Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2528215, member: 6620"] The Michigan - OSU match was an interesting game in that each team had three players dominate their team's scoring totals: - Michigan: Center Hallie Thome (27 points); guard Katelynn Flaherty (21 points); and, guard Nicole Munger (20 points). - Ohio State: Forward Stephanie Mavunga (21 points); guard Kelsey Mitchell (20 points); and guard Linnae Harper (15 points). Michigan needed this kind of win to use for their NCAA-qualifying tool kit. Remember, they were on the bubble last year, didn't get in and went to the NIT...which they won over Georgia Tech (another team that is trending upwards and will continue to do so with an excellent 2018 recruiting class). Ohio State will really go as far as the three listed above -- and Sierra Calhoun -- take them. And next year it will be "start over" because all three of them -- Mavunga, Mitchell and Harper -- are gone. For Michigan, Flaherty graduates but Thome and Munger are back. Thome, btw, also had a good game against Notre Dame. She's improved over the course of her career...not terribly swift, but hustles and has good fundamentals. BTW, here's an article on Flaherty that was something of a preview of this game. Some interesting notes on how she creates space for her shot, given that she'd 5'7".
