Thankfully for the Buckeyes, there aren't any road games in the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. Ohio State closed out its regular season with a 71-57 loss at Nebraska Sunday, their fifth loss in eight tries on the road in conference play.
Ohio State was paced by Samantha Prahalis' 18 points and Tayler Hill's 16, however they needed 19 and 15 shots respectively to reach their totals, shooting a combined 8-34, good for only 24% from the field. The lack of a consistent third scoring option doomed the Buckeyes, as it has in many of their losses. No other Buckeye reached double figures, and Amber Stokes' 8 points was the highest tertiary production.
Nebraska's Emily Cady posed problems for Ohio State all afternoon, finishing with 24 points, on 9-16 shooting.
The loss didn't hurt OSU in the standings, as they already clinched the No. 2 seed in this weekend's Big Ten Tournament. Their first game is Friday, at 11:30 a.m. and will be against the winner of the Michigan/Illinois game from Thursday.
