Early Ohio State / KY matchup pretty interesting. Looks like Kelsey Mitchell's cold streak is over. She is exciting to watch. Linnae Harper (OSU) who had transferred from KY playing real well including one no look behind her back pass that was Crystal like. Scire OSU 20-16 end of Q1

 

[Bernie]

Blows my mind that Kelsey Mitchell doesn't get called for more carry violations. Akhator and Rice are getting mauled in the paint

 

[ASweet3781]

Well, it appears Maryland lost to 2 pretty good teams this year.

 

[LETTERL]

Before the bracket was announced, I had a fear that NCState might be sent to Columbus; I wanted no part of Kelsey Mitchell in front of a home crowd. Today, we are seeing the Kelsey Mitchell who can be a terrifying force.

 

[eebmg]

What is the deal with Epps. Her body language says she is 60 years old.

 

[LETTERL]

Ohio State leads Kentucky, 46-31 at the half. Kelsey Mitchell with 19 points.

 

[LETTERL]

Nice preview of the 2:30 slate of games: no mention of the NCState/Texas matchup.

 

[Zanzman]

Maybe they don't think it's much of a match up

 

[LETTERL]

6-0 run for Kentucky.

 

[eebmg]

6-0 run for Kentucky.

Epps took some vitamins.

This tOSU/Ky game is up and down. I'm super surprised that Kentucky is even where they are. Not this game but a 4 seed, hosting, top of SEC. this team was decimated by departures. Players and coaches both. I think what they have accomplished has been impressive.

 

[stwainfan]

ND should beat either of these teams.

 

[Plebe]

ND should beat either of these teams.

ND has been gifted the easiest possible path to the national championship game. No Baylor, no Maryland, no UConn.

I was just thinking, if you'd told me in the preseason that OSU and Kentucky would be playing in the 2nd round, I would've thought maybe OSU might be a #2 or #3 seed and Kentucky a #6 or #7. Kentucky has exceeded expectations and OSU, aside from its win over Maryland, has disappointed.

 

[LETTERL]

Kentucky within 3 now...61-58. Timeout Ohio State. 8:55 left.

Absolutely amazing isn't it?

Quite the comeback by Kentucky. Ohio State is reeling. Akhator having just a monster game on the boards, like 21 rebounds now or something like that.

 

[eebmg]

KY down only 3 61-58. Turning into a fun shot making game even if neither team looks to be a realistic FF challenger.

 

[LETTERL]

Kentucky creeps closer...65-64.

 

[ASweet3781]

Such undisciplined basketball by both teams. Especially Kentucky failing to get Epps shots down the stretch here.

 

[LETTERL]

8-0 run by Ohio State. It's slipping away from Kentucky.

 

[eebmg]

OSU taking over when Mitchell goes cold. Linnae Harper really carrying team putting the knife into KY's back

 

[Plebe]

8-0 run by Ohio State. It's slipping away from Kentucky.

Ohio State really pulled it together. Linnae Harper has made some really key plays. Kentucky has gone cold, missing several 3's in a row after making some to get back in the game.

 

[Bernie]

Anybody know Dunn's official title with Kentucky?
