Ohio State guards Jacy Sheldon and Taylor Mikesell were named first-team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and media on Tuesday afternoon.

A 5-foot-10 junior from Dublin (Ohio) Coffman, Sheldon is averaging 19.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 27 games for the Buckeyes this season. She was notably a unanimous selection of the coaches, who also named her to their all-defensive team.

The 5-foot-11 Mikesell, meanwhile, is averaging 19.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season, her first with the Buckeyes after transferring from Oregon. The Massillon, Ohio, native return home for her senior year and was ruled eligible just days before season opener.

Ohio State finished the regular season at 22-5 overall and 14-4 in Big Ten play to clinch a share of their first Big Ten title since 2017-18, when they also went on to win the tournament title. They’ll look to accomplish that feat again when the Big Ten Tournament begins this week.

The Buckeyes have a bye to the quarterfinals and will take on the winner of No. 8 seed Michigan State and ninth-seeded Purdue on Friday, with tipoff set for 11:30 a.m. on BTN.
