Former Ohio State women's basketball star named to WNBA All-Star team

For the second time, former Ohio State women’s basketball star Kelsey Mitchell has been named an All-Star. The news was announced by her current team, the Indiana Fever on Tuesday.

Mitchell was drafted by the Fever in the first round of the 2018 WNBA draft after starring for the Buckeyes from 2014 to 2018. With OSU, she became the program’s all-time leading scorer with 3,402 points and was an All-American four times, and Big Ten Player of the Year three times en route to one of the most decorated careers in Ohio State history.

So far this season with the Fever, Mitchell has averaged 16.6 points, 1.8 assists, and two rebounds per game, all while shooting a blistering 40.5% from beyond the arc. Mitchell also was named an All-Star last season.

Congrats to one of the all-time greats to ever don the Scarlet and Gray.
