Ameryst Alston, Cait Craft and redshirt junior Kalpana Beach were honored on Sunday afternoon on senior day, and they went home big winners as Ohio State sent its seniors out with a bang, trouncing Illinois 117-74.
Illinois started as hot as possible. The Illini drained 9 of their first 10 shots and shot 2-for-2 from three-point range. Any other day that would have made it close – but not today.
If Illinois was hot, Ohio State was on fire.
The Buckeyes opened 10-for-11 from the field and 6-for-6 from three-point range, and they never quite cooled down.
