ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands — Jene Morris plays so hard on the basketball court, sometimes she sees stars. Those who have watched her the last three years at San Diego State simply see a star.
Morris’ tireless play nearly brought the Aztecs back from a 15-point deficit in the final seven minutes against fifth-ranked Notre Dame here Thursday in the first game of the prestigious Paradise Jam women’s basketball tournament. Morris hit four three-pointers down the stretch to finish with a season-high 32 points and added six steals as SDSU pulled within 79-77 in the final minute. The Irish (5-0) hit five key free throws down the stretch to hang on, 84-79, handing the 23rd-ranked Aztecs their first loss of the season.
Morris played 36 grueling minutes in the heat and humidity of the Virgin Islands’ Sports and Fitness Center and never let up, her great athleticism and will overcoming the opressive conditions.
“I was pretty much out there seeing stars in the second half,” said Morris, a senior from San Francisco who transfered to SDSU from California following her freshman season. “I just had to keep going.”
Less than 24 hours later, Morris had little left in the tank, scoring eight points to just miss becoming the 17th Aztec woman in history to reach the 1,000-point plateau for her career. The Aztecs fell to 20th-ranked Oklahoma, 87-48, to fall to 3-2 on the season. Continue Reading →
