Only a freshman, but she's going to be good. Pesky defender. Good penetrator, and vocal already, which is difficult sometimes for young point guards. I was very impressed so I thought I'd share.

She was a beast in high school because she had the light to go get her shot. I'd like to see some offensive sets where she's given the opportunity to attack and not waiting until someone sets her up.

She's established herself as a three point threat, that should open up more opportunities for her to use the three point shot to fake and drive or pull up for the mid range shot. Not sure if she's being encouraged to do so. She's a scorer who happens to have a very good three point shot, she's not a three point shooter exclusively.

WE get Sara White for home broadcast, and she announces like she's unfamiliar with the program. She's horrible.

I agree with your assessment. We don't know what's happening behind the scenes, but where is the player that is willing to be the agitator? The player that can call the team out and the team responds? Walz can only do so much in terms of prodding them to get it together. They need a player to be the extension of the coach's voice and instructions Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412382148154635855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-16486171939506882412017-01-06T21:09:43.937-05:002017-01-06T21:09:43.937-05:00One more comment - when the Cards set up for the t...One more comment - when the Cards set up for the trick play at Duke, I said to my wife "gosh, I hope they know which basket is theirs this half."

We were two rows behind the Louisville bench for both games. There were 10-12 Cardinal fans at Duke and about that number at UVA. Among those at UVA were Moore's grandfather and a couple of Zambrotta's family.<br /><br />I'm going to make another post about the experiences at Cameron and John Paul Jones in a day or two, but a few quick comments -<br /><br />Walz seemed more befuddled than upset by all the turnovers at Duke. Not that he didn't get pretty hot a few times.<br /><br />Jackson certainly appeared ill at Duke and I didn't see her usual fire and enthusiasm at UVA.<br /><br />Walz coached his butt off in the second half at UVA. He was like a traffic cop moving players around when UVA was trying to get the ball up court against our press, and he called plays pretty much every possession when Cards were in their half-court offense.<br /><br />I learned a lot from Walz's in-game comments. Most of them are printable. He does a lot of teaching with the comments that he makes to the bench players as the game continues.<br /><br />One player (I'll withhold the name) got beat on defense and Walz turned to the bench and said "just like in practice." Then he yanked her from the game.<br /><br />Best quote of the two games: As Durr was walking to the free throw line with 31 seconds left in OT at UVA, after throwing up an air ball moments before, Walz smiled as he yelled to her "do you need a breather?" She smiled right back at him and knocked down the free throws.<br /><br />More later.........

I just think Jeff should encourage her to score in a variety of ways I think she is 5-26 from three in last two games. But I agree with the group there is def something missing from this group with 5 or 6 McDonald's all Americans we should be better.

Also when you do get the chance and make mistake after mistake what do you expect or think is going to happen your gonna get yanked!
