Maryland @ Louisville

[MilfordHusky]

Not really afraid of Maryland. Granted they've gotten better, but UConn beat them by 18 on their home court without KML and Tuck.

And with Bria going 0-11 on treys.

Kelly did a nice job on Thomas last year.

Stokes has her work cut out for her, guarding Thomas is not going to be an easy task.

Kiah is a beast, and has done well guarding Thomas in games past. I am not too worried

If we were to meet again, I'd expect a similar outcome. An improved Kiah, and Kaleena starting to get back in her rhythm. If we get normal play out of Stef and Bria, even half a Stewie should be good enough to win on a neutral court.

If Maryland can hold on.... they will be the Big 10's first Final 4 participant since 2005.

I'm conflicted. While I usually root for Conference teams and I don't like Frese , I also don't want to play any team 4 times in one year.

Yeah I'm with you on that, though I don't think Louisville has enough to beat UConn. UConn seems to play well against Louisville.

Technically, no. They are still an ACC team.

 

[NutmegDog]

Cards cannot win with Shoni blowing break-away lay ups.

Definitely not, just saying assuming they win tonight and ND in the semi.

Not in my book

 

[MilfordHusky]

You can't trade baskets when you're down by 9 with 5 mins to go.

 

[Vowelguy]

Once again I'm confused. We all know that Thomas is a mediocre player and frese is a terrible coach.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Louisville is really blowing it. Didn't expect that. Missing threes I might expect but not layups. Very surprised.

 

[Hongster]

Oh man! The cards blew so many fast break lay ups. The fast pace killed them.

 

[bschwartz]

Fun game to watch. Go Terps!

 

[Flyegirl]

Louisville is playing like their hair is on fire! Need to settle down.

Know what you mean. I'm rooting for Louisville, but consolation would be the pleasure of beating Frese again. And we WILL remember their name - after we send them HOME!!

It doesn't matter how good of a coach if you don't have high IQ players.

 

[triaddukefan]

Wow

Guess we're forgetting that either one of them still has to get by ND. I don't think that will happen, Achonwa or not.

 

[bschwartz]

That was a bad play by Shoni...should have shot it...instead layup for MD

 

[UConnCat]

Just tuning in. Louisville does not look good and Shoni looks worse.

 

[triaddukefan]

I usually watch the post game press conferences.... but if Louisville loses this game... im not sure if i would be able to make it through the whole thing

 

[luckyhusky7]

Can someone tell Shonni those passes may be okay for dazzle dazzle "Rez Ball" but won't for the elite 8?? Stop being so flashy with the passes, if she was playing for Geno.....he would've yanked her already

 

[chrissaran]

Like Simmons, Schimmel can hurt her team as much as she helps. That one handed pass was nonsense, especially that late in the game. Showtime, you might just pass your team out of the Final Four. I'd rather play Maryland or Notre Dame any day. I don't like Louisville at all.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The Cardinals are going to lose at home. Can the Cardinal also lose at home?

 

[Flyegirl]

I'm not going to watch.

 

[semper]

My bracket, my bracket....!!

I'm just covering all the bases in case this winner does get by ND.

What the heck happened???

I took a call from work and came back and????
