Getting to this point has been a journey, but Michigan State junior guard Janai Crooms knows she has found the right destination. Crooms, who was a mainstay in the Ohio State line-up for two seasons, decided to transfer to the Spartans last May.
In crunch time, you always need your superstars to play at the highest level. However, you also need someone who isn’t afraid to do the hard work on the basketball court. Down one late in the fourth against Northwestern, Michigan State needed a stop and they got one from Janai Crooms as she flashed into a passing lane, snatched the ball, and drew a foul to get to the line to tie it up and give her team a chance.
