Morgan must have had some great practice sessions over the past few days. Way to go, Morgan.

Forget the "doghouse" nonsense. It is speculation with no foundation of knowledge. And it has no useful purpose.
We have no idea why Doty is sitting. It may well be to rest her knee for the ND game.

This isn't a big surprise to me...and I'd caution anyone against reading too much into this regarding Doty...Morgan is a rare talent, and came into WCBB much readier for the game than most top-flight high school talent. If her injuries are truly behind her, Geno now has a power forward that can match up well with the top echelon teams we'll meet in the Final Four.
I think her style of play is suited better for the transition from HS to NCAA game. Its solid fundamentals without any fancy finishes. I think she gets too anxious to finish at times, but its become clear shes starting to become more comfortable with her shots as well as her role in the UCONN offense as a whole. Where Moriah had (well still has) the ability to blow past her defenders in HS, shes now facing a defense that is much stronger/taller to shoot over than shes been used to for the most part making finshing/seeing the court much more difficult. As for breanna, strength is the biggest issue. HS ball is nowhere near as physical as big east play... smaller bodies, less inclined to bump each play. Once she gets used to a few bumps and bruises as well as giving a few herself I think she'll transform into a true threat day in/day out

I think Morgan's the better player, and the better player deserves to start.
