- Dangerous Memphis next for #5 WBB
*************GAME FINAL************
Shoni Schimmel hit nine threes in Louisville's 88-61 win over Memphis. Eight in the first half. Jenny O'Bryan will have the review in the Monday edition of Cardinal Couple
****************************************************************
The Louisville Cardinals host the Memphis Tigers on
Sunday. The tip for the game is 1:00
p.m. and will be televised on ESPNU.
The Tigers are 10-9 overall, and 3-4 in conference play,
holding steady in the middle of the pack of the AAC standings. The marquee win of the season for the
Tigers was at home against Rutgers.
Memphis held on to win that game, edging out the Scarlet Knights, 74-73. A puzzling win for the Tigers came against
Houston (think cellar dweller here in the AAC, 0-7 in conference play) by a
48-40 margin. Just how good is this
team, and how much should the Cardinals worry?
The Tigers start a young team, 4 underclassmen and one
senior. They love to run their offense,
and if they get hot early, the Cardinals will need to watch out. When scoring 70 or more points this season,
the Tigers are 8-1. The key here for the
Cardinals will be to come out strong defensively and not let the Tigers get in
to any kind of offensive rhythm. This team is athletic, and when managing
their turnovers, can really put numbers up.
Sophomore Asianna Fuqua-Bey is looking to extend her hot
hand in this one. In the last two games
She is also the leading rebounder for the Tigers
pulling down 7.6 boards per game. The
Cardinals will look to keep Fuzua-Bey quiet in this one.
She has been in double digits and looks to be more confident in her
shooting.
The Tigers are led in scoring by sophomore Ariel Hearn who
is averaging 17.8 pts. per game. Breigha
Wilder-Cochran rounds out the scoring for Memphis averaging 9 pts per
game.
The Cardinals, on paper, should win this game going
away. The slow starts from this team,
though, could instill confidence in the Tiger players especially if they start
out hot, offensively. The Cardinals will
need to come mentally prepared to hit the floor running.
Memphis is prone to turnovers. With a strong defensive effort from the Cards
I can see a lot of points in transition.
Likewise, Memphis likes to play uptempo offensively. A good defensive effort should take them out
of their offense and play to the liking of the Cardinals with transition
scoring.
A strong defensive effort, limiting turnovers while
executing defensively, creating turnovers will be a recipe for a Cardinal
win.
The game is
National Girl and Women in Sports Day.
Former U of L female athletes will be in attendance. It is also Girl Scout day at the YUM
Center. Activities are planned for
troops at noon, prior to the 1:00 tip.
It
should be a fun crowd in attendance on Sunday.
Get down to the YUM Center to enjoy the festivities.

We just need to bring the Boom on the defensive side from the tip off. We have enough offensive firepower that it will take care of itself if we play shut down defense from the get go. It will also be a great dress rehearsal for Rutgers and UConn.
ReplyDeleteFast start. An opening 7-0 by the Tigers would be tough to overcome. This is a challenge to the WBB players who read the site. Bring it for 40 minutes today. Is it in you?
ReplyDeleteShame this rivalry has to end so soon after it got restarted. Our Tiger Ladies are a quizzical bunch. Handle a very good Rutgers lineup and underperform against a sorry Houston team. I fear we'll see a UConn type game. We will stay close for awhile but Louisville's better talent will eventually pull away. I'll be watching my ladies on TV down here in Memphis. Hope it's a good game and it would be great if we could come in and leave with a win. It probably isn't going to happen though. Like Louisvillle, we cannot seem to put 40 minutes of good play together.

oh yeah. forgot to add.i like your site. especially the right sie.i haven't seen petticoat junction clips in 30 years. excellent
ReplyDeleteBartlett baller
Thanks for checking us out, Bartlett! As I've said before, your Memphis WBB team is a quandry to me. Hope the team that played UConn and Houston shows up.
