The No. 17 Ohio State women's basketball team held on to defeat Michigan State, and won a share of the Big Ten title for the first time since 2018.
The Ohio State women’s basketball team had done enough before Sunday’s regular-season finale at Michigan State to secure a bye until the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. Of course, it was never going to be easy. But with a little help, they got it.
Expectations were that Ohio State was still an NCAA tournament-caliber team, but contending for a Big Ten title with the likes of Michigan, Maryland, Indiana and Iowa seemed far-fetched. However, behind the scoring of Taylor Mikesell and Jacy Sheldon, the leadership of Braxtin Miller, and growth of Rikki Harris and freshman Taylor Thierry, Ohio State claimed its first conference title since 2018.
Ohio State led by as much as 50-43 with 7:16 to go, but didn't make another shot until 3:21 remained when Tanaya Beacham finished a layup to put the Buckeyes back up 52-51. Sheldon made one free throw and missed the second, but Thierry was there again for an offensive rebound and was fouled. Thierry made both free throws for a 59-54 lead with 31.6 seconds left.
