With the final chapter written on the 2012-13 MSU women’s basketball season Monday night in College Park, Md., head coach Suzy Merchant finally admitted it. She finally spoke on the one thing that she refused to believe — or at least state publicly — the entire season: the short-handed Spartanswere affected by fatigue and a lack of depth throughout the year. “We were just whipped,” she said following the season-ending 74-49 loss to Maryland. “Mentally, we were tired and just not the attacking team we’ve been. That part was disappointing. We were better than what we showed tonight.”

Suzy Merchant proud of team's season, disappointed in final game Detroit Free Press
“For us, we started the season with basically five scholarship kids,” she said. One of those five was forward Annalise Pickrel, but she could only play 20 minutes because of his recent shoulder surgery.
“I mean, to see where this group is at is inspiring. That’s why I’m emotional for this group because I’m just so proud of them. I’m disappointed at how it ended because we’re a better team than we showed,” Merchant said.

“It’s not an easy way to lose, and we just didn’t play the way we had been playing,” Merchant said. “But give Maryland a lot of credit, Alyssa Thomas really was impossible for us to get stopped at any point, and it just obviously steamrolled from there.”

Michigan State's Klarissa Bell didn't score a single point. Maryland's Alyssa Thomas finished with 28. As much as anything, that explains what happened Monday night when the Spartans were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament. Their top offensive player this season remained in a slump, while the Terrapins' top threat dominated in a 74-49 victory that advanced Maryland to the round of 16.

Pickrel has come off the bench as well been a starter for the Spartans this season and has seen success in both roles. She has played down low in the post and she has hurt teams with her shooting ability.
