Louisville managed to force Connecticut into 18 turnovers yesterday in a 78-55 loss in the XL Center in Hartford, CT., but returned the favor with 18 of their own. Freshman guard Shoni Schimmel had seven of the miscues...no other Cardinal had more than two. The Cards won the steals category 12-9 (Tia Gibbs 4, Charmaine Tay 3) but UConn took assists 17-12 (Schimmel 6, Monique Reid 4). Louisville committed 16 fouls (Keisha Hines 5, Gibbs 4, Sherrone Vails 3) compared to the Huskies' 14.
.
UConn went 30-56 (53.6%) from the field...Louisville 20-63 (31.7%). The Huskies also won the 3-point battle with 6-15 shooting (40%) while Louisville went 7-21 (33%). For the Lady Cards, Schimmel was 3-12 from behind the arc, Gibbs 3-5, Becky Burke 1-3 and Reid 0-1. Bria Hartley led all trifecta attempters..going 4-8.
Free throws went in UConn's favor also, the Huskies going 12-16 (75%) from the stripe. Louisville (8-12, 66%) was led by Asia Taylor's 3 out of 4. The Cards did go 6-7 from the line in the second half.
.
Jeff Walz played 10 Cardinals in the game...Schimmel getting 38 minutes. Gibbs had 31, Reid 30, Burke 23, Keisha Hines 20 and both Sherrone Vails and Charmaine Tay logging 19 each. Taylor had 14 minutes...Antonita Slaughter and Rachel Story added 3 each. The Cards lost the rebounding battle to the Huskies 43-30...Hines grabbing five for Louisville.
.
Louisville's freshmen accounted for 23 Cardinal points and 10 turnovers. Last year's participants against the Huskies were good for 23 points and Gibbs added 9.
The freshmen were 9-27 from the floor, the rest of the Cards 11-36. Louisville's two leading scorers on the season, Schimmel and Reid...went a combined 7 for 31 from the field.
.
Three stats that tell the story of this game are the decided rebounding advantage for the Huskies, the pitiful shooting of Reid and Schimmel and the second half point differential. UConn outscored Louisville by 18 (47-29) in the second half...creating that advantage in the last fifteen minutes of the game. As Coach Walz always says, you gotta play 40 minutes of good basketball to win...

A great comeback yesterday for Rick Pitino's guys in the KFC YUM Center. Down by 18 with less than six minutes to go, the Cards staged a furious rally and took the lead at 71-70 when Preston Knowles found "the King" Kyle Kuric underneath the basket for a goal with four second to go. It was one of the best games (at least the end) WE'VE seen in a long time...and congrats to the guys for never giving up.
