Uncut: Coach McGuff on late defensive collapse for Ohio State against Iowa

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. For the second game in a row, No. 8 Ohio State women’s basketball built a double-digit fourth quarter lead, only to squander it late and head into overtime. Fortunately for head coach Kevin McGuff and the Buckeyes, the Scarlet and Gray found what they needed to win in both extra periods of basketball. Monday, it was with an 86-78 win against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Following the game, head coach Kevin McGuff talked with the media on a range of topics including that late fourth quarter collapse, being ok with the shot selection from deep for freshman center Elsa Lemmilä and his thoughts on the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee putting the Buckeyes at the No. 14 seed in the first top-16 of the regular season. After coach, forward Cotie McMahon and freshman Jaloni Cambridge discussed the late Iowa comeback, Cambridge discussed hitting late free throws in overtime to ice the game and McMahon talked about how playing Iowa is still personal to the junior after three years of close battles and heated matchups.
