Two of Ohio State’s losses came to UCLA. If they meet their kryptonite again, which Ohio State can do later in the tournament, it’s hard to take the same talented team down 3 times.
The best team in the Birmingham Region 3 is Texas, who lost by 19 to South Carolina. Ohio State has the excellent opportunity to knock them out in the Sweet Sixteen, basically a cakewalk.
Cotie McMahon has multiple years of tournament experience. The leading scorer of the Buckeyes, with 16.6 points per game, has made it as far as the Elite Eight in her freshman year, and, well, considering she was knocked out in the round of 32 last year, the third time the charm.
The supporting cast duo of Jaloni Cambridge and Chance Gray is a hard duo to stop, let alone McMahon. Their playmaking, defensive presence and leadership create a well-run machine that will not be stopped easily.
Ohio State legend Katie Smith is on the coaching staff. She will tell them to win, and they will. She has that type of power, simple as that.
