When you beat Louisville at anything it's a great victory. Glad to see the Ladycats come back in the second half and play so well.

Beating them down there is really special. It's difficult enough to win at home, but to win on the road is something else!

The Ladycats can flat out play and wouldn't surprise me if they make some noise in the NCAA tournament or should I say Geno Auriemma's tournament.

The girls have made 282 t/o's total this year which is 18.5 a game and rank 282 out of 350 division one teams. Not good!

That's why coach Mitchell told them last night that any turnover over 12 was going to be punished;. They had 11 last night!
