Key points
- Bobongie had 15 points and seven rebounds while being one of five players in double figures for MSU (3-0).
- I'm really excited to continue to play with her and also get her in transition too." The shooting performance Wednesday was the best of the season for Bobongie, who had shot just 31.3% during the Spartans' wins over Valparaiso and Toledo.
- Three of the four freshmen scored in double figures with Kathy-Emma Otto recording a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Lilly Williams overcame a stomach bug to add 12 points, five rebounds and three blocks off the bench.

Additional details
- Bobongie has emerged as a starter for the Spartans and delivered her best game of the young season while contributing to a 91-50 victory over Oakland at Breslin Center on Wednesday, Nov.
- I feel like I stepped up a little bit more this game with my physicality but I could get better with it." The performance by Bobongie was part of a big showing by MSU's freshman class.
