Game #4: Terps Vs. Michigan State

For the first time all season, the Terps will have to play on back-to-back days and it's against Michigan State, NCAA finalists from a year ago. Michigan State is coming off a 28-point drubbing by the hands of Tennessee last night in round 1 of the Paradise Jam. They are led by Liz Shimek and Lindsay Bowen, both of whom scored over 1,000 points in their careers. This team is full of fighters as demonstrated in their 16-point comeback vs. UT in last year's National Seminfinals. Last night they kept it close for a while, before one last UT run broke their backs.

They didn't look that tall last night and if Maryland can play the way they have the first three games, they will come out on top, maybe by at least 10. This is a big test for the team as they have to play with passion and not in awe of a team they should be able to beat. We lucked out with the big win last night as several of the key players were able to rest for most of the second half.
