• Like the Irish, they love to run. They embrace the transition game, although in the second half the pace may not be as swift.
• Like the Irish, they have two bigs, Jenna Allen, 6’4”, leading scorer (though not in average) and rebounder, and Sidney Cooks, 6’4”, who may not start but plays around 20 minutes a game and had an outstanding game against Central Michigan.
• Like the Irish, Michigan State spreads the wealth. They had 5 players score in double figures in their game against CMU.
• Unlike the Irish, at least according to Muffet McGraw, they play a pesky defense, especially Taryn McCutcheon and Colley Shay, with each averaging almost 2 steals per game. Shay may be their best player and was their "go-to" player on the last drive of the game to beat CMU.
• Unlike the Irish, they have a freshman, Nia Clouden, who plays about 30 minutes a game and scores over 12 per game.
• Unlike the Irish, they have no high school All Americans. Their last one was Taya Reimer.
