WOMENS HOOPS: 6TH RANKED BUCKEYES TRY TO CONTINUE BIG TEN DOMINANCE IN EAST LANSING AGAINST THE SPARTANS THIS AFTERNOON

TIME: 2PM EASTERN WHERE: BRESLIN CENTER. EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN TV: CBS MATCHUP TO WATCH: ALLYSSA DEHAAN/LAUREN AITCH VERSUS JANTEL LAVENDER NO ONE IN THE BIG TEN DISPUTES THAT OHIO STATE AS IN FOOTBALL IS THE DOMINANT TEAM IN THIS LEAGUE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MATCHUP THAT IS ALWAYS A COIN FLIP. MICHIGAN STATE WILL BE AT HOME IN FRONT OF THE LARGEST CROWD EVER AT THE BRESLIN CENTER TO WATCH A WOMENS BASKETBALL GAME. THE SPARTANS WHO ARE CURRENTLY RANKED 19TH AND IS THE ONLY TEAM IN THE COUNTRY TO PLAY 4 TOP TEN RATED TEAMS. THE FUN DOESNT END THERE, THE SPARTANS PLAY THERE BEST BALL AGAINST THE TOP COMPETITION GOING 2-1 AGAINST TOP TEN OPPONENTS AND THE LONE LOSS BEING A ONE POINT LOSS TO NOTRE DAME. ALLYSSA DEHAAN IS THERE GO TO PLAYER AND SHE COMES UP BIG IN THE BIGGEST GAMES. HOWEVER, THE OHIO STATE LADY BUCKEYES ARE ONE OF THE UP AND COMING TEAMS IN THE NATION, BOASTING ONE OF THE BEST 1-2 PUNCHES IN WOMENS COLLEGE BASKETBALL WITH SAMANTHA PRAHILIS AND JANTEL LAVENDER. PRAHALIS IS THE FLOOR GENERAL, AND IS AMONG THE BEST IN THE NATION IN ASSIST, HER BACK COURT RUNNING MATES BRITTNEY JOHNSON AND TAYLOR HILL (SISTER OF PJ. HILL ON THE MENS TEAM), ARE ALSO YOUNG CAPABLE SCORERS WHO ARE MAKING NAMES FOR THEMSELVES. THEY BOTH ARE ALSO 5-11 GUARDS AND IN THE FEMALE GAME THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO A 6-7 GUARD IN THE MENS GAME (SEE EVAN TURNER). LAVENDER IS THE PROBABLY THE MOST DOMINATE PLAYER IN THE BIG TEN. SHE IS LEADING THE CONFERENCE IN SCORING AND IS SECOND IN REBOUNDING. THE BUCKEYES ALSO HAVE GREAT DEPTH WITH SARAH SCHULZE AND ALSO GREAT UPPERCLASS LEADERSHIP. THIS WILL BE A GREAT TEST FOR THE LADY BUCKEYES BUT AN EVEN BIGGER TEST FOR THE LADY SPARTANS. LOOK FOR THE BUCKEYES TO ROLL ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. 75-61 OHIO STATE. ESTEEMED WOMENS FINAL FOUR ANALYST BETH MOWINS AND DEB ANTONELLI WILL BE HAVING THE CALL. GO BUCKS!!!!!
