For the second consecutive season, the Ohio State women’s basketball team had its season ended in the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16. The Buckeyes fell to their region’s top seed, Notre Dame, 99-76, on Friday night at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
Ohio State’s drought of advancing beyond the Sweet 16 will continue another year. The last time the program went further was in 1993, when the scarlet and gray lost in the tournament championship game to Texas Tech.
The Irish, without All-American Brianna Turner who tore her ACL in the team’s last game, was electric from the three-point line, making 12 from deep in the game.
