An early afternoon (around 1pm) matchup between two DII Final Four teams last year. DIII #3 Ottawa-Glandorf Lady Titans visit the Panther Pit to take on the DII #7 Lady Panthers. O-G won last years meeting at home by 12. You have to give MT's coach Ben Ackley a lot of props for his scheduling the past few years in getting the Lady Panthers ready for tournament time by playing a tough non-conference schedule. This year they've already played Hathaway Brown and perennial power DI Reynoldsburg (their only loss thus far by 12). They've also played Southeastern and besides O-G, they still have Eastern Brown on 1/25 and play in the Ironton Classic (don't know what it's really called) vs George Rogers Clark, Ky (don't know how good they are). I think playing these types of teams have really helped when tournament time rolls around, even if you lose, you get valuable experience.
