The Ohio State women’s basketball team had a task in front of them Saturday: Move beyond the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in 30 years. Oh yeah, and against the winningest team in the history of NCAA women’s basketball, the UConn Huskies.
Ohio State pulled off the unimaginable, stopping the UConn’s 15-straight Final Four run two games short, beating the Huskies 73-61 in impressive fashion. Ohio State never lost a lead after going ahead in the second quarter.
Saturday’s game began as the bettors and majority of the public expected, with the Huskies starting off strong.
