The Gang's All Here
The last of the WBB players have arrived on campus.
Hailey Van Lith, the heralded incoming freshman out of Cashmere Washington in the central part of the state, made her way across most of the country to Louisville this week. As many of the players have done this year, she did take video at various points along the way and the @UofLWBB twitter account posted it as a sort of mini-travelogue.
It was an early start for Van Lith, as many west to east trips tend to be, getting started with a two and a half hour drive to Seattle. Hailey did get the benefit of some relatively direct flight routing, with her only stopover being in Chicago.

Presumably there will be ongoing testing of all involved in the athletics programs at UofL to catch and stop any spread of the virus within their ranks.
Lawson As Duke's New Head Coach
During the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast yesterday, we discussed the reports that Duke was heavily considering Kara Lawson as their next head coach, replacing Joanne P. McCauley. I, mostly tongue-in-cheek, said I didn't want Lawson to be the coach there because I don't want Duke to be good.
Shortly after our show wrapped up, Duke officially announce Lawson would be their next head coach.
Lawson played her college ball at Tennessee, played for various teams in the WNBA from 2003 to 2015, and played for several years with the US Women's National Team.
After wrapping her playing career, Kara was brought on to the ESPN family of networks as a color commentator doing fine work sharing her experiences and extensive knowledge of the game. She made a number of appearances at the KFC Yum! Center in that role. She has also served as an on-air basketball analyst for NBA teams.
Lawson jumped back across the court to the bench side sidelines last year with an assistant coaching position with the Boston Celtics.
Lawson will be the 5th head coach of the Duke Blue Devils.

She should have no trouble recruiting highly skilled players given Duke's history as a top-notch national basketball powerhouse and highly revered academic reputation.
Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast
We were a man down for the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast yesterday, with Case off preparing for the next test in his quest to obtain his Professional Engineering Certification.

Then, of course, we had a rip roaring Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast quiz. This one was a competitive one down to the wire on the theme of "Where Are They Now?" Jared pulled out the win in the bonus round. You can try your luck on the quiz by listening to the rebroadcast. It's looking like the only one who might be able to beat Jared is Alexa or Siri...
Check out the show below.
