Regular season matchup

“We’re at a point right now where our two favorite words are, ‘My fault,’ we have to get past ‘My fault’ and start executing and start getting things done.” – Louisville coach Jeff Walz said.

The last time the two met, the Cards were ranked 9th in the nation and were upset at home by a buzzer beating floater by Miah Spencer in overtime.   She finished the team’s leading scorer that day with 22 on 11-17.  Mariya Moore and Asia Durr had 20 and 22 respectively.   Cortnee Walton grabbed 12 rebounds. The Cardinals also played without junior Myisha Hines-Allen, who was a late scratch from the starting lineup because of an undisclosed injury.  They’ve got her now. However, the Cards are now without senior, Brihanna Jackson (back injury).

Durr and Hines-Allen secured first-team honors – marking Hines-Allen’s second-consecutive season on the first team – and Moore was named to the second team in a vote by the league’s media and sports information directors.

Senior guards Miah Spencer and Dominique Wilson of the No. 17/18 NC State women’s basketball team have been named to the Blue Ribbon Panel’s All-ACC Second Team for the second consecutive year.
