earlier in the year. Earlier in the year, it seemed like they had no presence down low. But, Edwards and Feagin have really stepped up. Early they had a big named Watkins that they used a lot, but who was pretty mid. They have a good inside game they didn't have earlier.
Then, Kitts and Fulwiley seem like completely different players. Earlier in the year, they kept taling about Kitts and I couldn't understand why. My impression from across the country is that she went 0-fer in a big game (maybe against UConn?) and she has been en fuego since then. Like, a completely different player. And, Fulwiley's transformation this season needs no comment.
On the flipside, early in the season, I thought SoCaro's backcourt trio of Pao-Pao, Raven and Tessa Johnson was one of the best backcourts in the country. They don't jump off the screen at all anymore.
Staley has really transformed the team. Got a lot more offensive options and still presumably has the outstanding defense from Pao-Pao, and the Johnsons.
I know nothing about Duke. They're playing well. Go Blue Devils!
