Some of us thought Ohio State-- led by post juggernaut Jess Davenport-- wouldn't get a real test this year till they played LSU. We were wrong.

Yesterday OSU defeated Boston College... in overtime, behind a Marscilla Packer trey. Double- and triple-teams held Davenport to 12 points on 4-9 shooting. BC center Ress scored 16 and got a double-double.

OSU coach Foster: "I think we were lucky to have a fresh start and go out and get a chance to win the game. I liked our team a lot in overtime. I didn't like us for the first 38 minutes."

Big Ten coaches scramble for tape of the game.
