75-63 on Sunday and earn a spot in the Sweet 16 of the women's NCAA tournament for the first time since 2018.
Richardson hit a 3-pointer from the wing to put Duke up 59-57 with 5:21 left. That sparked a 13-2 run by the Blue Devils that put the game out of reach."We're super proud, just how the team played today," said Richardson, who averaged 11.9 points per game during the season."I think we were down by 16, and we didn't let it faze us. We stayed with each other and we were able to climb back.
"They played better," Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said."They deserved to win. We didn't play well today." Ohio State's pressing defense caused problems for Duke early as the Buckeyes built a 16-point lead. But the Blue Devils came roaring back. A 12-2 run cut the Buckeyes' lead to 36-32 at halftime.
"These guys never flinched," Duke coach Kara Lawson said."In the huddles, they were locked in. They kept their belief, even though it felt like we were getting run out of the gym at the beginning of the game. Possession by possession we worked our way back.""We were really generating good shots early in the game in the first quarter and we were rebounding the ball with energy and discipline," McGuff said.
