Some (very impressive) numbers on Morgan

[MilfordHusky]

Morgan Tuck and Bolingbrook had a great 27-2 season. They lost only to Breanna's C-NS team in the Nike TOC and to undefeated powerhouse Whitney Young in the Illinois tourney recently. Morgan's team had won the prior 3 (4?) state titles.

Morgan's season stats: 29.0 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 3.1 apg, 2.7 spg.

Her shooting percentages: FGs: 69%, 3pts 46%, FTs 78%. Yikes!

Perhaps the best stat: GPA: 3.83.

We are going to love Morgan. She is a hard worker who does all the little things, as well as the big things.

WONK - didn't think your timbers shivered any more. (A good post nonetheless)

I forgot to note that. I think it was 4 OTs.

Bolingbrook was a few points from being undefeated.

When I think about Morgan, she reminds me a lot of Asjha Jones. About the same size and build. Nice midrange jumper, can score inside, tough, strong, smart. AJ has had a nice career and is still going strong.

She plays like a truck and she can shoot.

A good 1-sentence description of Morgan's game. Tuck the Truck, a.k.a., Morgan Truck.

To parody the Skylar look with her scarf, here is the Morgan look:

I think Morgan has Asjha's build but a little bit of Swin in her too. That's her ceiling- a Swin/Asjha hybrid. I think most UConn fans would take anything approaching that.

And Bolingbrook's loss to Cicero was by 3 points on a last-second three pointer with 2 seconds left in the game.

Well, was it last-second or last 2 seconds?

That's a nice ceiling! Something like this:
