The Michigan State women’s basketball team went down swinging during their down-to-the-wire 94-85 loss to No. 1 Indiana in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament.The Spartans held the advantage over the Hoosiers for most of the game, but the talented Indiana squad was able to regain control late in the second half to come out on top. A large part of the reason Michigan State was able to stay in the game for so long against a team like No. 1 seeded Indiana was the stellar performance from graduate student guard Kamaria McDaniel. McDaniel has been a constant fixture in the green and white during her one year in East Lansing, leading the Spartans in scoring with an average of 14.2 points per game. Friday afternoon was no different. McDaniel led all players in scoring and notched a season-high 32 points. Following the loss, McDaniel attributed a lot of her offensive success to the plays the rest of the Spartans were able to make on the other side of the court. “My teammates are amazing at giving me the ball, and we got defensive stops which opened up the open court and getting them fast breaks,” McDaniel said. “We were getting stops, and that was helping them momentum. When you're playing good defense, and your teammates are getting you the ball, I'm just able to kind of be myself and be that scorer that you know I've been.” Against Indiana McDaniel drove through to the net, fought through contact and even hit a perfect 3-3 from beyond the arc—in what will most likely be her final collegiate game. McDaniel was just three rebounds away from a double-double against the Hoosiers and grabbed the second most of any player on the floor—second only to senior guard Moira Joiner.MSU women's basketball acting head coach Dean Lockwood said that McDaniel is the type of player they want consistently shooting the ball no matter how many she may miss.“When she goes strong, and she plays with a high level of efficiency—Kamaria—she can score points. That was what she did today,” Lockwood said. “She took great shots, she attacked the basket, she took the shots when she was open, and again, she just played to who she was. That's again, so important for any player in any team. She was exactly true to who she was.” The Spartan’s time in the Big Ten Tournament came to a close Friday afternoon, but the possibility of an NCAA Tournament game is still up in the air. While MSU currently sits outside of the tournament bubble on ESPN's bracketology, the team will officially learn its fate Sunday at 8 p.m. on ESPN's selection show.

Being able to force turnovers is a skill that can greatly contribute to the success of a basketball team, but it is a fruitless endeavor if a team cannot convert turnovers into points. That is the position that the Michigan State women’s basketball team found themselves in earlier in the season. When the Spartans took on Michigan back in February, Michigan State accumulated just 14 points off of 20 Wolverine turnovers, while Michigan had the same amount of points on just half the number of Spartan turnovers. MSU ultimately lost that game, and senior guard Moira Joiner voiced her frustration post-game with the team’s inability to turn opportunities like turnovers into tangible points. The 67-64 win against No. 8 Nebraska in the second round of the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament turned out to be a different story for the green and white. “I think we're very self-aware. We know that (converting turnovers to points) has been an ongoing thing during the season,” Joiner said. “Like we just talked about it, we do execution drills—stuff like that. We just know we need to take the right shots—shot selection and things—and look for each other.”Michigan State women’s basketball is ranked 15th in the nation and second in the Big Ten in forced turnovers with an average of 20.54 forced turnovers per game. The Spartans are also ranked 13th in the nation in steals with 11.1 steals per game. MSU looked like that highly-ranked defensive team during their first tournament game against Nebraska with 11 steals and 18 opponent turnovers. The difference now in comparison to earlier in the season—the Spartans were taking those steals and turnovers, and taking them to the rim. “I feel like our defense is what makes us,” sophomore guard DeeDee Hagemann said. “I feel like if we go locked in on defense—that always translates into offense.”Michigan State was averaging one point per Nebraska turnover in Thursday afternoon's game for a total of 18 points from turnovers alone.The Spartans have the ability to make huge plays in transition, and that is what they have been demonstrating as the season has progressed—especially in their first game of the Big Ten Tournament. “We're very proud of this team—that grit and resilience,” Interim head women's basketball coach Dean Lockwood said. “I think this team has really committed defensively here more in recent days, and it's shown. These two players here (Joiner and Hagemann) are stalwarts for us defensively, but just our team—this was all about our team.”Michigan State will take the floor once again in Minneapolis on Friday at 12:30 p.m. EST against No. 1 Indiana for the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament. The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
