Women's basketball: Ohio State-Wisconsin preview
Wisconsin at Ohio State
7:30 tonight
• Where: Value City Arena
• TV: Big Ten Network
• Radio: WBNS-AM (1460)
• Records: Ohio State 20-2, 7-2; Wisconsin 8-14, 4-8
• Matchup to watch: The Buckeyes will have to mind the three-point line and long rebounds. The Badgers have three starters hitting 39 percent or better from beyond the arc in conference play, led by Jade Davis’ scorching 47.4 percent.
• Notable: Wisconsin’s three-game winning streak ended in an 85-79 overtime loss to Iowa on Thursday. Two of the victories were over Michigan and Minnesota, and each of those teams defeated Ohio State in the Big Ten this season. Anya Covington, Wisconsin’s second-leading scorer, did not play against Iowa because of an illness. … The Buckeyes had a week off after losing 76-65 to Minnesota on Jan. 29. OSU’s post players combined to score nine points. OSU defeated Wisconsin 77-61 in Madison on Dec. 30.
• Next: at Illinois, 8 p.m. Thursday
