Gonzaga women welcome 20th-ranked Ohio State

Even casual women’s basketball fans have heard of Baylor’s Brittney Griner, Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne and Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins.

Gonzaga coach Kelly Graves said Ohio State senior guard Tayler Hill is right behind those three when it comes to the next WNBA draft.

Hill, however, struggled during Saturday’s 62-55 loss at Washington State, shooting 3 of 17 from the floor, including 0 for 9 on 3-pointers. Now Hill and her 20th-ranked Buckeyes (6-3) must regroup to play at Gonzaga (9-2) at 6 tonight at McCarthey Athletic Center. The teams have never met.

Hill leads the Buckeyes in scoring (19.1 ppg), 3-pointers (24), assists (27) and steals (26).

“They have a marquee player we’re going to have to contend with,” Graves said.

Guard Amber Stokes (11.2) and 6-foot-5 center Ashley Adams (10.4) also score in double figures for the Buckeyes.

“Ohio State is Ohio State,” Graves said. “They’re always good, they’re always big, they’re always well-coached.”

Gonzaga’s scoring is topped by guard Haiden Palmer (12.5 ppg) and reserve guard Keani Albanez (8.5). Leading rebounder Sunny Greinacher (5.3 rpg) has scored 38 points in GU’s last three games.
