Things were looking grim for the Buckeyes after having lost their last three games, but a little change of scenery made a big difference.
The Buckeyes went just down High Street to play in their first ever regular season game in Nationwide arena, and didn't disappoint as the fans were treated to a rout of the Boilermakers, the team they beat to in the Big 10 tournament championship last year. Ohio State did most of their damage in the latter part of the first half to go into halftime up 17 thanks in part to a buzzer beating three by Brittany Johnson. The Buckeyes were led by Jantel Lavender (21pts 9reb 3ast) and Samantha Prahalis (12pts 12ast 2reb) as they worked the pick and roll to perfection. Brittany Johnson connected on five of six three pointers and finished with 17 points.
The win pushes Ohio State's record to (14-9, 5-6). Ohio State has five more games left before the Big Ten tournament and needs to win the majority of them, if they hope to be safely in the tournament field this March.
