Ohio State defeats Michigan for the third time this season, 81-79, and advances to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, where the Buckeyes will face top-seeded Indiana.
While Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff opted to keep Mikulasikova on the bench until the second half in favor of Eboni Walker, he allowed Harris to stay on the floor and play through her foul trouble. McGuff's decision paid off for the Buckeyes, as Harris started to heat up as the quarter continued, making a 3-pointer and collecting three defensive rebounds that eventually turned into points for her teammates.
Thierry paced Ohio State with eight points on 3-of-4 shooting in the second frame with a 2-of-2 mark from the free throw line. She also collected two assists and an offensive rebound. Mikesell and McMahon combined to contribute seven points for the Buckeyes in the quarter. Michigan managed to keep the Centerville, Ohio, native at bay for a few minutes after that bucket. Still, McMahon emerged with force as the quarter neared its end, converting two layups with swift spin moves inside the paint – the second for an old-school three-point play. McMahon finished the quarter with eight points, five rebounds and one assist.
The third quarter was the best for the Wolverines, which connected on eight of their 18 shots and six of their eight free throws to cut the Ohio State lead to four points, 65-61, as the teams entered the final quarter.Ohio State and Michigan traded several blows in the final quarter, which made for an entertaining last 10 minutes in Minneapolis.
