NC State comes out shooting...timeout Louisville, 7:11 left 3Q. Wolfpack leads 33-27.

Jakia Brown-Turner has started to get going. She has had an off tournament so far but has a layup and a THREE during this scoring flurry by NC State.

Dana Evans just 1 of 6 today...and now 8 of 38 for the ACCT.

Cunane said in an interview earlier this season that Larkins was the player she most admired.

 

[KY Card Fan]

Evans forcing too much

 

[oldude]

As I’m watch this game, I can’t help thinking the lack of execution by Louisville on offense and the numerous breakdowns on defense are striking for a Jeff Walz coached team.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State couldn't hit the ocean if on a boat 50 yards from shore. 4 missed layups in a row. Louisville on a run. NC State, up by 7 at one time, now leads 36-35. 3:11 left 3Q.

Watching Evans in this game I'm most impressed by Evans' unwillingness to even try to create for others when her shot doesn't fall. Any old shot will do. Also her defensive skills are more matador than locksmith.

I think defense has been mostly OK. Offense is dysfunctional.

Hate to admit that you're mostly correct, at least this week.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Evans is being selfish at times

Well, this is when it counts the most

 

[SECbbfan24]

Smith is having a great game

 

[LETTERL]

End of 3...Louisville finished the quarter on a 12-4 run. Dana Evans with 6 quick points. 43-40, Cards. Kiana Smith with 13 points now.

NC State will regret all of those missed opportunities right around the basket if they let this one slip away.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Evans heating up

Stops

 

[LETTERL]

3:23 left...Louisville up 54-53. This game closing and looking like a battle between two heavyweights, trading blows.

Dana Evans up to 13 points now for Louisville. Cunane with 17 for NC State.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Two teams getting after it. Fun.

 

[eebmg]

Fun game.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State takes a 55-54 lead, 2:22 left.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I'm laughing at how both teams have the chance to surge ahead but keep shooting themselves in the foot

 

[LETTERL]

Raina Perez hits a basket with 2 seconds left. NC State leads, 58-56. Timeout Louisville

 

[eebmg]

Wow. Clutch go ahead shot from Perez.

 

[SECbbfan24]

While Evans has been big hitting some shots down the stretch, feels like she has hurt Louisville as much as well with some of these awful shot selections

 

[eebmg]

Walz tried to relive the Hailey Van Lith magic. and Evans misses a last second shot she could have made. Feel really ad for Evans. That is a tough one to swallow
