BALANCED SCORING LEADS THE WAY FOR UOFL WBB IN WIN OVER NOLES
Louisville WBB got off to a hot start and never really let up the gas in a convincing win over FSU Sunday evening in the KFC YUM! Center. The Cards jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first two and one half minutes..thanks to a Laura Ziegler three and rebound bucket and led by 11 in the first quarter before ending the first ten minutes session with a Skylar Jones layup for a 19-10 lead.
The Cards built the lead halfway through the second quarter to 27-14 after two Reyna Scott free throws and took a 34-20 lead into the halftime ocker room...only three Cards scored in the second 10 minutes...Imani Berry with six points, Reyna Scott with five and Grace Mbugna with four.
Louisville pushed the lead out to 19 in the third quarter three minutes into the third quarter with a Reyna Scott layup with three minutes gone in the half to make it 46-27. A Laura Ziegler layup at the 4:13 mark gave the Cards a 20 point lead at 52-32. Rhee quarter ended with the Cards still ccomfortbly ahead at 61-39 after Berry three with 22 seconds left.
The Cards builtthe lead to 81-50 when Grace Mbugna tipped one in with 4:33 to play. FSU did outscore the Cards 15-7 the rest of the way..but Walz had pretty much replaced the starters in the final part of the fourth quarter. Anaya Hardy did score the Cards final three baskets for the 88-65 win.

THE FRED REPORT
FREE THROWS -- The Cards shot 10-18 from the charity stripe. That's not quite 60% and nowhere near the mandated 70% we need to award a letter..so..no letter. Wonder who will be shooting a bunch of free throws next practice? Maybe Elif (0-3) and Skylar (2-4)?
REBOUNDS -- The Cards held a 46-37 edge on the hrbbing of missed shots and that's good enough for a CAPITAL "R" Laura Ziegler had eight for UofL and Mac Randolph had seven.
EFFORT/EXECUTION -- The Cards shot 59.4% from the floor and had only 11 turnovers. That's worthy of a CAPITAL "E"
DEFENSE -- Allowing less that 70 points and forcing 16 turnover over is OK..but FSU just isn't that great this year. I see a small case "d" here
FINAL FRED TALLY _-R-E-d
The log term view? Keep winning and hopes Duke slips up a couple of times, so the cards can win the regular season title. Anything ncan happen.

Louisville Cardinals showed no letdown against a rebuilding FSU squad.
ReplyDeleteCards scored 19 points in the first quarter, 15 in the second quarter, and 27 in both the third and fourth quarters.
Laura is a zone buster - the total package with scoring, passing, and rebounds. Her court vision is off the charts!
Elif Istanbulluoglu is playing at a high level! 🔥🏀 Her transformation is truly impressive, reminiscent of Sam Fuerhing
Imari Berry has Elite talent 🏀🔥🔥🔥
The sophomore class is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🏀
Mackenley is doing a great job on defense, moving her feet and rebounding the ball!
Grace Mbugua Ver.1.0, get extended playing time, she has a pretty 🏀 release and good natural instinct on Defense blocking shots. She's really improving on the court.
The Cards looking good heading down the home stretch three games remaining on the schedule.
