On Friday night, the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the University of Texas Longhorns in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Sweet Sixteen; the Big Ten regular-season co-champions against the Big 12 Tournament champions. Ohio State is in their first Sweet Sixteen since 2017, and Texas is hoping to reach the Elite Eight for the second straight tournament.
Before the first jump, prepare yourself for the game with three storylines to watch. On paper it looks like a defense vs. offense matchup, but it goes much deeper.
Texas’ Press
The Buckeyes are known for a 2-2-1 press, where a pair of players rush opponents, try to anticipate passes and force turnovers.
