  • With eight Big Ten teams ranked in the Week 6 AP poll, more than any other league, the Big Ten is evidently a strong conference. Though Northwestern isn't one of those ranked teams, it still represented a different caliber of competition and a new challenge for Michigan's fresh faces, and a type of competition they'll need to get used to.

The article from The Michigan Daily discusses the integration of Michigan's women's basketball freshmen into Big Ten play. Freshmen like Jordan Hobbs, Katy Eidle, and Macy Brown have been pivotal in recent games, stepping up in the absence of key players like Laila Phelia due to injury. Hobbs has shown significant improvement, particularly in her defensive skills and shooting, highlighted by her performance against Penn State where she scored 11 points. Eidle has been a reliable substitute, contributing with her shooting and defensive presence. Macy Brown, although less highlighted, has also played crucial minutes. The article emphasizes the freshmen's adaptation to the competitive nature of Big Ten basketball, their growing confidence, and their importance to the team's strategy moving forward, especially as they prepare for upcoming games against formidable opponents like Indiana and Iowa.
