[Gurleyman]

Marist hanging in so far. But Louisville’s pressure will probably break it open.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Louisville has muddled thru most of their season. No reason to change today I guess.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Louisville finally grabs the lead, up 26-23 approaching halftime. So, so lackluster.

 

[nwhoopfan]

29-24 Ville at the half. If they keep playing like this they won't advance much further than the 2nd round.

29-24 Ville at the half. If they keep playing like this they won't advance much further than the 2nd round.

It’s not like they would have challenge Stanford that much anyways

 

[nwhoopfan]

So what is Barcello doing at Marist? Brother is at BYU and younger sister will be heading to BYU. Family is from Arizona.

Looking at the bracket, not sure if Northwestern is up to taking them out. Maybe Georgia?

 

[Gurleyman]

Louisville makes their big run when Evans gets benched. Interesting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, Cards FINALLY getting going. Hitting some 3's, getting some scoring in the lane. Up 13 now. Evans isn't shooting very well but Hailey Van Lith has 12 on 5-8.

 

[Adriacus]

insane that anyone was considering Louisville as a #1 Seed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

K. Smith with a couple 3s. Lead up to 15. Evans still sitting.

Louisville makes their big run when Evans gets benched. Interesting.

Evans has not played a good game since conference tournament. Hailey Van Lith did a good job to backup the team. She shines in the big stage.

If Marist could break a press, it might be interesting - but they make bang your head against the wall mistakes with lazy or inaccurate passes.

Walz benched Evans at the end of the half and then quickly again in the second half. Felt like Hailey Van Lith was passive today, and then went into scoring mode and others followed.

Obviously they need NPOY candidate Evans to come back soon.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

I don't think I've seen a male coach slap a female player on her backside and say good job, but Jeff Waltz...did you just?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now A. Smith w/ 5 quick points. Lead swells to 20.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ahlana Smith suddenly on fire! 7-0 scoring run for her.

edit--box score is showing her w/ only 5; either I'm blind, or they gave one of her buckets to somebody else

 

[nwhoopfan]

26-9 in Q3, 55-33 heading into Q4.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

They keep talking about how “terrible” and “awful” shooting Dana Evans had at the ACC tourney and it’s carried over.
It’s still amazing to me she still ended up on the All Tourney team. It’s like they voted her name instead of watching the games.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Van Lith w/ 5 quick points to start Q4.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not sure if Evans really got the message. She's trying to make up for lost time hoisting shots now. Hit a couple of them but it's all hero ball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

She hit a 3 and then got pulled. Might be because they're up 30 w/ 3 minutes left, but the entire time she was out there she was playing like she didn't have teammates on the floor with her. I didn't really like it. Commentator all excited she's getting her confidence back hitting some shots, but I think that's missing the point.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't even know who Williams from Louisville is, apparently their victory cigar. She drills a couple late 3s, their bench goes crazy. 74-43 final.
