COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Turning to the leading scorer and overall driving force on a team is always a smart move when struggling, and Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff did just that.Kelsey Mitchell scored 23 points and No. 9 Ohio State went on a 22-0 run in the third quarter in an 80-38 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday.The 5-foot-8 guard helped spark the run with the Buckeyes (6-3) trailing 28-27 with 3 minutes left in the first half. She finished 7 for 11, with four baskets from 3-point range.Early on, Ohio State appeared sluggish, and struggled to make shots.We just didnt have a lot of energy, McGuff said. We looked like we were a little tight coming off of two loses. Just had to get our mojo back and get our confidence back going.Shanice Johnson led the Bearcats (6-2) with 10 points and 17 rebounds, and Ana Owens added nine points.Cincinnati held Ohio State to 9-of-34 shooting in the first half, while the Buckeyes missed their first seven shots. The Bearcats led by as many as 11 in the first half.Ohio State ended the first half on a 10-0 run to bring the game to within one at the midway point, and continued the streak for 11 more points to earn a 38-28 lead.

The Bearcats went 4 of 32 (12.5 percent) from 3-point range. Alexa Hart picked up 10 points, and pulled down 12 total rebounds, and played 26 minutes in the absence of Stephanie Mavunga.(Mavungas absence) just gives us an opportunity to go out there and work hard and be effective on the court, she said.Cincinnati failed to make a single field goal in the fourth quarter. Overall, the Bearcats were outscored 53-10 in the second half.Ohio State combined for 42 defensive rebounds, and did not allow second chance opportunities for the Bearcats.BIG PICTUREOhio State: Ohio State was able to attack the hoop and outrebound Cincinnati with the larger lineup, and looked to be unstoppable with Mitchell hitting her marks.The Buckeyes benefited from another hot night from the guard, and scored more points in the second half than the Bearcats scored all game. The Buckeyes are now 4-2 at home, with nine players registering a score.Cincinnati: The first ranked team to meet the Bearcats this season proved to be too much. Cincinnati was outscored 53 to 10 in the second half and 29 to 1 in the fourth quarter after holding a lead at halftime. Johnson fell hard with under six minutes left and was removed from the game when two Ohio State players fell on her upper body and head. She is the teams leading scorer and did not return.MCGUFF MAKES BIG ADJUSTMENTSI thought we just settled for too many threes early in the game, McGuff said. In the second half, we started to get a little more balanced. We attacked the zone in the middle, and we were able to get the ball in the basket.The move from outside to under the rim allowed big point totals for Ohio State, and eventually opened up the long ball from Mitchell, who ended the game 4 of 6 from deep.UP NEXTOhio State: Host Southern University on Wednesday nightCincinnati: Host Xavier on Dec. 11.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Trainer Graham Motion predicted that Ring Weekend would run a much-improved race in Mondays Grade 2 Bernard Baruch than he had 16 days earlier in the Fourstardave. And he couldnt have been more right, as Ring Weekend not only won the closing-day co-feature at Saratoga by a neck over Jay Gatsby but also established a course record.Ring Weekend finished sixth and last in the Grade 1 Fourstardave. But Motion noted that his horse had not only become a little rank after getting pinched at the start of the race but also was making his first start in three months and just his second in nearly a year and a half that day.Id be very disappointed if he didnt turn in a much more Ring Weekend kind of performance, Motion said 48 hours in advance of the Bernard Baruch.On Monday, John Velazquez, who guided Ring Weekend to an easy victory in the Grade 3 Saranac here two years ago, placed Ring Weekend in perfect striking position off the pace, set for much of the way by Take the Stand. Ring Weekend eased out to launch his bid in early stretch and outfinished Jay Gatsby, with the pair bumping briefly nearing the wire.Jay Gatsby improved his position along the inside on the second turn, eased out between horses to continue his bid near midstretch, was put in tight quarters and jostled when Take the Stand came out slightly under left-handed pressure approaching the wire, and could not quite match strides with Ring Weekend at the end. Take the Stand succumbed very grudgingly, finishing just a nose farther back in third.Following a stewards inquiry and claim of foul by Jay Gatsbys jockey, Javiier Castellano, against the winner, the result stood as is.ddddddddddddThe victory was the sixth in 17 starts for Ring Weekend, who became a Grade 1 winner at Santa Anita during the winter of 2015 before going to the sidelines for better than 14 months due to foot issues. His final time of 1:38.29 for 1-1/16 miles eclipsed the previous track mark of 1:38.54 set by Ironicus in winning the 2015 Bernard Baruch. Ring Weekend paid $7.90 as the slight favorite in a field of nine older turf specialists.Motion watched the race from the Forest Hills neighborhood in Queens, where he was attending the U.S. Open tennis matches.Serena [Williams] won her match just as [Ring Weekend] crossed the finish line, so the timing was a little awkward, Motion quipped when reached by phone several minutes after the race. In fairness to the horse, last time he got really aggressive after getting cut off at the break. This was the real Ring Weekend we saw today. Hes had an incredibly tough year, so I am very proud of him. You never expect any horse to set a track record, but I know what hes capable of, so Im not totally surprised.Motion said he has no definite plans for Ring Weekend other than to point him for the Breeders Cup Mile.I might just want to wrap him up in cotton balls and wait for the Breeders Cup, Motion said when asked what might be next. Seriously, I imagine he might run again, although I wouldnt mind just sitting on him and waiting for the Breeders Cup, which is our major goal.
