That she’s starting and apparently playing a valuable role for a team that just upset a top 10 team. Which is more that we can say about Missouri this year, I don’t think we are remotely capable of beating a top 10 team. So it’s nice that Dembele is finishing her career and starting somewhere else.
She’s averaging 6 points a game, so not scoring was an anomaly, but then, she only took 2 shots the entire game. Had a decent stat line besides the points, but they aren’t relying on her to be a big scorer obviously. Which is good because she’s still a low percentage shooter from the field. But playing 40 minutes against a top 10 team and only turning the ball over once is pretty impressive.
I imagine she’s playing so much because she’s a relentless, pesky defender which was one of her strengths here.
