The Ohio State Buckeyes women’s basketball team opened up home conference play Sunday, welcoming the Michigan State Spartans to the Schottenstein Center. After a stretch of seven days where the Scarlet & Gray won both games, but had their up and down moments, a home conference game brought a chance to get back to playing a consistent 40 minutes to go 10-0. In a game where no team put up their best performance, Ohio State pulled off their closest win of the year 74-68.
Missing for the third game in a row was guard Jacy Sheldon. After sitting out of games against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and New Hampshire Wildcats this week, with a day-to-day lower leg injury, the rest wasn’t enough to allow the point guard to take the court.
