No. 8 Ohio State is scheduled to face two of their most challenging Big Ten opponents back-to-back in Los Angeles, starting with No. 1 UCLA Wednesday.
UCLA is undefeated in its first season as a Big Ten member and is the only undefeated team in the AP top 25. Key victories for the Bruins have come against South Carolina and Maryland.
Buckeyes guard/forward Taylor Thierry has long had her eye on this week and its tip offs against UCLA and No. 7 USC.
“They’re great teams,” she said. “They have great players. I know with UCLA, they have Lauren Betts, so she’s a huge asset for that team.”
Standing at 6-foot-7, Betts lead UCLA in points (20.2) and rebounds (9.7).
Ohio State has recent experience against Betts and the Bruins, falling to UCLA 77-71 last season during a non-conference matchup.
