The No. 5 Ohio State women's basketball team opens its season at home in historic St. John Arena against No. 10 Stanford on Friday night.
Coming off a 28-7 season where they won their first Big Ten title since 2011 and reached the Sweet 16 for the second-straight time for the first time since in over 25 years, the Buckeyes enter the 2017-18 season with Final Four hopes.
Ohio State boasts a roster full of eight upperclassmen, led by one of the most prolific scorers in the nation in Kelsey Mitchell as well as just the third player in school history to average a double-double as a Buckeye in Stephanie Mavunga.
