The Ohio State women’s basketball team welcomed in No. 2 Iowa and star Caitlin Clark on Sunday and Value City Arena was hopping with the anticipation of a potential upset.
An upset it was, as the Buckeyes used a late surge in overtime to get by the visiting Hawkeyes by a score of 100-92. With the win, Ohio State moves to 15-3 overall and 6-1 in the conference, just 1/2 game behind both Iowa and Indiana.
It was a sold-out crowd and the environment made for some pretty amazing pictures and we pulled out some of the best ones to share with you. From start to finish, it was probably one of the best environments the Schottenstein Center has seen in quite some time.
Even better was the result. Check out the scrolling gallery.
