Ohio State women’s basketball faces scoring concerns ahead of new season
Summary

Ohio State women's basketball is gearing up for the 2026-27 season, returning four starters from last year's squad. The Buckeyes finished fourth in the Big Ten last season but received little preseason attention, ranking No. 18 behind six other Big Ten teams. With standout guard Chance Gray now gone, head coach Kevin McGuff's team faces a pressing issue: finding reliable scoring partners for Jaloni Cambridge, who averaged 23.2 points per game last season. Analysts question whether the Buckeyes can compete effectively in a strong Big Ten during the upcoming season.
