Ohio State women’s basketball had a tough week in Los Angeles. After losing to the No. 1 UCLA Bruins by 13 on Wednesday night, the Buckeyes were outmatched by Kiki Iriafen and the No. 7 USC Trojans on Saturday in an 84-63 rout.
Following the game, head coach Kevin McGuff and players Taylor Thierry and Cotie McMahon had a joint press conference answering questions about not only the loss to the Trojans but the week that was in California.
Coach McGuff started off right away talking about a rebounding performance where the Trojans grabbed 62 boards compared to 30 for the Buckeyes. Both McGuff and McMahon also shared similar thoughts on offensive woes, and players trying to do too much in difficult stretches of the contest.
McMahon also spent time applauding the work of Thierry, who held guard JuJu Watkins to 10 points in the three quarters and change the Ohio native played before fouling out early in the fourth quarter.
That and more on the latest “Uncut.”
