Ohio State Women open NCAA Tournament play against Maine

Let the Madness begin. #GoBucks

The Ohio State Women’s basketball team had a somewhat disappointing end to the season. Everyone knew it was going to be difficult to get out of Iowa with a win being Caitlin Clark’s final regular season home game. However, not many expected the Buckeyes to lay an egg against Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament.

Because of the late season falter, Ohio State dropped from a presumptive No. 1 seed to the No. 2 line. While that may not have been exactly what Big Ten regular season champs were looking for, it’s still good enough to host the opening weekend of the women’s tournament.

Kevin McGuff’s team will do just that on Friday at Noon when they welcome the No. 15 seed Maine Black Bears to Value City Arena. Maine is 24-9 on the season and winner of the American East Conference Tournament. Should Ohio State get the win, it will face the winner of Duke and Richmond on Sunday.
