No. 8 Ohio State is on the road to face another former Big Ten powerhouse from last season, Indiana, which has taken a step back this year due to the loss of a key player.
Indiana (16-9) was a top-three team in the conference with 6-foot-3 center Mackenzie Holmes in the starting lineup. The three-time All-Big Ten first team player graduated and was selected by the Seattle Storm with the 26th pick (third round) in the WNBA draft.
The Buckeyes went against Iowa on Monday, a team in a similar situation after losing star Caitlin Clark. Despite the Hawkeyes being unranked, Ohio State was forced into overtime, where the Buckeyes pulled out an 86-78 victory.
