Cotie McMahon’s rise to stardom continues while Jacy Sheldon is back to full strength, and both of them will be vital to Ohio State’s chances of making a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Playing on the sport’s biggest stage for the first time in her career, McMahon didn’t look like a rookie. Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff attributes that to her development over the past 15 months since she arrived in Columbus as a midyear enrollee in January 2022.
McMahon might only be scratching the surface of the player she could become at Ohio State over the next three years, but she’s already one of the biggest reasons why the Buckeyes are 26-7 this year. McMahon continuing to play the way she has all year – both in terms of her production and the energy she brings to everyone around her – will be crucial to the Buckeyes’ chances of continuing their NCAA Tournament run into the second weekend and beyond.
“Games like this, it's win or go home. Obviously I'm very passionate,” McMahon said. “I do think it wasn’t smart. It won’t happen again. But emotions were high, and I wasn't getting the calls that I thought I deserved, as well as my teammates.” McMahon’s emergence is a big reason why the Buckeyes earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Equally important to the Buckeyes making a run now that they’re in the tournament is Sheldon returning to the form that made her an All-Big Ten player alongside Mikesell a year ago. Against James Madison on Saturday, she showed she is ready to be an on-court leader for the Buckeyes once again.
