Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 4512751, member: 6986"] While I agree on Morrow's talent, I also believe Doug Bruno has some major issues to resolve. In rewatching the game, I noticed: -While a great rebounder and inside player, Morrow chucked up 3's throughout the game even after Bruno yelling at her several times. In the second half, much of the DePaul team stood around, apparently knowing that after Morrow touched the ball, no one else would. -The first time Bruno yelled at her, Morrow ignored him and ran down the court. While Bruno took her out of the game, she kept taking wild 3's and didn't seem to want to get in position underneath the basket for shots or rebounds. -On DePaul turnovers, Morrow rarely chased down the UConn player. The most obvious example was when Edwards picked off her dribble, Morrow did not move/never got past halfcourt, leaving Edwards to dribble down most of the court for an uncontested layup. -On defense, Morrow frequently went for the steals, usually leaving Dorka or Edwards for easy layups. Appeared she did not want to do the hard, physical work of defending a bigger player. I agree with Nan's comments that Morrow is only a Soph and still is learning but this does not absolve her from having to hustle, listen to her coach, or do the dirty work under the basket. At times, she seemed intimidated by the equally physical UConn players. Doug Bruno has a lot of challenges if he intends to continue to build around her. Rarely does a team with a 25 point a game scorer lose this many games but after watching the recent DePaul game, I understand why this is happening. [/QUOTE]
