High in the Alps somewhere, there probably are some teams with whom the Swiss National women's basketball team matches up well. Michigan is neither high in the Alps nor fair competition for the short Swiss.
Though the Wolverines weren't flawless, they were dominant in last night's matchup. At the buzzer, Michigan walked off the court with an 84-47 victory over the hapless Swiss at Crisler Arena yesterday.
Swiss cheese: Blue pokes holes in Swiss
It was no surprise last night that with three freshman starters and two newcomers in the wings, a fresh face on the Michigan women's basketball team would be the first to score against the Swiss National Team.
The Swiss recorded the first tally of the game when Myrium Gex-Fabry made two free throws 30 seconds into the game. But that would be their only lead of the game. Half a minute later, Michigan freshman Ruth Kipping scored the first basket of her college career, and the first basket of the '98-'99 women's basketball season.'M' freshmen strut their stuff
Well at least they had a backup - again.

With state pride on the line, the Michigan volleyball team travels to East Lansing tonight to take on the Michigan State in the season's second match of the "State Pride" series.
After dropping the first match of the series in three games, the Wolverines seek redemption this time around.

BCS might be no good - playoffs would be worse
Enough of all this Bowl Championship Stupidity. To even pretend that there is some statistical method of determining the best team in the country is a ludicrous concept. Are we really supposed to believe that because some computer-obsessed number-cruncher can calculate the combined records of Michigan's opponents' opponents' opponents' opponents, that Scott Frost's team was better than Charles Woodson's? Puh-lease.
