Word is that MHA had a good practice Tuesday, though and will most likely be in Blacksburg and available for action against VT. <br /><br />And, let's be honest. Did many of you think (besides the ever-optimistic Paulie) the Cards would go to South Bend and get a win? They could have brought back Shoni, Angel and A-Tay and still would have had a hard time against the Irish Monday night. <br /><br />PaulieCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-29814024136338795262017-02-08T00:06:00.310-05:002017-02-08T00:06:00.310-05:00Paulie... you lose MHA (your most consistent playe...Paulie... you lose MHA (your most consistent player, a double-double machine who is the only reliable go-to in the paint) and BJ (a fearless defender and excellent distributor who I think is the heart and soul of this team) and it's not a serious setback? <br /><br />I'll agree that there is potential on the bench, but to replace two of your four best players on the road against a team like ND.......few teams are going to survive that.<br /><br />Would they have beaten ND with five healthy starters?

Ladies especially disappointing, Notre Dame made our defense look non existent. Gut check time for both squads.

I keep hearing about 'they're only freshman' . My thoughts are that after 26 games, those freshmen are sophomores now and need to start making an impact. Ciera, Kylee and Jazmine are crucial if this team is going to make a run. Who knows where Sydney and Bionca fit into this mix? Jessica the little walk-on who really didn't look that bad running the offense last night except for the one turnover where Ogumbowale just basically took it away from her. <br /><br />I can see them winning the final five but if Hines-Allen and Jackson are unable to go, it's time the freshmen start playing like sophomores. <br /><br />Walz says he is looking for wight players to buy in. If they're healthy, it's Hines-Allen, BJ, Mariya, Cortnee, Asia, Kylee, Ciera and Jazmine. In my opinion. After that, you have to hope you can get something out of Sam and/or Taylor. <br /><br />I am not giving up on this team one bit. I hope they don't give up on themselves. Someone besides Asia, Mariya and Cortnee have to give consistancy.

I got the impression that the kids didn't believe they a chance to beat the Irish without Hines-Allen in the lineup. While that might be objectively true it was also an opportunity for a bunch of kids to get a chance to play and step up to it. As Paulie noted only Moore and Durr showed up. How do we play an entire game and only force three turnovers and get two steals? We looked like we didn't belong on the same court with ND. <br /><br />Sometimes in sports and in life opportunities come up when you least expect them and if you're smart you're ready when you get a chance. It's as disappointing an effort as I can remember.<br /><br />As we all know knee problems in WBB are common and frequently serious. The timing of MHA's knee issues is unfortunate with the tourney coming up in a matter of weeks. We've got a bunch of kids that need to deal with that fact and get themselves ready for the tourney expecting to play real minutes.<br /><br />BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-77408535699899352592017-02-07T08:55:03.068-05:002017-02-07T08:55:03.068-05:00Question: Sam Fuehring she plays hard but is her s...Question: Sam Fuehring she plays hard but is her skill set progressing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-41966523921361357642017-02-07T08:49:56.776-05:002017-02-07T08:49:56.776-05:00Louisville really missed BJ last night.

I'm not comfortable with the lack of information on her, though. What is Louisville trying to hide from the fan base? <br /><br />The next five should be a 5 game win streak which would send the Cards into the ACC Tournament at 25-6 and 12-4. Hopefully that gets them a #3 or #4 seed. <br /><br />They have to find someone to step up when players are down though. Your walk on is getting eight minutes at point guard. They don't enter Zambrotta when they desperately need threes? <br /><br />I'm no coach. Just a fan. Louisville was expected to lose this one, I get that. I just hoped for more out of the bench. I hope someone steps up and earns that playing time and then delivers when they get it.

You bet they need Myisha and BJ to get better soon. And the girls on the bench look lost when put in the game.
