Mich St always seems to be a bit over rated.

Looked at MSU's schedule, and for the most part they have played a weak schedule.   But they did beat Iowa by 2. Lost to Maryland, and Alabama. 

So not sure which team will show up. A  little like us really. We're on our home court, so that will help a bunch.

Maybe i haven't paid enough attention but I don't recall seeing Nissley guarded particularly closely.  I will watch for that this evening. 

I think that Rimdal and Prince are the all around best shooters. 

 

My hopes for tonight:

• that "fumbles" are greatly reduced.  If your teammate passes you the ball and you have your hands on it, keep it long enough to dribble to better position or pass to a teammate in a better position, or get a good shot
• Markowski goes two for three or three for five on three pointers and the little voice inside her tells her that the slump is over
• Prince sheds all signs of reluctance, shoots it up, shows her penetration ability, if she sees a chance to take over the game, take it!
• Weidner looks all game long like she looked in the last few minutes Sunday afternoon 
• Nissley gets 5+ shots
• (Futile hope I know but)  if a player gets hot on any combination of scores, steals, assists, etc .... Amy, let that horse run! 

Fingers crossed.
