Michigan State mowed down Oklahoma for the Spartans' biggest win this year.

OU's Courtney Paris made State look like a team without a center. The first-year finished with 29 and 21; State couldn't do anything about it except foul her (she made most of her second-half free throws, too), and State's big run came when Paris had left the floor with two fouls.

But State played fast and smart; they made OU look like a team without guards-- and without power forwards, for that matter. Liz Shimek had a superb first half, ending up with 25 and 14; State's Haynes and Bowen shot well enough to protect the lead. (As the TV announcers noted again and again, Bowen thinks like a shooting guard, not like a point guard: she works best when she can get herself open and use screens.)

MSU coach McCallie praised Shimek and warned against overconfidence: "We're going against LSU next. We're going against the best center in the country, by far. I guess this is an interesting couple games."

Oklahoma guard Erin Higgins summed up: "Courtney can't win games by herself."
