Sunday Schedule
Well, at least the events today are spread out nicely, although it would be nice if they were in a bit closer geographical proximity.
Let's run them down in order.
Volleyball
Volleyball kicks off the afternoon at 1 at Cardinal Arena. The Cards are looking for revenge for an early conference season loss to UNC today. If you'll remember, in the first matchup, the Cards went into the set break at Chapel Hill up two sets to none with 25-19 and 25-18 wins. The Tarheels regrouped, though, and came out for the 3rd and 4th sets and flipped the script, winning 25-18 and 25-19, setting up the decisive 5th set. The Tarheels got that one 15-12 for the match, and the Cardinals came back home smarting from what should have been a solid win that turned into a loss. I suspect Florida State and Miami were none too thrilled, either, as they were the next guests into Cardinal Arena the next weekend who went down to defeat...the first matches to really show the mettle that this UofL squad really had, (and started to show that FSU really wasn't as great as expected pre-season).
Today, UofL is coming off of a very large victory against NC State in Cardinal Arena Friday night. That match may very well have been the deciding match of the ACC conference season championship. The Cardinals need to win the rest of the way, including today, and next weekend vs Boston College and Syracuse, to ensure they hang onto the share of the conference championship and that automatic qualifier bid to the NCAA tournament. A loss in any of the three matches would mean that we would need Pitt to take another loss as well, and with the rest of their schedule consisting of Georgia Tech (today), and then Virginia and Virginia Tech next week, the likelihood of that happening is rather low.
If you can't make it to campus, this one is available, as normal, on ACC Network Extra
Basketball
The women go into battle at 3pm for the WNIT championship at the KFC Yum! Center. 10th ranked Oregon has advanced through the other side of the WNIT bracket. Louisville sits in the #5 spot, of course, in early season like this, rankings are particularly impermanent.
The Cards will be looking out for scorers Ruthy Hebard (6'4" F), and Sabrina Ionescu (5'10" G) who had 24 and 16 against Texas A&M. Ionescu had a triple-double with 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Other scorers to be wary of are Lexi Bando (5'9" G), and Maiti Cazorla (5'10" G) who both put up 10 against Texas A&M. Cazorla almost reached double-double territory with 8 assists. First off the bench vs A&M was Oti Gildon (6'1" F) who scored 12 and pulled down 9 rebounds.
Not coming downtown? Get the call on CBS Sports Network.
Men's Soccer
Things move back to Floyd Street at 5pm with the Men's Soccer team kicking off their NCAA tournament run against San Francisco. The Cards bring a 4th seed into the tournament, and a win today will likely bring 13th seed Michigan into Lynn for the next round game. The Blue have to get past Colgate to do it, that match also starts at 5pm.
Still not on Floyd Street? ESPN3, has this one, still on the ESPN streaming platform like ACC Network Extra, albeit a little more prominently displayed.
Radio
We were down a knucklehead yesterday in the basement on a hill. Jared was off being a big fancy banker, but Julie JC Sullivan classed up the joint in his place, and even brought Paulie his very own stuffed plush Touchdown Squirrel. You should be able to find the replay at http://ift.tt/2zUUOF8 when it goes live.
We've gotten some wonderful support from our readers and listeners, and I can't say enough how much that is appreciated. We know we have amazing readers and listeners and we never take that for granted, and we're thrilled that you like what we do enough to help defray some of the costs of doing it. November is the one month of the year that we actually ask for that support.
Thank you again, and we'll see you at whatever next game you go to.
