The Michigan State women's basketball team decided to call it a season.
The Spartans, who finished the season on a mini-roll, were invited to the 64-team WNIT tournament, but they declined to participate, an athletic-department spokesperson confirmed late Sunday night.
The team didn't put out a statement, but according to the spokesperson, Kara Fisher, players decided against playing because of all the adversity they'd gone through this season. Michigan State played the last 10 games of the season without its head coach, Suzy Merchant, who has been sidelined since suffering an undisclosed medical episode that contributed to a single-car accident in late January.
