I just got to where I can watch the game I can’t believe nobody posted a thread. Anyway we need to do a better job defending the 3
Louisville vs North Carolina
- Thread starter KozmasAgain
- Start date
The only thing keeping UNC in the game is the 3 I would rather extend the defense to the 3 point line and sacrifice the 2 pointer.
Up by 6 neither team is able to stop the other team from scoring. This means this game is going down to the wire.
Horrible call as usual for that ref to disallow the basket on Curry's charge. She shot it way before she charged.
I have little use for Cochran and Williams. Cochran can’t make layups or free throws and Williams is a women wrecking crew for the other team.
I love watching the girls but the stuff they fail to do like holding on to the ball when it's in their hands drives you crazy.
Williams does good at the same time she does bad. The main problem with her is she lowers her head and turns her self into a wrecking ball.
Walz has got to find post players via transfer or high school who have strong hands and can jump higher than six inches off the ground. Cochran and Harris neither have strong hands and neither can jump which leads to missed layups and missed loose balls.
They both are pretty good rebounders and play decent defense, but both are at a disadvantage when they switch on defense. Walz had to use Russell at the PF position when Harris got her 4th foul. He has at least three options on the bench but has to use a taller guard instead.
For some reason, Walz has not been able to recruit upper level post players and he has to rely on multiple short guards to win games. It's why he hasn't won it all yet and he won't if he doesn't start landing some front court all conference players.
Also, he should of put his best defender on that freshman (Grant) who was on fire. Yet, she continued to get open shots.

I agree on recruiting good bigs we just aren’t doing it and I don’t know why. You are not going to be a contender without good bigs.
I am watching sUcK vs LSU women’s game sUcK is up by 14. Big Blew has 6’7”, 6’5”, 6’4” and 6’3” players LSU doesn’t have any player over 6’3”. LSU has some of the best players in the country they just don’t have size this year. We should take page from Bug Blew and recruit some talented bigs.
We were destroying them mid 2nd quarter and quickly changed both of our bigs, and Curry. Quit full pressure against a team down two starters!!! UNC started hitting uncontested threes as we would try and found ball handler. They found their touch and kept it. Most of their threes were uncontested!!! Poor play and very poor coaching decisions. Do our assistant get involved as much as a previous staff?
This Louisville teams has some fundamental problems that the players need to correct. Their on ball defense is terrible and they give up basline drives too easily. Playing defense is about pride, effort and desire. Running along side the dribbler with your arms in the air is not defense. You play defense with your feet and not outstretched arms.
We have had some good bigs in the past but we haven’t had any since Shook graduated. Cochran is our big and she is 6’3” not exactly a big in today’s world. Whatever happened to the 6’6” player we have? I hope the 6’5” player coming in next year is good enough to play right away.
She is still on the team I wish they could get Cara Cresse to play basketball. She is 6’6” and she actually jumps imagine how many rebounds and blocked shots she would have. She would make a lot more money playing pro basketball than pro volleyball.
