The Buckeyes now await their NCAA tournament fate after losing three of their last four.
If there was any question as to who the heart and soul of Ohio State women's basketball team is, it was answered resoundingly on Saturday at the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis. With senior Ameryst Alston barely able to play, the Buckeyes were trounced by Michigan State, 82-63, in a game that was essentially over by halftime.
Spartan juniors Aerial Powers and Tori Jankoska combined to score 54 points in the game, while Ohio State sophomore Kelsey Mitchell was limited to 20, half of which came from the free throw line, without her chief running mate.
