come back and win it.  #losers

And the announcers wouldn't say anything about the awful officiating. Need more announcers like Jay Bilas who aren't afraid to call that out.

Pretty physical game, but the Lady Buckeyes stayed tough.  Wonder for which team Joe Burrow was rooting (I mean it looked like a football game at times).

It was enjoyable, how physical several of our players were!

Great win but have to say I was screaming at McGuff for calling off the full court press. LSU was struggling to get into an offense fighting the press then he calls it off at the 8 minute mark. LSU then goes on a run that made the game at the 3 minute mark much closer than it should have been. And the officials, well, they sucked. Called a completely different game in the second half. Even some of the calls against LSU were head scratchers.

On to the Sweet 16 and Texas!

I got no issue calling off the full court press to keep from risking fouls and quick buckets, but should have played some sort of zone since LSU is a horrendous 3 point shooting team.

HS
acBuckeye's picture

Agree with all points. LSU couldn't handle the backcourt pressure. Even when it didn't force a turnover, it didn't let LSU ever get comfortable. It would be nice if our other bball coach could figure that out.

Great to see the Lady Bucks committed to playing tough defense. That had been an issue for many years.  There is no reason why OSU shouldn’t be a top ten program in women’s hoops.  Just need to find a way to keep the great Ohio talent home.  Go Bucks!

HS
Trebor40's picture

YES!!!

There are outstanding women's players in the state of Ohio! Fortunate to catch several of the high school elite 8 and final matches! Listening commentators listing the schools they are going to was a bit frustrating!!!

Congrats on the win. I didn't see this one coming especially in a hostile environment against the higher seed in their building. A well played game by the Buckeyes, knocking down ten (10) 3-pointers...just need to do a better job of breaking the press at the end to seal the deal and put the game out of reach sooner.

HS

These ladies handled the press extremely well, pushing the ball up court with a logistical preciseness.

Great game Ladies!

Just terrible officiating. Clearly letting LSU get away with some terrible fouls and calling ridiculous fouls on OSU. So blatant and announcers said nothing. This needs to be sent to the league. 

HS

So many bad ones but my favorite was the obvious kicked ball that lead to an LSU score!

I hope our ladies shook the hands of the Tigers. When the broadcast cut away they were still celebrating and it was a decent bit of time after the whistle.

HS

They do not do a handshake line for womens basketball this year for some reason. Did not do a line in the Missouri State game. Coaches might do what we saw tonight or a wave across to each other.

Maybe decided after the Juwan Howard thing that it is best to keep them separate!

I'll be honest, I haven't watched a womens bball game in quite some time. I was very impressed by the pace of play. Maybe it was just this game in particular but man-o-man, bucket, inbound pass, up the court they went. Exciting to watch. It helped that the LadyBucks were kicking butt and draining 3s. The SEC was at play down the stretch with some of those calls/non-calls, for sure.

My first time watching the lady bucks in a few years.. i was soo impressed! To be able to go into a hostile environment where the officiating wasnt on your side. Against a physical team at that.. veryyy impressed!! I could give praise to every lady who touched the court so i wont do that but the energy, will and determination of this team was impressive! Ill be sure to watch every game they play going forward. Theyve made a fan out of me!!

HS
Buckeye24's picture

I watched the game and was commenting on the open thread as well - but I hope Buckeye fans of the mens basketball team as well took a hard look at what guard play really looks like because that has been missing with the mens team - the point guard (Sheldon) was outstanding! Along with the other guard the shooter -Mikesell- what a pair. Then the big girl the center - Mikulasikova - stepping out and hitting those 3’s, handling the ball - all that is exactly what Holtmann doesn’t have on the mens team!!!!!

Chris Holtman should hire Jacy Shelton as the team's foul shooting coach.

Congratulations Ladies ! I hope good luck is your Copilot as you continue to impress us all with your sensational play. Each additional win is something the men's team can only dream about. You're actually doing it and with great style. Go Buckeye's ! You make us proud.

Winning while committing 20 turnovers and allowing 13 steals is impressive. 33 lost scoring possessions should be a bit concerning. Hope they get that under control before Texas game.

Shame on Eleven Warriors editors for relegating the Buckeye ladies making the Sweet Sixteen to the #13th story on the list.

It should be the top story at the moment!
