Purdue Women's Basketball Preview - the Sophomores

A quick look at the roster for the 2015-2016 season will show that 8 players on this team are either freshmen or sophomores. So this is the proverbial young team situation. This is not quite in the same category as our football team using the "We are a young team" excuse for terrible play. (Even though I put most of the blame for that on the coaches.) That being said, this sophomore class really needs to earn more playing time and score a lot more points, in addition to other needed contributions. One of the positives from last season was the drastic improvement in the play of Ashley Morrissette from her freshman to sophomore seasons.
