Louisville struggling to not foul Howard

Mitchell is going to ride this Howard thoroughbred until the jockey falls off.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky has played absolutely no one so far but I'm impressed today. Getting some good contributions from other kids not named Howard. Curious what the addition of Patterson does for the team and what she will bring.

 

[JordyG]

Debbie's commentary is actually making sense today.

 

[eebmg]

I don't see how this Howard model is sustainable in a deep run. But it can buy a few games I suppose

 

[JordyG]

Walz has decided anyone but Howard is going to beat me this quarter and KY responds by hitting 3's. But that's not enough as Louisville is moving more on offense and playing with far more urgency. Jewel Loyd once said Geno taught her as much about basketball as anyone when she had to learn how to be effective against "junk" defenses such as the one Walz is using on Howard, specifically the box and one.

 

[Mdoggie]

Hold on UK!

 

[SECbbfan24]

Howard got clobbered on that drive

 

[eebmg]

Howard is starting to get very frustrated. She needs a counter move to the fake left go right drive.

 

[Plebe]

Howard got clobbered on that drive

There have been some questionable no-calls on Louisville drives too.

 

[Shades]

Howard got clobbered on that drive

Sounds like a Walz system.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky falling apart and Louisville taking over at the end of the 3rd. Howard looking frustrated.

 

[JordyG]

Walz certainly showed why he's one of the best coaches with that quarter. His team played disciplined on offense and hard nosed on defense. His press took away the transition game and his box and one took Howard away from the ball.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Louisville has not allowed a FG in over 6 minutes. Kentucky lost right now

 

[Plebe]

Louisville has not allowed a FG in over 6 minutes. Kentucky lost right now

The offense of both teams has ground to a halt.

 

[Plebe]

I seriously don't remember the last time I saw a Kentucky team hit 10 of 18 from 3.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Good game going down to the wire. Both teams playing hard.

 

[eebmg]

I seriously don't remember the last time I saw a Kentucky team hit 10 of 18 from 3.

Third straight game where KY has double digit 3's

 

[SECbbfan24]

I seriously don't remember the last time I saw a Kentucky team hit 10 of 18 from 3.

I have watched them a bit this year. Their 3 point shooting is much much improved even with the loss of Maci Morris. Think they have hit double digit 3's the last 3 games. Its been a pleasant surprise.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Louisville is too much for Kentucky on the boards

 

[SECbbfan24]

Shook has been the game changer here down the stretch

 

[Plebe]

Third straight game where KY has double digit 3's

Over 50% though?

 

[hoopsfan22]

Louaville wins it 67-66

 

[SECbbfan24]

If I was Kentucky, I would have driven it straight to the basket

Big mistake

 

[eebmg]

OK. That was fun. Just too much asked for Howard. Cant sustain that.

 

[hoopsfan22]

If I was Kentucky, I would have driven it straight to the basket

Big mistake

Yeah not sure why they pulled it out like that. There was plenty of time left.

 

[Shades]

Whew... what a game.

 

[Bayloralum]

Wow how does Kentucky lose? Louisville is still overrated

 

[SECbbfan24]

The difference in the game

Louisville out rebounds Kentucky 38-17


Respectable performance for Kentucky. They have a pretty good team. SEC as a whole is not stacked so they should finish pretty high

Good game and great atmosphere! I enjoyed that.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Eh, would've put money on Kentucky finding a way to lose.
