UL at UK will be a major challenge

[2330859]

For the first time in my memory, I have little expectation to leave Lexington with a win. Brooks has Amoore along with one of the tallest rosters in all of WCBB.

Jeff will unlikely give so many non-starters as much floor time as he did against UT Martin, but that could be exhaustive for our top 5 or 6.

Go Lady Cards!

 

[Bardman]

Agreed. It is early, young team and on the road. Just play well and whatever happens, happens.

 

[Bardman]

Playing….ok. Down 1 at the end but f the first. Amoore getting away with a lot of contact. Imani needs to just slow down. She had the athleticism to beat defenders off the dribble; she seems to be rushing a bit. Earth to Olivia - there’s a game going on. Rebound and stop turning the ball over.

 

[Bardman]

Cards up by 3 at half. Not shooting well. Olivia…I don’t know. We were playing better with Elif in the lineup. Nyla, Randolf and Cochran should be able to draw fouls. They need to ball fake a little more. The team is hustling…just a little scattered.

 

[Bardman]

Cats go big and go to a zone. Jeff has one outside shooter in the game, makes no adjustment and we are now behind for the first time in the game. 😤

 

[Bardman]

Going down to the wire. The announcers, go figure, are Blue homers. Haven’t heard them mention one time that we are playing w/o our starting PG. They have mentioned the great sellout crowd in historic memorial gym about 50 times.

 

[Bardman]

Cochran shooting us out of this game. She missed two, consecutive pretty easy shots. Win or lose this group has played hard on the road in a hostile environment. I think they are going to be a good team…it will take some time for the group to mature.

 

[KozmasAgain]

The freshmen are the ones doing everything.

 

[Bardman]

Looks bleak with 35 secs left. Our two most experienced players have not come through-Cochran and Harris (who just missed an easy layup). Loving Williams’ game!

 

[Bardman]

The freshmen are the ones doing everything.

Gotta credit Williams too. She has had a Very good game. Imani slowed herself down and started showing what she is capable of.

 

[Bardman]

OT. I’ll be glad when Amoore is out of eligibility.

 

[Bardman]

Yep, our returning players have been our biggest weakness tonight. Olivia’s defense has been pretty good - her offense terrible. Nyla - just bad. Russell - overall, not good.

When you shoot 57% from foul line, and 40% from the field, you aren't gonna win many. Our upper class are the ltoblem. Just like they were the part two or three years.

 

[KozmasAgain]

The positive thing is our freshmen are really good and sUcKs freshen didn’t show anything. The Va Tech transfers were the show for sUcK. I agree with CJW if he can keep this freshmen class together for the next couple of years it will be a special team. I am not counting out this year, when we get Curry back she could change things. There is a lot of upside to this team playing 2 top 20 teams one on a neutral court and on on the opponents court and we kept it close.
