A Look into the Weekend -- A Preview of Kentucky -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE
A Look into the WeekendAh, Friday is here at last. There's no greater feeling than looking forward to the weekend. As always, there are a few UofL sports in action and one major game coming up.
Saturday, Dec. 8
Men's basketball travels to Bloomington to take on Indiana at 2:30. Sitting at 6-2, Chris Mack has lead his team to some impressive victories including wins against Michigan State and Seton Hall. This game can be found on FOX.
Sunday, Dec 9
Women's basketball will host rival Kentucky at 2:00. This is one of those games that's circled on the schedule at the beginning of the season. The Battle of the Bluegrass will feature a pair of undefeated teams, sitting at 9-0 each. Unfortunately, I will have to miss seeing that I will be performing in a concert at the same time (great planning, right?).
Scouting Kentucky
No. 19 Kentucky enters the match-up 9-0 with their most recent victory coming at home against Rhode Island, 75-52. They have ?? wins against NCAA Tournament teams from last year: Virginia (63-51) and UCLA (75-74).
The Cats have outscored opponents 719-497 so far this season. The 79.9 points per game is fairly average for early season, but the defense allowing 55.2 points per game is something to make note of.
Defensively, Kentucky is one of the better teams out there. They're forcing nearly 27 turnovers per game and are right at 14 steals per game. Their 32 blocks on the year puts the average at about 3.6 per game, enough to make you think twice about driving in the lane.
Sending the Wildcats to the free throw line might not be a good idea as they are shooting .763 on the year. Their three-point shooting is equally as dangerous, with an average right at .400.
Kentucky's biggest weakness might be the rebounding category, were they have been out-rebounded 342-330. 41% of their total rebounds have been offensive, a higher rate than the more-common 33.3%. It's the defensive rebounding where Kentucky has struggled and been dominated.
There are three major scorers for the Wildcats: Rhyne Howard (164), Maci Morris (157), Taylor Murray (133). If you compare that to Lousiville, Asia Durr has 196 and Sam Fuehring is nearly 100 behind with only 97. That trio of Blue players will be tough to for Louisville's defense to shut down.
Howard (62) and Keke McKinney (46) have been the major threats down low on the boards. Fuehring is the closest to those numbers for Louisville with 58, but both Kylee Shook and Jaz Jones are in the 40's. Depending on foul trouble the rebounding could be a major key to victory in this one.
Murray is a solid scorer, but her passing is more dangerous. She's tallied 39 of Kentucky's 128 assists and has been a great senior leader for Matthew Mitchell's squad.
Jeff Walz vs Matthew Mitchell
Both men became head coaches of their respective programs in time to start the 2007-2008 season. The two had completely different starts to their careers at these programs.
Mitchell came to Kentucky after coaching Morehead State for two years. Kentucky's program began to turn around in his third season, the year he earned SEC Coach of the Year honors and led the team to a 28-8 record. Mitchell has made it to the Elite Eight multiple times.
Walz was an associate head coach before getting called up to Louisville. He found immediate success in Louisville, guiding the Cards to their first ever Final Four appearance, falling to UConn in the championship. Louisville has made it to the Final Four three times and appeared in the NCAA Championship twice.
Louisville is 5-6 against Kentucky since the two coaches have taken over. The Cards have won two straight in the series.
Happy Friday and Go Cards!
