Louisville vs Ga Tech

[KozmasAgain]

This is going to be a tough game it will definitely show us what we need to work on.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Good first quarter 18-13 Cards.

Just noticed Berry is out.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Why is Berry out is it an injury?

 

[Bardman]

I think it is her shoulder. She played limited minutes the other day and while on the bench she had an ice pack on her shoulder.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Ga Tech #13 15-1 record and at halftime we lead by 14. I hope the 2nd half is as good for us as the 1st half. We are so much better when we get into our transition game going.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Up by 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter but Tech cut 7 points off our lead before the end of the quarter. We are going to have to play better bro win this game Tech is capable of winning this if we don’t play smart. I hope we don’t slow it and play not to lose because we are better when we play fast.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Hang on fans it looks like we are playing not to lose instead of playing to win

 

[KozmasAgain]

It would suck if we lose this game and that is what happens when you quit doing what works. This reminds me of the Oklahoma game.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Thankfully we are going to win this 69-60 but it got close. Tech had it down to 6 we just quit doing what was working and we almost paid the price for it. I guess you could say we bent but didn’t break. Good defense overcame the bad offense in the 4th quarter.

Great updates, Kozmas. Looked like the Cards were trying to use as much of the shot clock as possible for at least the last six minutes. Definitely lost some of the offensive rhythm that was so very good for much of the first three quarters.

Major respect to Jaleah Williams for battling down the stretch, with multiple key rebounds, a big steal, and a dagger of a 15 foot jumper. Very glad to see her playing up to her considerable potential.

Same concerns as you expressed Koz; as difficult as it is for me to ever criticize CJW, I felt like he contributed to the GT comeback late in the game.

There was an 11 minute span, beginning with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, that ended with about 90 seconds left in the game, in which time GT outscored the Lady Cards by 12 points, cutting our lead down to 5 points, before we scored the last 4 points to secure the win. During that critical 11 minutes, Jada only took two (2) shots, albeit she missed both 3s, however aside from her only taking two shots, my issue is not having Jada driving into the paint when GT's Dunn was guarding her, as Dunn was playing with 4 fouls, and it was evident that GT had Dunn intentionally avoiding any contact defensively; yet there was no effort to take advantage of GT's primary offensive weapon.

Aside from my observation, it was truly a great win and it puts UL back into contention to compete in the ACC.

 

[Bardman]

Very good win. GT going to an one really slowed the Cards down. Then, they went back to man-to-man and then back to zone. These switches make the offense reset themselves and figure out what to do. Not sure why CJW won’t switch up his D on occasion when the other tram is surging a bit.

Great win, got very scary at the end of the fourth quarter. I couldn't tell if their zone was confusing us or we just tried to slow it down to much. It didn't help that we could hit any three's at that time.
