Game Analysis
The Buckeyes bring back four starters from last season, only losing Chance Gray, their 5'9" guard who averaged 14.3 PPG.
Back is 5'7" junior Jaloni Cambridge. Seems like yesterday she was a superstar freshman. She is leading the team in scoring at 20.7 PPG. A solid 35.7% from deep. She does it all as she leads the team in assist at 6 per game. She scored 17 points against UConn last year but was 0-4 on threes. And she only had 1 assists and 7 turnovers. Not a good game for her.
Her sister, 5'9" senior guard Kennedy Cambridge, also returns. This year she is averaging 12.3 PPG and 6.7 RPG so far this season. Against UConn last year she had 10 points going 3-4 on threes.
Elsa Lemmila, their 6'6" junior center from Finland, returns and is the big in the middle. She is the second leading scorer on the team at 16.3 PPG and 9 RPG leads the team. She also has 8 blocks in 3 games. Amazingly, she is 18-19 from the field. That's 95% of her shots!! Against UConn last year she had 2 points and 4 turnovers and only 1 block.
Kylee Kitts is the fourth returning starter. The 6'4" sophomore forward adds more size to the starting lineup. She is averaging 8 PPG and 8.3 RPG so far this season. Against UConn last year, she scored 9 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Ava Watson, a 5'8" junior guard moves from the bench to the starting lineup. She is averaging 11.7 PPG, 2.7 RPG and 3 APG. Against UConn last year she came off the bench to score 7 points on a perfect shooting game. 2-2 from the field, 1-1 on threes and 2-2 from the foul line.
Sydney Mobley comes off the bench for the Buckeyes. The 6'2" freshman forward is the third leading scorer at 13.
This game will be decided on who can impose their style of play on the other team. Ohio State will press and try to force UConn to turn the ball over for easy buckets. The Huskies advantage is that they can play multiple ways, scoring inside and outside with their excellent three point shooting.
UConn has been pressing on their own with their depth. Yes, not 13 deep but enough to press hard. UConn has played two ranked teams while Ohio State has played three cupcakes. It will be like a freezing icebath when UConn's defense puts the clamps on Ohio State.
Last year UConn beat Ohio State 100-68. That's a big fat 32 point win. This year at home with so many returning players, I would expect it to be at least half of that margin.
