Ohio State women's basketball fans reflect on NCAA Tournament run
Ohio State women's basketball's season is complete.
After sweeping its season series against Michigan, defeating Indiana in the Big Ten tournament with a 26-point comeback and ending Connecticut's streak of 16-straight Elite Eights and 14-straight Final Four appearances, the Buckeyes missed a trip to the Final Four, losing to Virginia Tech 84-74 in the Elite Eight.

Tough ending to a great season.
Still proud of the @OhioStateWBB team and all they've accomplished.
