Go Cards.

Where is everyone?
Well - glad to see the women getting so much attention! :-(
Almost end of first half. OU killing us — the Paris twins getting rebounds, they’ve got Angel shut down, and they’re getting points in transition.
BUT — it’s only 8 points. If we come out and play our game in the second half, I still think we can beat this team.

Formatting
Don’t know why the strikethrough.
by Bruce in Louisville on Apr 5, 2009 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree
C. Paris is as winded as Chris Farley was in that figure skating sketch with Nancy Kerrigan. She’ll keep slowing down if we keep ’em running.

Running and defense
Yep — if we keep running, she’ll be tired. But I don’t think Ashley is going to get tired.
Our defense needs to pick up.

OU does a better job of finding the open woman on the floor. Good passing, good spacing. Plus, they hit their shots.

I think the....
….“they hit their shots” is the key. What was with that airball lay-up by Bingham (at least I think it was her?)

Rebounds
They’re getting most of them.

Impressed with this Whitney Hand girl
Plus she’s pretty cute.

Well, 12 pts isn't the end of the world....
….but it should have been better. We’ve just played horribly for the majority of the half.

Second half
Well — they’d better step it up and make it close, or they’re going to get blown out of the building.

Hopefully Walz struck fear in them

Not impressed
Neither team in this game is impressing me right now. Louisville looks nothing like the team that beat Maryland, and OU is playing slow now.
The way they’re playing now, Stanford OR UConn would eat their lunch.
by Bruce in Louisville on Apr 5, 2009 8:17 PM EDT reply actions
I think that goes without saying
I do like the current little run. Even if Stanford or UConn would kill UofL it’d still be nice to be in the Championship.

I've only watched the last 7 games...
…but I love this team.

Focus and fouls
We’ve got to stay focused, and we’ve got to STOP FOULING!

Hold the lead ...
… with Byrd on the bench, and we can win this thing.

She's the star. It happens.
Just have to rise above.

Wow
Becky Burke is fearless. What a great time for a 3!

There were just 47 fouls on Angel in that play.
Thank God they called one of them

Is Courtney Paris also a LB on the Sooner football team?
Or is she a NT?
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again.
-Barney Stinson
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!1
I wouldn’t want to be Cortney Paris, or her dad now. Wow…. lots of money!
I wonder....
….what Courtney Paris is thinking about her “I’ll pay back my scholarship if we don’t win the championship” guarantee?
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again.
-Barney Stinson
I'm pretty sure her Dad can cover that tab fairly easily, tho'.

-Barney Stinson
Yeah, great class Holly Rowe...
….but good for Courtney Paris for at least saying she will pay it back.

Bubba Paris
He was on the 49ers teams during the Montana years.
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again.
-Barney Stinson
He is also from Louisville but went to Michigan

I wish the mens team played with that kind of intensity against MSU
being down 12 at the half, to come back and win..simply amazing
OK, here's what I want for Tuesday
Let’s see Stanford beat UConn in the semis again, just like last year. Then we can have the Cardinal versus the Cardinals!
by Bruce in Louisville on Apr 5, 2009 9:10 PM EDT reply actions
I'd rather have Stanford
I think UConn would just be in the Lady Cards’ heads too much.
by Bruce in Louisville on Apr 5, 2009 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions
It depends
Stanford is my 3rd most hated team and I really couldn’t stand if they won it all.

I'm just kind of shocked I am about to dedicate
5 hours of my Sunday to being on edge about Women’s BB.

-Barney Stinson
That was great...
…weird watching a game where winning is GREAT but losing wouldn’t ruin my week or month.
Walz is pretty amazing. You could tell the 2nd half they really focused on shutting down that great shooter for OK. Great defense by Burke.
also thought they did a great job fronting that big OU center
didnt have much for the entire game (other than a buttload of rebounds)
Burke was hot/cold
That over-and-back was ridiculous and she wasted time behind mid-court way too much. I counted out ten seconds twice but the refs didn’t acknowledge it.

There is no 10 second violation in women’s college basketball.

Well then negate my comment
I thought it was strange.
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again.
-Barney Stinson
I know its only been 30+ seconds
but both these teams are legit.

Congrats to the Lady Cards!
Looks like another matchup with UConn for the national title, unless Stanford has a 20 point second half come back.
Jeff Walz will now be recruited harder than Rick Pitino

Go Cards
Great game, great team. Way to not give up until the final buzzer sounds Lady Cards.
How can you not love Angel. Every time she’s interviewed it’s all about the team. We would be hard pressed to find a better representative in the black and red.
