Against who? Against MSU's 35 opponents in 2017-18 and compared to the same stats against a similar schedule the previous year. How else should we debate your assertion that MSU is not as good defensively?

MSU's schedule wasn't as tough as UConn's, but there were plenty of good teams on it including 16 games vs NCAA Tourney teams. They went 15-1 in those games and won by double digits in 12 of them.  In the last 18 games no team has scored more than 63 points and the average has been 54.5. They've only given up more than 70 points twice all year. Both to NCAAT teams in wins. One an 11 point win over a pretty damn good Oregon team (nobody?).

They are still very good defensively and better offensively. That's why they're 34-1. UConn is better by nearly all measures, but State is good and even better than they were last year.

Vivians is 6'1", not 5'11" and this ain't her first rodeo. She's played against the best many times and she's proven herself. If she needs a little backup, there's somebody pretty large usually waiting.
