Week 6 preview (Dec. 13-19)

[Orangutan]

So I watched the DePaul-ND game and watched both Westbeld and Dodson (50 points) have their way with Aneesah Morrow (19 pts, 10 reb, 6 Turnovers!, 5 fouls) who, yes, she is a nice add for DePaul but is still drastically undersized to play the post position for a team with high asperations of a post-season run. I still like Caroline as a better freshman considering what she did against Louisville.

I was impressed by Morrow. I was skeptical of what she could do against ND going against a grad student whose strength is her defense in Dodson. I thought still scoring 19 points on 50% shooting was pretty darn good.

I guess fouling out and having 6 turnovers are a little less good but I think she's for real. Probably shouldn't end up FOY (though she might because DePaul's pace will inflate her stats) but she's a good player.

I did like the way ND moved the ball, handled the comeback and the calmly regained the control. Nice job by all-Niele's coaching, Miles distributing, Dodson inside presence (that had to be her best game ever!), Maddie's play and heck, even Abby Prohaska was pretty impressive (shout out to @Dillon77 to prove I can be fair!).

Thankfully the game was on FS1 so I didn't have to mute the half-time show of any obnoxious former coaches spewing drivel....
