Ohio State basketball standout Kelsey Mitchell is all about living in the moment

Ohio State senior guard Kelsey Mitchell is in college basketball’s rarified air this winter. The 2014 Princeton High School graduate is third on the NCAA women’s basketball career points list. She also holds multiple other NCAA, Big Ten and Ohio State records. The categories are enough to fill every line of a media bio page. But you won’t find the 5-foot-8 guard rattling off any of her statistical achievements. In fact, her favorite memory is simply when she helped Ohio State to the Big Ten title game three years ago as a freshman just as she emerged onto the national spotlight. “I just try to stay in the day and stay in the moment,” Mitchell said last week.
