Lavender leads Ohio State to Big Ten title

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jantel Lavender posted 35 points and 10 rebounds, leading 10th-ranked Ohio State to the Big Ten Tournament title with a 66-64 win over Iowa.

Lavender went 14-of-25 from the field and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, as Ohio State (30-4) clinched an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with its ninth win in 10 games.

Tayler Hill added 14 points in the victory, which was cemented by a pair of Lavender free throws with one second remaining.

Kamille Wahlin scored 20 points but missed a potential game-winning three- pointer for Iowa (19-13), which finished tied for the third-best record in the conference during the regular season at 10-8. Kelly Krei had 18 points and eight boards, while Kachine Alexander had 13 points and seven rebounds in defeat.

The Hawkeyes led for nearly the entire game and looked primed for the upset, holding a 49-33 lead early in the second half.

The Buckeyes, though, were able to whittle away at their deficit and eventually tied the game at 60-60 on a Samantha Prahalis layup with just over five minutes to go.

The game remained tied, 64-64, with 1:20 to go after a Lavender layup, but Jamie Printy was unable to hit a jumper that would have put Iowa in front. After a Hawkeyes turnover, Lavender was fouled and drilled both attempts at the line for a two-point lead with only a second to go.

Iowa had one last shot out of a timeout, but Wahlin's three was off the mark.
