Honestly, that was dreadful. MGoBlue made a fine attempt to look on the bright side, but there's just no way around this loss.
22 turnovers. -13 on the o-boards. And 17 points for the Aggies' Danielle Adams in 24 minutes.
The first two are particularly troubling. According to what's out there, Texas A&M's defense was described as "stifling" as it recorded 10 steals for the night. As a result, the combined points off turnovers and offensive rebounds were greatly in the Aggies' favor, 32-14.
The Wolverines once again came out cold to begin the second half and allowed Texas A&M to take a stranglehold of the game. Kate Thompson, as mentioned in the MGoBlue post, was the lone bright spot and prevented the Aggies from making this an obliteration.
Another sorta bright spot: Michigan became the first team to prevent Texas A&M from earning 80+ points in a night. (hooray) But just to balance it out, the Wolverines have not won a game where they allowed 60 or more points - I guess 60 is the magic number for the season.
We'll hopefully have more detail (aka team reaction) once the articles get turned loose. In the meantime, Michigan squares off against Wake Forest as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge Wednesday night at 6:30. If you're not at Crisler, you can watch it on the Big Ten Network.
