Go blue!
Two best players having foul issues is not ideal.
And Dilk not there either...I am critical of her but this is hardly ideal.
Keep it a half-court game and find a way through the post, they should be able to win.
Up 2 at the half, played the last like 8 without Hillmon or Brown.
Halftime: 36-34 M
Not terrible, all things considered. I'm not sure Naz even played 2 minutes in the 2nd quarter after 2 early fouls.
3 fouls on Naz. Ref fell for the flop.
Naz picks up her third on a ridiculous flop.
50-44 let’s go ladies!
I do hope WBB doesn't get jobbed.
Leigha Brown on fire. 16 points in the quarter.
How do you let a player foul out in the 3rd quarter?
She was apparently the designated "mugger" on Hillmon. Hopefully this frees up Naz...
62-52!
Who is investigating why Dilk isn't there? I have looked around and haven't found anything.
I scoured social media and the internet and could find nothing.
Later in the game, the announcer said it was "medical", but didn't elaborate.
Glad things are finally returned to normal.
Wait. Just turned it on, saw the clock, didn't realize it was only the end of the 3rd quarter.
Keep it going, WBB.
Nice run there. Leigha Brown is playing like someone who wants to stay in Texas a while.
Wow, what an offensive output. Not going to lie, I expected them to lose this game.
20-2 run in the fourth quarter to turn the 3-point game into a blowout. Nice.
I was feeling a little uneasy at the end of the third even with a double digit lead, because stupid shit happens.
Eh, not so much.
D! 8-0 run, partly b/c of defense.
That dude ref was out of control then he started calling it straight. Smarter passes were the key in the second half.
Must be a Sparty grad. I slap you, the foul is on your face
long term: 26-2 Michigan!
UM's three point shooting has come back at the right time. Fabulous! And Leigha Brown of course. Wow!
I hope Dilks' "medical issues" are temporary.
87-66, FGC at the line. I hope the 20-point lead remains.
Missed the first.
Missed the second!
87-66 Final Go Blue!!!
About time a Big Ten team won today.
87-66 final. Get Tennessee in the 2nd round.
Moving on in what the commentators say is the hardest regional!
And broke the longest winning streak in women's b'ball.
Next, Tennessee.
Go, Blue!
Solid win.
They'll have to be at the top of their game to knock off Tennessee. If they do it will be the biggest win in program history.
Brown with 19 (!) in the 3rd quarter!
Only blemish really was Brown missing those two free throws that would have put her at 30 for the game and 1000 for her career.
Not sure why Amy didn’t make the trip either. Regardless, great win considering ESPN analysts were all playing up the Eagles offense. What I didn’t expect was truly atrocious officiating. It may have been worse than the worse of the B1G men’s season.
Not only strange but Bell kept fouling and the fouls would get attributed to other players.
I seemed not to like her then remembered she played for Bucks last year.
Awesome 1/2 court D show, really impressive. And well L Brown...
Tenn will have to be everyone playing out of their minds, that's an excellent team. If they can stop them from running and defend the 3 we have something of a chance, despite the 1v1 matchup problems.
Whatever, bring on the Lady Vols!
Brown and blue!
As someone who attended UTSA at one point, I was cracking up at them playing at what must be one of the worst D1 college basketball arenas out there.
Nice 22 point win.
Something I find odd is that FGCU was actually favored to win by ESPN. On their win probability graph, FGCU had a win probability of 59.0% at the start of the game, and after FGCU made the first basket, it shot up to 67.3%. When FGCU had a slim 42-40 lead in the third quarter, their win probability was a fairly robust 61.0%.
I just find that odd since Michigan was a much higher seed, and obviously they handily won.
I would imagine the fancy stats loved them. Shoot a ton of threes, won a ton of games. Came in winning 25 in a row and the closest of those games was 9 points.

Hail to the Victors! Beat TN!
