Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5150485, member: 6620"] Some quick hitters on Friday games involving B1G Teams: - Alabama Hands Michigan State 1st Loss in West Palm, Fla, 82-67. Alabama has some pretty good backcourt players in Zaay Green, Aaliyah Nye and Sarah Ashlee Barker. Kind of a SEC Utah with a lot of ball movement and shooting. Whole game got down to a 31-11 Alabama thumping in the third. MSU is well coached, but last night only Julia Ayrault and Grace VanSlooten looked top shelf. - UCLA 70 - Creighton 41. Holy unexpected smush. What was in the locker rooms? The Bruins outscored 26-4 in the first and 20-8 in the third. And UCLA did this without Lauren Betts playing (she's another big with "soreness."). Kiki Rice is back though: 20 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. I've noticed Janiah Barker has moved into the starting lineup over Timea Gardiner, but Gardiner played more minutes last night. Angela Dugalic was the big though, with a double 13 in pts, rebounds. She's another of the Oregon transfers from that class that included Kylee Watson, Maddie Scherr, Pao Pao, etc. - Michigan 96 - Akron 55. Expected this outcome, but I'm always interested in how Kim Barnes Arrico tinkers together a roster to stay competitive in Ann Arbor. Frosh Syla Swords had an off night, but Oliva Olsen is a frosh who seems to be a keeper. While her shooting was off (4-11), she had 6 assists. And another one of the Oregon/Oregon St. transfers -- Greta Kampschroeder -- finally had a big night: 23 points on 9-16 overall shooting and 5-9 from three. Been awhile since I've seen numbers like that from the Naperville, Ill., native. - Smush #2. Ohio St. 84 - Stanford 59. As noted, this was on the Left Coast, too. Six Buckeyes -- all five starters and one sub -- were in double figures and only two Cardinals/Trees were in double figures. Be physical. Run on this year's Stanford. [/QUOTE]
