These growing pains do suck but I think that this will be a good and tournament team come March. Either that or Walz will run all the un-believers off. <br /><br />You have to buy in and listen to your coaches. even Angel and Shoni did and they were two that were fairly headstrong. Good times coming Cardinal fans.

Disagree that UK's freshmen are better or that Mitchell out recruits Walz, makes a big difference when freshmen are learning from and backing up/playing with upperclassmen rather them doing it with sophs. Rankings are overrated, sure, but our freshmen are indeed some of the best, they just need time. I am willing to give it to them. Said it before, will say it again, we'll see if there is any major improvements around mid Jan-early Feb. Nice to have a couple of easier games to try to translate what is practiced into game situations.

Still willing to believe that their youth has been their enemy and to give the team time to show us what they are made of. I will still be in my game seat but it is time enough that they realize that others out there also are talented as well as experienced.

This years team just doesn't have that maturity or perspective yet.<br /><br />I hadn't seen that Epps quote before. That's aggravating but if this year's club is going to let UK kick sand in their faces and not get after them I guess they deserve what they settle for.<br /><br />Almost forgot...we coulda used us some "Vitamin E" yesterday.

Now that the rivalry game is over, I'll be attending a few of the Sunday contests if they don't conflict with UK games. Just based on what I saw last night, UofL needs a few cupcakes and it looks like the next five are. Simply put, the Cats wanted it more last night and they went and got it. There is enough talent on the Louisville team to be very, very good by season end but they have to learn how to guard someone, make layups and grab rebounds. Walz will probably age 20 years this season. I'd like to see you put up pictures of when he first got to Louisville and a current picture side-to-side. Have patience with your team. They will improve. Sometimes, it's a long process. Don't give up on them. <br /><br />Matthew Mitchell For Governor Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-30808442903998603482015-12-11T11:53:40.479-05:002015-12-11T11:53:40.479-05:00Excellent points We benefited greatly last year...Excellent points We benefited greatly last year from early season cupcakes to build momentum plus got some great breaks with injuries to top opponents to help us beat NC (McDaniel) and Cal ((Courtney Range). Everything went our way last year until Dayton. As much as I disliked Bria Smith's game she could play decent D and we really miss Dyer's D and rebounding. We don't have the bigs this year to rebound and defend.

If there was ever a team that needed some pre or early season "cupcake" games it was this one. I think Paulie mentioned it in a prior post but some early season wins for this young team would have better positioned them for success later. I don't get why Walz didn't schedule some.<br /><br />It's way too early to get discouraged but a few observations:<br /><br />1) That preseason ranking was not a good thing for this club.<br />2) Good defense & rebounding comes down to hard work and determination. If these kids can't muster it up it will be a long season.<br />3) It's hard to beat a lunch hour YMCA team shooting 36% and 18% from three. <br /><br />It's interesting but last year's seniors were pretty deferential to M & M in the statistical departments that got all of the press, but they did the heavy lifting in the basketball basics that enabled the team to win. We're going to need M & M to play more like those veterans and less like the freshmen they were last year. Need some leaders on this team to help BJ out.<br /><br />On a more positive note it seems that we're shooting our free throws much better this year. Just need to bring everything else up to speed.BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-11188026973992505052015-12-11T09:41:37.767-05:002015-12-11T09:41:37.767-05:00Epps had 9 of the Cats first 14 points.

What happened to this increased defensive intensity that this team was supposedly acheiving? I hope your right about the next five, Paulie, because right now the women's look like a bunch of drunk sailors on shore leave when it comes to guarding anyone except for Jackson.

That challenge...plus the aspect of playing the Cards...gave her all the motivation she needed to shine. As far as not guarding her...it's just another breakdown in the line of communication from what the coaches want on defense and what the players actually do. <br /><br />PaulieCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-88850927653978597822015-12-11T02:58:26.108-05:002015-12-11T02:58:26.108-05:00Here's a quote from Epps after the game
"...Here's a quote from Epps after the game<br />"I really was," Epps said when asked if she was surprised to be open on so many occasions. "I don't know if Louisville thinks I can't shoot, but if that's what they think, that's fine. There's probably a lot of people in the country who don't respect me as a jump shooter, but that's fine."Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572026878989581315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-48430646348280267662015-12-11T02:37:23.167-05:002015-12-11T02:37:23.167-05:00We can't stop Epps.

Also, Mitchell recruits better than Walz.<br />Morris and Murray were rated 58 and 55. Durr/Cole/Jones 2 and 26 and 40 out of high school. Who looked like the real players? Who fit a role on their team best? Murray and Morris by miles. These ratings of players don't mean much when players in the 50's out play players that are suppossed elite. Now we get to look forward to seeing these two guards for the next three years. Guards who fit a role. We have zero identity because our freshman are having no impact with the exception of Durr on occassion.Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572026878989581315noreply@blogger.com
