This has turned into quite a red-letter weekend for U of L. Yesterday the men's soccer team advanced to the NCAA final four, while the men's basketball team hardly broke a sweat while dominating South Alabama. But today the women's basketball team did something that tugs at the heartstrings belonging to every self-professed Cardinal fanatic: they rolled, chewed up and spit out 8th-ranked Kentucky. And they did it front of a packed house -- 22,152 fans at the downtown arena, the sixth largest attendance this season in college basketball, men or women's.
Like the soccer game, the Cardinals were led today by a freshman phenom. Oregon native Shoni Schimmel scored 26 points on 6 of 9 three-point shooting. Becky Burke added 21 points by sinking 6 three-pointers of her own. Sorry Marra, but the weekend's Best from Beyond the Arc shooting crown belongs to these ladies. Story
here.
Way to go Cardinals.
