I hope we are ready to play because Virginia almost upset North Carolina State last week in North Carolina.
Louisville vs Virginia
- Thread starter KozmasAgain
- Start date
When we are in transition we are a really good team when aren’t in transition we really struggle.
Good 1st half Cards up by 15 Curry ends the half with 5 3 pointers. We look good as a team running in transition. Virginia is playing a zone and they haven’t come out of it luckily we are hitting out side shots. We are also out rebounding Virginia. I don’t want to get to confident because we had a 13 point lead earlier in the 1st half and Virginia cut it down to 6 real quick.
I hope the team continues to keep up their defensive intensity for more than the first half.
I really liked the response when UVA made their mini-run. What I really like is the defensive intensity. They have to bring that every game and bring it all game long. Very good ball movement as well.
Struggling to score here in the 3d and UVA is making some shots. Like to see Cards get the ball in the point s little more.
We finish the 3rd quarter strong end it with a 17 point lead. I like the defense and I like the up tempo game I think that is where we are at our best. I also like every player on the team going for loose balls and rebounds.
#35 for Virginia is killing us down low when she goes to her left. She can not go to her right she is awful when she does.
So…why are we not really over-playing her left hand? Makes no sense. Olivia and Nyla are a bit slow footed and Lattimore just just goes right around them. Plus, Olivia and Nyla just can’t jump. Lattimore can jump and she has gone up and snagged rebounds right over our posts.
Gotta say…i’m PO’d right now. UVA is not shooting well from outside - at all! Go ZONE!! He used some zone in the first half. Our defense has lost intensity and I am seeing tired legs. Substituting in the second half is not what we saw in the first half. I hope they can pull this off but we are seeing the same (hate to say it) choking when this squad gets a reasonable lead.
I am old enough to never bad mouth a road conference win but that was very stinky.
1) 2-15 FG in the 4thQ. All season at critical times or against the better teams, we have gone cold.
2) UVA scored 52 points in the paint. I have rarely seen a team give up so many straight line driving layups and never seen a UL women's team do it.
We are 6-3 in the ACC, but I'm not kidding myself.

Dominating first half. Won this one with very good defense and outstanding rebounding effort. +12 on the boards, including Olivia with 11 and Taj Roberts with 9. Jayda was on fire in that first half, and her teammates were very unselfish in finding her for the open three.
Defense on that last possession was outstanding, and the tenacity to win multiple of those 50/50 balls on our last offensive possession was huge.
