Richards is such a great passer. Sometimes it looks like she's about to put up an ill-advised shot, and then she just passes it off for an assist.

If Aquira, Smith, Egbo, Bickle, and Honesty are on Morris and Richards level, I don't want to play Baylor.

Hell, if 2 of those are on that level, it's going to be rough.

Summary, no one can defend a Kalani, no one on the floor is as quick as Morris.

Morris to Cox to Brown bucket

Great movement

Morris is down after a collision and going to timeout, but they missed Morris having a hard time getting up. Looked like ankle or banged knees.

She made 3-11 today, so I'm not sure about the timing of the "great" adjective.

Missed some easy ones, but played great on defense and made great passes as well. Therefore, she is great

You're absolutely right about her shooting percentage - she is still a work in progress in that department. But she was just nothing short of outstanding on defense and rebounding and pure out hustle this afternoon. I'm loving what I see in her. She's got such long arms that allow her to get steals, rebounds, or swats out to teammates. And she's plenty quick for someone of her height. I'm really enjoying watching these freshmen grow up on the court . That short bench is going to pay huge dividends down the line.

Field goal percentage hasn't been the best for Didi all season, but she still brings so much more to the team. Stout defense, unselfish passing, and hustle all around is why she's getting the minutes she deserves. While her jumper wasn't hitting today, she's still been great for the team and will only continue to get better.
