Before the tip of Monday night’s second-round game of the NCAA Tournament, Ohio State Buckeyes guard Rikki Harris was waiting for the tip. Harris was rubbing her hands together and chirping at LSU’s point guard Khayla Pointer. Land-Grant Holy Land doesn’t know what Harris said, but the guard, along with the rest of the Buckeyes, played an inspired 40-minutes, beating LSU 79-64.
The first quarter started, shooting-wise, like the Buckeyes’ first-round game. Ohio State shot 4-for-13 to start the game. Fortunately for the Scarlet and Gray, their defense held LSU to 3-for-9 shooting.
The story a the start of the game was turnovers.
