Last week, the USC Trojans claimed the most significant win, while the Duke Blue Devils suffered the most disappointing loss. Here’s a look back at other memorable moments from women’s college basketball’s pre-Christmas action:
A peek at the statistical leaderboard
As the action briefly pauses for a Christmas break, it’s worth checking out the leaders in major statistical categories. Which players will maintain their nation-pacing production and analytically-impactful play? Could numbers get even bigger in the new year?
Scoring: Ta’Niya Latson (Florida State)
The Florida State junior is averaging 27.2 points per game, outpacing Notre Dame sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo (25.8) and USC sophomore guard JuJu Watkins (24.8), who rank second and third, respectively.
Rebounding: Aneesah Morrow (LSU)
At 14.0 rebounds per game, the LSU senior wing commandingly controls the boards, with a comfortable advantage over the 12.2 rebounds per game averaged by Wisconsin junior forward Serah Williams and SMU senior center Jessica Peterson.
Assists: Naudia Evans (Loyola Marymount), Katie Dinnebier (Drake)
The senior guards from Loyola Marymount and Drake both have dropped 7.3 dimes per game, edging out Kentucky grad guard Georgia Amoore’s 7.0 per game.
