This was a clinic from the opening tip. OHIO ran off the 1st 9 points and never looked back. Haven’t seen a well played game like this since the Caroline Mast era. Cats played as a team for 40 minutes. Defense was tenacious. When their star Bradford had the ball up top, someone was right on her and if she drove, they collapsed on her and she was unable to find open players. She was 2 for 16 from the field, probably her worst game ever. Their coach threw a zone at OHIO and stayed with it despite the Cats shooting 39% beyond the arc. Black was on-21 points on 50% shooting. Witherspoon was solid with 8 boards and Lampkins had 9 points and 6 assists. Michigan State transfer Mariah Harris had a break out game. The game ball, IMO, goes to the whole team, starting with the coaching staff’s game plan.
Attendance was 1127 and similar to the volleyball team in that it was essentially all community members who were well engaged. Students are clueless what they have within a half mile of their home.
