Cards VB vs. Fla

[Sonja_rivals]

We interrupt this drama-filled Thursday to remind you that the #1 team in NCAA Volleyball -- the Louisville Cardinals begin Sweet Sixteen NCAA Tournament play vs. Florida today at 1 p.m. in Freedom Hall and on ESPNU.

30-0 and four more to go.

The Cards face a 22-8 Gator squad that had defeat Florida A&M and Miami (FL) to get to the Sweet Sixteen. They are the last SEC team remaining in the 'big dance'. They ended their regular season with two straight losses to UK. Florida has All-SEC performers Sofia Victoria and Thayer Hall as competent kill artists and steady elli McKissock as their Libero.

It should be a fun one. Louisville is 0-8 in the series history against Florida. Let's change that today.

Good crowd for a Thursday afternoon time, they were very enthusiastic. I would love to see us pack the Hall Saturday evening. Big weekend in the Ville, Thursday Volleyball regionals, Friday Louisville vs DePaul, Saturday Volleyball regional finals and Sunday the women’s basketball team plays sUcK. Go Cards!!!

They put a serious ***-whompin’ on the Gators. This team has the fans behind them and as mentioned - would love to se twice as many people in the Hall for Saturday’s match.

Texas vs Washington was an amazing contest. W was up 2 sets to 0, and up 16-13 in set 3; when TX took over and finished set 3 with a win, and the next 2 sets for the match.

DePaul beat UK in Lexington in basketball. DePaul hit 7- 3pointers, and UK a missed all of their attempts and DePaul out rebounded UK 48-30 ……so how did UK stay within the 9 point final margin? UK shot 27 free throws.

UK women BB Team is one dimensional this year with only 8 scholarship players as their offense derives from their defense. Take care of the ball and avoid fouling and UL will win easily.
