The Lady Bears took home the Gulf Coast Showcase with an 85-68 victory over the eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday.
“Hey, they’ve got a really good basketball team. Credit to them,” said Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff after the game. “We didn’t have our best day in large part due to them. I thought we played hard, but we just didn’t execute well enough.”
The Lady Bears led the game from start to finish and used a big second quarter, where they outscored the Buckeyes 19-10, to build a 13-point advantage heading into intermission.
