At the end of a high scoring affair, it was a defensive play locked-up the victory for the Buckeyes.
Senior Cait Craft took what ended up being a game-sealing charge on a pivotal Michigan State possession – shades of her older brother. Down 81-80, the Spartans had the ball with just over 30 seconds left to play, looking for the go-ahead bucket. They did not find it; Craft took the charge, the Buckeyes got the ball and after a few free throws, the 85-80 win.
The high score wouldn't indicate it, but Ohio State struggled mightily behind the arc.
