I voted for Louisville (of course) but am really worried about Louisville's half court offense. Too much dribbling and not enough ball movement. That Northwestern zone is going to cause problems. I think if Louisville wins this they win it inside and on the boards. A loss won't surprise me. I've pretty much pegged this team as at best a Sweet 16 team for the last six weeks or so.

Northwestern defense can be really good. They held Maryland to 62 points. A team that averages over 90 points. But Northwestern have to score to win and that can be a problem for them sometimes.

If Louisville plays through the post they will win easily Northwestern's tallest starter is 6'0. The Cards have a significant height advantage.

One thing the nation will be able to see is my personal vote for National Defensive Player of the Year Veronica Burton. She averages 4 steals per game.

Notoriously slow starting L'Ville is at it again.

Oof, Louisville off to a horrendous start. Just turning it over and bricking 3s. Finally get a bucket, down 7-2.

Evans gonna shoot them out of this game. I think she needs some early bench time.

No ball movement, just taking turns jacking shots. Meanwhile NW getting layups almost every possession. 13-2, timeout Walz.


Wow, is the Big 10 way, way, way better than anybody gave them credit for being?

Who is Jordan Hamilton? She has 10 already. I know Pulliam and Burton from NW, but not familiar w/ the rest of the team.

19-5. Raise your hand if you knew Hamilton was the best player on the court.

This game will be over by halftime the way Louisville is playing.

Certainly NW can't keep shooting 70% or whatever, but Louisville has just been awful. 25-7 now.

NW is challenging pretty much every shot. Lots of blocks or altered shots. Stingy D. 25-10 thru Q1.
