COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Jaloni Cambridge scored 21 of her 29 points in the
second half, Elsa Lemmila had 14 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks, and No.
11 Ohio State beat Wisconsin 81-58 on Thursday night.
Ohio State (19-3, 8-2 Big Ten) has won five straight against Wisconsin to lead
the series 57-18.
Chance Gray added 10 points for the Buckeyes.
Cambridge scored 13 points in the last four minutes, 18 seconds of the third
quarter, which included a 3-pointer that capped a 19-6 run and gave Ohio State
a 56-45 lead going into the fourth. Cambridge then made a layup, a jumper and a
3 that pushed the lead to 18 with 8:27 left in the game.
Destiny Howell led Wisconsin (13-9, 5-6) with 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting, 5
of 7 from 3-point range.
The Badgers made four 3-pointers --- two by Howell --- in the first five
minutes before Kyrah Daniels hit a jumper that gave Wisconsin a nine-point lead
with 2:33 left in the first quarter.
The Buckeyes trailed 23-17 at the end of the first quarter, but limited
Wisconsin to five second-quarter points and then outscored the Badgers 52-30
after the intermission --- Ohio State's seventh 50-point second half this
season.
Ohio State freshman Kylee Kitts, who redshirted at Florida last season, missed
her third consecutive game (shoulder). The 6-foot-4 Kitts started each of the
first 19 games and averaged 9.3 points and a team-high 7.1 rebounds per game
this season.
