"She wasn't supposed to be able to shoot like that," senior guard Alexis Jones said of William. "But, it was difficult to get (through all the) screens. If you followed her, she was probably going to take you off the dribble. If you try to go over the top, they were moving and bringing up the screen a little higher. So, when she caught the ball, she was just pulling it. It was just her night for those things to go in."
They haven't watched Morgan play very much then. The only reason Morgan doesn't average 20 ppg is because Morgan doesn't shoot as often as she should.
Absolutely 100% correct. All the espn pundits were talking about how she only averaged 3.5 points per game in ncaa tourney's 1st three games, but her points weren't needed in those 1st three games. Why don't they (and apparently baylor scouting reports) look at the 10 ppg she averaged in regular season? They all act like she came out of nowhere and we're lucky she decided to show up for that one game.Quote:

She also already set the career assists record with another 2 games and a season to go.Quote:

But if you are only scouting based on the tourney then you aren't doing your job. (Referring to Baylor)Quote:

This isn't a knock on Morgan or an excuse for Baylor but she's definitely not a good 3pt shooter & normally doesn't attempt a ton. That's how I knew she was feeling it she was coming off those screens instead of curling she was fading to the corner for the 3.Quote:

Best quote I ever heard while watching The Voice one night, "you don't have to be great all the time, just when it matters"!
There was definitely a lack of respect when that game started from Baylor to MSU.Quote:
