Ohio State 80-47 Nebraska (Feb 14, 2024) Game Recap – ESPN
COLUMBUS, Ohio — — Jacy Sheldon had 23 points and Cotie McMahon added 20 points and 10 rebounds as No. 2 Ohio State pulled away early and raced to its 12th straight win, an 80-47 rout of Nebraska on Wednesday night.
The Buckeyes (22-3, 13-1 Big Ten) this week tied their highest ranking in the AP Top 25 in school history and sit atop the Big Ten standings with three regular-season games left, including a prime-time finale with Caitlin Clark and Iowa on March 3.
The then-No. 2 Hawkeyes were defeated by Nebraska last weekend, but the Huskers (16-9, 8-6) never got close to pulling off another signature win on Wednesday.
“I thought our effort was really good, right from the tip,” Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said. “With Nebraska coming off such a great win against Iowa, an emotional win, but also a game where they expended a lot of energy. I thought if we could get after them early, we could really impose our will on the game.”
Huskers leading Alexis Markowski (16.4 points per game) paced her team with just nine points, but the 6-foot-3 forward pulled down 16 rebounds. Callin Hake added seven points.
Nebraska led only once and that was early in the game. Ohio State’s 3-point shooters were 4 for 9 in the first half as the Buckeyes ran out to a 33-19 halftime lead. Ohio State ran the lead to 28 points after three quarters.
“I thought our team was confident and ready to handle the pressure, but we just got out here today and we were not,” Nebraska coach Amy Williams said. “We got rattled early and it led to not-very-confident ball-handling. And it looked to me like (the Ohio State) defense just picked things up a notch because they could smell the blood in the water.”
Sheldon — who was 5 for 8 from 3-point range — and McMahon both took a seat with about four minutes left as McGuff emptied the bench.
“I think the backbone of our game is our press and our defense,” Sheldon said. “And when it’s blowing, it leads to offense. It was a lot of fun tonight.”
BIG PICTURE
Nebraska: With a season-high 30 turnovers leading to 29 Ohio State points, the Huskers could never get any traction.
Ohio State: Led by stars Sheldon and McMahon, who recorded her fifth double-double of the season, and deep with support players capable of having big games, the Buckeyes have their sights set on making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
UPCOMING
Nebraska: At Purdue on Saturday.
Ohio State: At Penn State on Feb. 22.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
