Next: Michigan State

Michigan & Michigan State meet for the third time this season - the home team winning in each of the first two games. The key for Michigan will be containing Allyssa DeHaan - she is MSU's leading scorer, rebounder & shot blocker. Krista Phillips will have her hands full, and will need to stay out of foul trouble. Forward Kalisha Kean is their second leading scorer & rebounder, averaging 12.2 points a game.

Not only will Michigan need to contain DeHaan, but their outside game will have to be effective enough to keep MSU honest on defense. They'll need at least one of Cooper/Benson/Minnfield or Clement to hit a couple of three point shots.

With Marquette beating Illinois, the winner of this game will be the only Big 10 team still playing.
