Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2964479, member: 7492"] Umm, I think MSU had something to do with Ionescu being off her game but she impacted it in other ways. She played VERY well and those that continue to say she didn't because they've seen her play better (against less acclaimed teams than MSU!) are not considering what she did do and against this top 5 team. Don't give me that last years Stanford, OSU or other PAC12 team was better than this MSU, they weren't. When she has shot better, it was due to less tenacious defense. I know I was a tad agreesive with some of the over zealous MSU fans who were touting the defenase as elite, which it is not but it is VERY good and better than almost all the other PAC12 teams (maybe OSU). So my point is -it would not have been a blowout as SI played as well as we all know she could! She is AA worthy! And saying such is denigrating MSU, who I still think is 3, 4 or 5 at worst. [/QUOTE]
