Proud of this team.
They played their hearts out in the ACCWBBT. They never gave up. Emery and Sheppard had a good tournament. Magarity didn't have a good tournament offensively. Without Hicks, they did much better than I thought they would. If they can play in the WNIT with the same passion they did the past 2 days, they may go further in the WNIT than they did last season.
As for Louisville with their 14 Top 100 high school players (6 of them McDonald's All-Americans), I'd be ashamed to wear that uniform with all the scandals going on within their athletics department the past few years. If I'm recruiting against U of L in any sport, I'd let the recruits and their parents know what an unethical athletics department they had (may still have). Their women's basketball program may not have been involved in any wrongdoings, but I have wondered how a school like U of L can sign so many high level high school stars considering their location and mediocre academics. Their former AD was one of the biggest scumbags in college athletics.
