WBB resumes tonight against ODU -- Monday Cardinal Couple



CARDS LOOK TO GET BACK TO WINNING WAYS VS. ODU



With final exams out of the way, the #10 University of Louisville women's basketball team takes to Denny Crum Court for a Monday 7 p.m. game against the Old Dominion Monarchs.

ODU (5-2) enters tonight's contest on a two-game win streak. They downed Howard 75-52 at home and last time out, they knocked off VCU 66-44 back on Dec. 5th. Louisville will be the third ACC opponent head coach Karen Barefoot's team has faced this season...losing to Duke 82-66 on Nov. 20th. and beating Virginia Tech 69-62 on Nov. 25th.


Jennie Simms leads ODU in scoring (16.9) and is second in rebounds (6.9). Chelsea Painter is also a double figure scorer with 11.0 ppg and grabs 6.4 a game. Destinee Young averages 7.6 rebounds a game and has blocked 14 shots this season. Tiffany Minor is an outside threat...she nailed four of them against VCU. ODU allows a scant 55.0 points a game.

The Monarchs play in Conference USA and were selected to finish sixth in pre-season voting.

For Louisville, it'll be interesting to see how they respond after their first loss of the season and a week to think about it. Myisha Hines-Allen (15.4 ppg) is 10th. in ACC scoring and fellow freshman Mariya Moore contributes 14.0 a contest.

In the series, ODU holds a 3-1 advantage...beating the Cards 69-65 the last time they met -- in Norfolk, VA back on November 26th, 2010.


The Cards hit the road after tonight's game...heading to Grand Canyon College for a Thursday 10 p.m. EST game and then to Cal for a Sunday 5 p.m. matchup. After that, it's the 2014 finale and last non-conference game before ACC play when Louisville hosts Evansville Monday Dec. 29th. @ 7 p.m.

  2. Cal down six spots to 24 this week. Not good for either of us.
