Whether that's because the game was never in question or if she felt something was off, we don't know. McGuff repeatedly said they didn't want to bring her back until she could go 100% because they wanted her back for good. Her not playing since that game isn't great. I was at the Indiana game and she wasn't even putting shots up during warm-ups. So, who knows what's going on. As for Mikulasikova, she tweaked her ankle against Minnesota and was a game day decision I believe. I say this genuinely, but I think Walker is a tougher matchup for Holmes. She's stronger and can keep her further from the basket, but Walker hasn't played so many minutes in the year so she got gassed because Holmes is craft and quick. Last game against IU, Mikulasikova played 17 minutes and was a non-factor. 1/6, 2rbs, 1 ast, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 3 fouls. Holmes shot 11/13 that game. That was also Scalia's best shooting night all season, because of course it was. Hadn't made more than 4 3's in a game this season then goes 6/8 from three. OSU played off her but then never adjusted, but that's exactly what you want from your shooter. Not to doom and gloom, but at this point, if Jacy's not back by this next game, does she even return? OSU has three regular season games left, currently sits 5th in the standings, could easily finish anywhere from 7th to 4th. If they aren't a 4 seed for the Big Ten Tournament, and win they would have potentially 3 games back-to-back. Not ideal for someone returning from injury and not fully in game shape. Then is there enough time before the tournament to get her back in the chemistry and game play with the team? Probably, but again we don't know what the injury is and the tournament opening weekend being two games in three days can be tough for someone dealing with a lingering, long-term injury. [/QUOTE]
