The Lady Bears came out strong on Saturday, but the game came down to the wire. Thankfully it ended as a win, furthering themselves in the conference standings and sealing my last home Lady Bear game of my college career. I think I have photographed more women’s basketball games during my four years at MSU than any other sport. Even though they are just 40 minute games every week during the winter months, it has really helped me develop my skills of shooting on a deadline, always keeping my camera up, looking for photos besides game action and capturing emotion.
