Women’s Basketball

Hello, Sweet 16  Columbus Dispatch – "It's been very good. It was a good, solid crowd; the Nationwide Arena crew did a great job, and the Ohio State staff has been on top of everything." – Rick Nixon, NCAA tournament rep

Made-over Buckeyes now flashier under Foster Jackson Clarion Ledger - "They are an athletic team up and down the floor," MSU coach Sharon Fanning said. "I don't think you can find a point guard anywhere in the country that can push it and find people any better than (Prahalis)."

Making some noise

Big Ten Network - Big Ten champion Ohio State advanced to its first Sweet 16 since 2005 with a close win over Mississippi State, while Purdue is also headed to the regional semifinals after upsetting North Carolina on Monday night.

Even in wake of past upsets, Foster, Buckeyes coolly go about business Columbus Dispatch – "It's a way to keep your mind off things. Really, that's why we play sports. We're a diversion from reality." – Jim Foster.

OSU's pressure gets to MSU late Columbus Dispatch – The game was a full-court, full-speed encounter between two fast, athletic teams. In the end, the Buckeyes proved a tick faster

Defense down the stretch helps Ohio State women end their NCAA slump, reach Sweet 16  Cleveland Plain Dealer  COLUMBUS -- Point guard Sammy Prahalis jumped in the air, center Jantel Lavender caught her and that, Ohio State, is what you do when you've made the Sweet 16.

Four things Doug Lesmerises thinks about the NCAA Women's Tournament Cleveland Plain Dealer  1. I told Ohio State women's coach Jim Foster recently that B.J. Mullens should come to his practices to watch Jantel Lavender in action. He said a lot of the men's players actually stop by on a regular basis, and his players watch the men practice, too. He said they all appreciate good basketball. So, reminder to the men, more women's practices to watch this week.
