OSU Women's basketball drops 66-65 Heartbreaker to Illini in Champaign

The Ohio State Women's basketball squad was edged by Illinois 66-65 Thursday night in Champaign, Illinois. Tayler Hill, who tallied 20 points in the contest, scored with a driving right handed layup with 19 seconds to go. The Illini's Alexis Moore would counter Hill's bucket with a score of her own with three seconds left in the game. Ohio State Head Coach Jim Foster tried to call a timeout after the score by Moore, but none of the referees saw him as the clock ran out, resulting in an upset of the 10th ranked Buckeyes. The loss drops the Buckeyes to 21-3 overall this season and 8-3 in Big Ten Play.
