Big Ten Women’s Basketball Bracketology: Ohio State sends a message vs. Caitlin Clark, Iowa

Ohio State:

The Ohio State Buckeyes picked up their 5th straight win—the longest streak in the Big Ten—with an upset victory over Iowa on Sunday. Sophomore forward Cotie McMahon put on a show at home in front of a program record of 18,600 fans. McMahon, who was last season's Big Ten Freshman of the Year, finished with a career-high 33 points and 12 rebounds, recording her first double-double of the season.

Jacy Sheldon scored 24 points and had 7 rebounds in the win. Sheldon, a 5th-year-player who missed 23 games due to a leg injury last season, has made a huge impact for Ohio State. She leads the Buckeyes in scoring (17.6 points per game) and is 4th overall in the Big Ten in points (317).

Illinois:

After making their way to the big dance last season—their first appearance since the 2002-2003 season—the Fighting Illini have struggled to find ways to win in 2024. Through 17 games last season, Illinois had a 14-3 record and was scoring 81.3 points per game. This year, the Fighting Illini are already under .500 at that same 17-game mark.

Tonight's game will be the 78th meeting between Ohio State and Illinois. The Buckeyes lead the series 57-20.
