The Ohio State women’s basketball team dropped a 64-52 decision to the Bowling Green Falcons on Sunday, with each team playing in its third game in three days at the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic at Value City Arena.
Ohio State, which won two out of three games over the weekend, drops to 5-2 on the season while Bowling Green improves to 6-1.
The Buckeyes were never able to sustain any rhythm offensively as they shot just 25 percent for the game. Despite 12 three-pointers by the Falcons, the Buckeyes kept the game within reach until BG’s Jillian Halfhill scored seven consecutive points, turning a two-point BG lead into nine with 11:50 left. Ohio state never recovered from that point and did not get closer than eight points the rest of the way.
“They deserved to win,” head coach Kevin McGuff said. “They played harder and had more fight and executed better. We got a little tired, but both teams were playing their third game in three days. We didn’t respond with toughness and execution when we got tired. We had a few letdowns while Bowling Green played through their fatigue and that was ultimately the difference in the game.”
The Buckeyes shot 24 of 26 from the line, but BG’s outside shooting was too much to overcome.
