Louisville’s Season Ends with 71-52 Loss to Michigan
Louisville stormed out of the gate going up 8-0. Michigan scored their first basket of the game with 3:45 left in the first quarter. Unfortunately in the second quarter the Cards seemed to run out of steam.
They finished the quarter on a 18-2 run up 32-27. The Cards regrouped in the third quarter and reclaimed the lead but then the Wolverines finished on another massive run and Louisville never recovered. Elif Istanbulluoglu finished the season strong with 18 points and 7 rebounds.
Reyna Scott in her final game as a Cardinal had 9 points. Laura Ziegler had 5 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. After the game Coach Walz said, “Unfortunately, it wasn’t our best day by no means.
I thought in the first quarter we came out. We executed. We defended extremely well.
Then uncharacteristically we missed a lot of wide open shots….. At this time of the year you’ve got to be able to knock down open shots. Unfortunately, we struggled in doing that.
