Women's Basketball vs Louisville Jan 7 at 8PM

The Lady Hokies play No. 2 Louisville today at 8PM in Cassell. The game will be shown on Regional Sports Networks. Since I thought we were playing NC State until last night, I don't have much to say about this game. NC State had a positive Covid test.

Louisville is 8 and 0 with several impressive score differentials. But "they ain't played nobody." Except DePaul(20/22) in early Dec and Louisville won by 40 points.

The Hokies match up pretty well size-wise against the top 8. An interesting note for this game. Nyah Green announced she was sitting out after playing in 5 games. She subsequently announced she was transferring to Duke; and Duke has now cancelled the rest of their season.

The starters:

Dana Evans #1, 5'6" Senior Guard. 20.8 ppg, 48.4% and 40% from 3. 2:1 assist to TO ratio.

Kianna Smith #14, 6'0" redshirt Junior Guard. 13.7 ppg, 53.2% and 43.3 % from 3(only 5 shots). 5 rebounds per game.

Olivia Cochran #44, 6'3" Freshman Forward. 13.1 ppg, 62.9% 0 for 2 from 3. 7.4 rebounds per game.

Hailey Van Lith #10, 5'7" Freshman Guard. 13 ppg, 46.3% and 34.4% from 3. 6.3 rebounds per game.

Elizabeth Balogun #4, 6'1" Junior Guard transfer from GA Tech. 4.6 ppg, 35% and 15.8% from 3. 4.1 rebounds per game. Has started every game but only plays 19 minutes per game.

Others:

Elizabeth Dixon #22, 6'5" Junior Forward transfer from Ga Tech. 7.9 ppg, 60.5%, no attempts from 3. 5.4 rebounds per game. Only playing 16 minutes per game.

Norika Konno, #11, 5'10" Sophomore Guard from Japan. 16 min per game, 5.6 ppg. 45.5% and 36.4% from 3.

Ahlana Smith #2, 5'9" Junior Guard. Started 4 games,plays 17 min per game. 4.6 ppg. 38.9% and 20% from 3.

Statistics:


Since I didn't know we were playing Louisville until last night, I have not looked at them much. They are the No. 2 Women's team in the nation; so they must be good. The Hokies will have to play better than they did the last two games to be competitive. Louisville has been running everyone they have played out of the gym, while holding opposing teams to 59 points per game. Maybe Kitley can have a great game or one of the guards can go crazy from 3.

Let's Go Hokies!
