The Ohio State Buckeyes had a new wrinkle in the 2022 edition of the NCAA March Madness tournament. Instead of having a week to prepare for their opponent, the Buckeyes wouldn’t know who they’d face until two days before their Saturday tip. Ohio State now knows that they’ll compete against the Missouri State Bears in the first round.
Thursday’s First Four game between Missouri and Florida was the first time the NCAA women’s tournament included an eight-team play-in round. The Seminoles and Bears played a close, physical game.
In the game, both sides went on big runs.
