Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.

Ohio State women's basketball returned from the closest they get to a bye week and defeated the Washington Huskies 66-56, in Columbus. Following the game, head coach Kevin McGuff, forward Cotie McMahon and center Elsa Lemmilä spoke with media.

Coach McGuff first talked about the slow start and the recent series of slow starts for Ohio State. Also, the performance of Lemmilä in the second quarter and a night where McMahon broke through most cold spells for the Buckeyes to lead them to a 20th win this season.

McMahon and Lemmilä discuss what they're bringing with them when they head to the Pacific Coast, last year's performances against the two Los Angeles-based sides and the growing confidence of Lemmilä that's leading to strong performances on the court.

That and more on the latest "Uncut."
