The No. 12 Ohio State women’s basketball team played its final home game of the regular season on Wednesday, welcoming the No. 23 Michigan State Spartans. It was a chance for the Buckeyes to go undefeated at home for the 2024-25 season, secure an important quad one win for NCAA Tournament consideration and secure a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament.
Ohio State built up a 20-point lead in the third quarter and defeated the Spartans 89-78. Following the win, head coach Kevin McGuff, guard Jaloni Cambridge and forward Ajae Petty spoke with the media.
McGuff talked about the performance being the closest his team has come to a 40-point performance, controlling a vast majority of the game. He also commented on the 33-point night for Cambridge and Petty going a perfect 11-of-11 from the floor in the win.
After Coach McGuff, Cambridge and Petty took to the media table, fielding questions about Petty’s double-double, how the forward’s worked with assistant coaches to improve her inside game and Cambridge was open about feeling disrespected by the Spartans, and how she chose to respond.
That and more on the latest “Uncut.”
