More on the MSU loss

From the Michigan Daily:
The rims at the Breslin Center are regulation-sized - two basketballs wide and 10 feet above the floor.

But for the Michigan women's basketball team Sunday, the rims couldn't have seemed much bigger than Fisher-Price miniature hoops.

Michigan's 45-40 loss to Michigan State (10-8 Big Ten, 22-13 overall) in the Elite Eight of the Women's National Invitation Tournament wasn't pretty.

The Wolverines (9-9, 19-14) shot just 4-for-33 from 3-point range, their worst shooting percentage from deep all season.

"We didn't have good shots," Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said. "Did we even get any shots off? We're shooting the ball from, goodness, 24 feet from the basket just for the sake of shooting it, as opposed to getting some type of penetration and get a kickout."
