Talk about a team win; unbelievable contributions from everyone who stepped out on that court.
I am somewhat reluctant to emphasize Jones performance from this incredible team effort, but I honestly believe her energy and athleticism is the key ingredient to our success in this tournament. I know that is difficult to isolate on Morgan’s game, particularly knowing what Mykassa, Hailey, Olivia, Liz and others have done …… it’s just what I see when Jones comes in. I think our girls are better when Morgan is on the floor and engaged.
Morgan’s initial drive and floater for 2 points in the first quarter set the stage for our half court offense, as I do not believe Ole Miss defense was adequately prepared for her ability to move so fast with the ball, and it resulted in difficulty to double team HVL whenever she was on the court. Her 11 points and 7 rebound game last night was essentially absent from the greatest portion of the regular season, but when she plays at the level she is exhibiting right now ……. I am not sure anyone can defend us.
