More on the Minnesota game

I've been slow to write more about the Minnesota game, partly because every time I think about the game I get depressed all over again. In many ways, that game seemed a microcosm of this season - Michigan dominated in stretches, but couldn't put the game away. Not to take anything away from Minnesota, but the Wolverines had executed better (fewer turnovers, better free throw shooting), they would have won the game.

Michigan has a couple impressive victories this season, but can't seem to sustain good play, either over the course of a single game or for multiple games in a row.

From mgoblue.com:
Brittany McCoy banked in a last-second three-pointer to help Minnesota steal a 60-59 victory from the University of Michigan women's basketball team on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 15) in Crisler Arena.

The Wolverines held a 59-57 lead after senior guard Jessica Minnfield's (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic) free throw with 15 seconds remaining before McCoy hit the game-winner. Freshman guard Carmen Reynolds (Hilliard, Ohio/Davidson) led Michigan with 14 points off the bench, while Minnfield finished with 10 points and a career-high nine rebounds.
