Coverage of the VCU win

The Michigan Daily has two articles about the game. From the first:

The Michigan women's basketball team continues to push the past further and further away.

It wasn't enough for the Wolverines to play in the Women's National Invitational Tournament for the first time since 2002.

Last night, they became the first team in the program's 35-year history to reach the third round of a postseason tournament other than the Big Ten Tournament.

Thanks to senior Janelle Cooper's 22 points and a 14-0 run to start the game, Michigan easily took down Virginia Commonwealth, 75-57, at Crisler Arena last night.

And the second, including a description of Krista Clement's amazing basket just before half time.

"(When you're) practicing every day and not playing a game, you just feel anxious to get out there," senior Janelle Cooper said. "But when you're out there, your adrenaline is flowing and you're excited to be there."

Prayer answered: If one miracle shot wasn't enough this season, Michigan made sure it got a second.

As the seconds wound down in the first half, senior Krista Clement lost control of the ball while dribbling through half court. The senior regained possession with three seconds remaining on the clock and heaved up an off-balance shot from about 35 feet away. Just like Krista Phillips' buzzer-beating shot against Wisconsin which sent the game to overtime and allowed the Wolverines to win, Clement's shot fell

"(The shot was) pretty lucky, I guess," Clement said. "Everyone was laughing. (My opponent) was like, 'you traveled and they didn't call it, and you lost the ball and you got it and then you made it.' It was pretty funny."

The shot gave Michigan a 41-25 lead at halftime and ignited the Crisler Arena crowd.
