Despite a tough regular-season schedule, Michigan State Women’s Basketball is still being named as a favorite in the Big Ten this year. Big Ten coaches picked the Spartans to finish second in the conference while the media voted them third. Both the coaches and the media selected Maryland to win the Big Ten.
Shay Colley, the 5’9″ senior guard out of Brampton, Canada, was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team by coaches and the media. Colley was the team’s leading scorer last season, averaging 14.1 points-per-game. MSU will also return two of their other three leading scorers from last season in Nia Clouden and Taryn McCuthceon.
Michigan State and head coach Suzy Merchant went 21-12 last season and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. They will try to capitalize on Colley’s last year of eligibility with a run at the Big Ten title and it looks like that road will go through Maryland this season.
