Get ready for an exciting season of Ohio State women's basketball! The team is fired up and ready to prove their worth, despite being overlooked by the preseason rankings.
The 2017-18 season was a memorable one, with program legends Kelsey Mitchell, Stephanie Mavunga, and Linnae Harper leading the Buckeyes to a dominant performance in the Big Ten. However, the following season saw a dip in their record, and now, as they enter the 2019-20 campaign, they find themselves unranked once again.
But here's where it gets interesting... the lack of a preseason ranking might just be the motivation this team needs to rise to the top. With a new group of talented players, including returning point guard Jaloni Cambridge and some exciting transfers, Ohio State has the potential to surprise everyone.
The Big Ten schedule offers plenty of opportunities for the Buckeyes to showcase their skills and build an impressive resume. And with head coach Kevin McGuff's full-court press strategy, this team is ready to make a statement.
"We've got a lot of potential to get better," said McGuff. "Our team is full of talented young women who are eager to prove themselves."
And this is the part most people miss... rankings don't always tell the whole story. Ohio State has the ingredients for a successful season, and they're determined to show it.
So, will Ohio State defy the odds and make it to March Madness? Only time will tell. The season kicks off on November 9th, and the Buckeyes are ready to hit the court running.
What do you think? Do you believe in this team's potential? Let's discuss in the comments and see if we can predict their path to success!
