The Lady Cards test West Virginia this afternoon in women's basketball. A tough test, for sure...after a slow start to the season, West Virginia has been playing very good basketball lately and is in a five-way tie for third place in the BIG EAST...along with Louisville.

The Lady Mountaineers are 11-2 at home and only Georgetown has won there for visiting BIG EAST teams.

Game time is 4 p.m. We'll have a full recap of it for you later this afternoon. Due to the men's game today, the radio broadcast will be on 1080 AM. Puggles and Snuggles with the call.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET $2 TICKETS FOR THE UofL WBB game against UConn Tuesday Night. UofL ticket office, selected Kroger outlets and from that shady guy who's always standing on the corner of Bardstown and Taylorsville Roads (j/k).

The BIG EAST has thrown the Lady Cards a curve ball by scheduling this one and the upcoming Notre Dame game during the week. Let's show them that CARDINAL WBB Fans represent no matter when they make us play.
