If Michigan could stay within 6 points of South Carolina, we all can do it!

Syla Swords scored 27 points for Michigan. This year's front runner for freshman of the year maybe? On the other hand, Olivia Olson only scored 5 points.

So far, I haven't seen anything to scare the Iowa woman away from rubbing elbows with the top tier. Key words being "so far."
Counting on Syd and Hannah being at full health and for 2 frosh to step up like Teagan and Ava for that to be possible which does seem like a possibility.
Inexperience and a new head coach with her tweaked system are going to be the wildcards. Although, expecting Jan to be on par with Lisa with all the years they spent together and hopefully even better.

Olivia Olson went 2-12 from the field.
Michigan shot 31.0% overall and 30.8% from 3.
South Caroline shot 33.3% overall and 19.2% from 3.
That sounds like both teams were full of froshies or they're both defensive stalwarts.

All I know is that watching the NCAAW games yesterday was such a distinct difference from the game played in the WNBA. And by "difference" I mean exponentially better. I can't be the only one noticing this after the summer experiment watching the WNBA. Not sure the W will get this figured out, so it's nice to be back with the game I prefer.

On a side note regarding the South Carolina vs Michigan game...supposedly one of SC's best returning players is suspended indefinitely for beating someone up last summer. Charged with assault.

Yes, you are correct. However, Ashlyn Watkins most likely back sooner rather than later according to this report today that doesn't play in our favor.

So, some big booster got involved?

Have a feeling you're on to something here and/or maybe just another avenue for NIL to get involved? It really is pay to play, right?

Seems like the Michigan game gave them a scare and they said we need to move on this pronto. Botta bing, botta boom!
