MSU Women’s Basketball moves along the loss of rivalry, directs views of the Wisconsin match – State News

The women’s basketball team at Michigan State University fell against the rival Michigan on Sunday, missing out for a season. The Spartans will look to bounce on Wednesday night while hosting Wisconsin before heading west.

MSU sits six at the conference (18-5, 8-4 Big Ten) as it is preparing to host 14th in Wisconsin (11-13, 2-11 Big Ten). As the Big Ten tournament approaches, every victory of the conference is crucial.

The difficult loss of Michigan can serve as a motivation for MSU to focus on the admission.

It was in the rivalry, where poor shooting, the excluded game and the fight in the transition determined the loss. The MSU fired a season of 31% of the pitch, with the choice of shots and efficiency standing out as the main problems.

“I think the biggest absorption was only our offensive quality of shots. Our offensive production and efficiency were not good, “said chief coach Robin Frallik. “Going forward, we need to find a way to improve this and make sure we are improving, constantly improving, high quality photos.”

Although the loss may seem like a major failure for the Top-25 Spartans, the team maintains a “on the next” mentality.

Frallik emphasized the long grinding of the season, noting that there was little time to stop losses. The focus is now on moving forward.

“I think sometimes people outside our world underestimate how long the season is,” Fralik said. “To become too high or too low or too in one way or another is just not the world we live in. You know, you can get out of a great victory and enjoy it for about 12 hours. You can get out of a really disappointing loss and be disappointed in about 12 hours. Our task is to move forward. “

Wisconsin, although at the bottom of the ranks in the conference, should not be considered. During their difficult schedule, Jr. forwards, Sera Williams, was a major place and threat to Badgers. Williams an average of 18.9 points and 10.3 fights per game, one of only two players on a national scale with these numbers.

Following Wisconsin’s game, led by Williams, it will be a key focus on MSU.

“(Wisconsin) has a very really good game after play,” Frallik said. “They play a lot through their publications. They surround them with good shooters, so we have to find ways to minimize their game from the inside out. “

Outside the Michigan game, MSU is one of the best teams in the nation. MSU ranks seventh on a national scale of the theft of a match (13.1), along with the placement of 10th place in the turnover, forced to the match (23.48).

If MSU may contain Williams, the lack of a secondary evaluation of Wisconsin can work for the benefit of the Spartans.

Frallik emphasized the need for a better offensive rapprochement, with MSU relying on Julia Iro bounce performances (15.8 ppg) and Terin Hallock (13.4 ppg). Both were key sparks for the Spartans No. 22, along with junior striker Grace Vansen (14.5 ppg), which was the only bright place in the loss.

Wisconsin visits East Lansing on Wednesday, February 12, at 6:30 pm. The game will run on B1G+.
