The Ohio State Buckeyes boast a stacked roster filled with talented scorers, making them a formidable opponent for any team. As the Washington Huskies prepare for their trip to Columbus, they must be ready for an offensive onslaught from the Buckeyes, who have no shortage of players capable of putting points on the board.
Leading the charge is junior forward Cotie McMahon, Ohio State’s most electrifying scoring threat. She has solidified her place as the team’s go-to option on offense, averaging an impressive 16.4 points per game while shooting 42.4% from the field.
McMahon’s Impact in Big Ten Play
Even against tough Big Ten competition, McMahon continues to shine. Though her numbers dip slightly, she still puts up 15.7 points and grabs 6.0 rebounds per game, proving her ability to influence the game on multiple levels.
Her skill set extends beyond scoring she’s a tenacious defender, a strong rebounder, and a relentless attacker who frequently gets to the free-throw line. With 91 trips to the charity stripe this season, her aggressive playing style could spell trouble for Washington, especially if she forces key Huskies players into foul trouble.
If the Huskies fail to contain McMahon and neutralize her offensive firepower, this matchup could quickly spiral out of control. Facing one of the top teams in the nation on the road, Washington must find a way to slow her down otherwise, it could be a long night for the Huskies.
