Suzy Merchant is excited for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team, which has become the darling of the NCAA Women’s Tournament, having made the Sweet 16.
“That’s my alma mater,” Merchant said. “Fire up, Chips! Gotta love it.”
What Merchant doesn’t have to love is how this season played out at Michigan State, which still is trying to make the most of things in the second-tier WNIT.
The Spartans are through the first two rounds — thanks to a last-second game-winner from redshirt sophomore guard Shay Colley in Monday’s 68-66 victory over Toledo at Breslin Center in East Lansing.
