Here are three things that stood out from the game on Wednesday.

Wisconsin gave the ball to his first two possessions of the game. They both led to transitional baskets for the Spartans. It was a omen for the rest of the day.

Badgers entered the game on average 16.7 turnover per game in the last three competitions – all losses – and continued the trend with 19.

Michigan’s complete court press at times led to distribution, but Badgers were also just a ball with the ball even in their half court. The Spartans finished the game with 27 points from the turnover.

Sera Williams scored another double-spirit with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Carter McCra Center added 16 points and nine boards.

He was in full contrast to the even load of the Spartans. Michigan State had four goalscorers with double -digit sums, and Emma Shutta guards added nine.

It seemed that every time Wisconsin was ready to make a close match, Michigan State would have opposed a big mileage.

He exceeded Wisconsin 10-0 per point in the second quarter, after which there was another running at the end of the period. He also continued 13-0 at the end of the third quarter of all, but left the game and exceeded Badgers by 18-7 through a significant part of the first quarter.

Wisconsin had 10-0 in the second period and continued with 7-0 with the out-of-hand game in the fourth quarter, but could not support this type of game for more than usual moments.
