Next Up...UK -- Saturday Cardinal Couple



7-1 Cats still looking for some answers

It's hard to imagine that a team that is #13 in the nation would still be searching for an identity a quarter of the way through the season, but the University of Kentucky women's basketball team feels it has unanswered questions and things to resolve before facing in-state rival #7 Louisville on Sunday in the KFC YUM! Center. 

 A less than impressive 82-64 win over Northern Kentucky Wednesday night comes after UK went 2-1 in Virgin Islands...losing to Illinois 77-71 and struggling in wins with South Florida 61-57 and Oklahoma 92-88 in the Paradise Island Jam. 

 It's a Kentucky team that owned Baylor late in a 74-64 win but struggled with Central Michigan 71-68.

One thing UK hasn't been shy about is giving up points. Their 70 points a game allowed is last in the SEC.  Their 40.9 % opponent's shooting stats are last in the SEC as well.

 Although the Cats schedule has been hectic...they'll have a three-day practice stretch before facing Louisville. 

 Makayla Epps welcomes the gym time:

 " This practice time is going to be essential. We took a loss
early which lets us know where we are as a team and what we have to improve on....it'll make us better in the long run." 

 You really should consider attending this one. If cash flow is a little low....you can get tickets for $2 at Kroger just by showing your Kroger Card. 

CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR TODAY


We'll have more on the Sunday matchup tomorrow and it'll be a topic of discussion on today's CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR on WCHQ 100.9 FM at 11 a.m.

 Today's show will be hoops, hoops and more hoops...as we catch up on the five WBB's win since we were on the air last. 

 It's always jolly, good fun when Worldwide Jeff and Paulie hit the airwaves to talk about the joy and excitement of UofL women's sports. And, these are exciting times!
