The time is here and it's March Madness. Everyone filled out brackets in the office, besides me. Most people are excited to watch the tournament. I like to watch it too, but I really like to watch the women's tournament. The women play just as hard as the men, but they are always overlooked. But that is nothing new.Last night the Michigan State Spartans beat Kentucky Wildcats 67-63 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. MSU will play the winner of Tuesday's Duke-Southern California game in Bridgeport, Conn., on Sunday, March 28.
I really started following MSU last year because the best player I've ever seen, Tiffanie Shives from Lansing Christian decided she was going to continue her career at Michigan State. Tiffanie was the 2005 Michigan Miss Basketball as a senior, averaging 25.1 points, 8.0 assists, 5.2 steals and 4.4 rebounds. She led Lansing Christian to a
26-1 record and the 2005 Class D state championship as a senior. Tiffanie set the state's career 3-point basket record with 311, and ranks second with 653 career assists and seventh with 2,283 career points and 441 steals. I'm telling you this girl can play.This year at MSU, her role has been different. She doesn't get to play that much. She is only a freshman and some seniors, Lindsay Bowen and Liz Shimek will graduate this year. Hopefully, Tiffanie will be able to play more next season. But only time will tell.
