After a two-game losing streak, Northwestern women's basketball (12-4, 1-3 Big Ten) hosts No. 5 Ohio State (12-3, 4-0 Big Ten) on Thursday. The Wildcats were blown out by No. 18 Michigan State over the weekend and lost at home to Purdue last Thursday. Ohio State is coming in with an eight game winning streak and victories over No. 8 Maryland, Rutgers and Indiana.
"We're pissed," said junior Christen Inman. "It's not the way we wanted to start Big Ten play."
The Buckeyes are rightly considered one of the best teams in the nation. Sophomore Kelsey Mitchell is second in the country in scoring, averaging 25.
