🏆 We are the champions
OSU women’s basketball wins 2024 Big Ten Conference

The Buckeyes women’s basketball team won the Big Ten Conference outright on Wednesday evening with a 67-51 victory against Michigan. Fifth-year senior guard Jacy Sheldon led the way with a game-high 22 points. Remember that O-H chant? It came from her little sister.
Ohio State still has one game left of the regular season — a road trip to Iowa to face the Hawkeyes, who they previously defeated at home. Non-general admission tickets are going for nearly $500, and ESPN’s College GameDay will be on-site for the faceoff. However, despite the spotlight surrounding this game, the outcome of this won’t affect OSU’s Big Ten champion status.
Given the No. 2 national ranking for the Bucks, it’s highly likely that the first round of the NCAA tournament will be played at the Schottenstein Center.
