Ohio State, which moved up to 14th in the AP Top 25 on Monday on the heels of its win over Maryland, has now won five straight games to improve to 16-2 on the season and 6-1 in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes’ only losses this season have come against two of the top three teams in the country, No. 1 UConn and No. 3 UCLA.
The Buckeyes will face another big test in their next game on Monday, when they take a brief break from Big Ten play to face No. 10 TCU in the Coretta Scott King Classic. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day game will tip off at noon and will be televised by FOX.
Cambridge has now totaled 102 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists in Ohio State’s last three games. She’s just the second player since the turn of the century to hit those totals over a three-game span, joining former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark.
