UNC Win Brings Rankings, Honors -- TUESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE
Cards Move Back into Top 5
With the newest AP Poll coming out yesterday, the Louisville Cardinals found themselves back in a familiar spot. The Cards received two first place votes on their way to a ranking of fifth, just behind the Oregon Ducks. Louisville may have a legitimate gripe about being ranked behind Oregon, having beaten the Ducks earlier this year. Louisville also has just one loss, though Oregon's second came to a ranked team in Arizona State. The Ducks are also coming off of a 32 point victory over Stanford, last week's third-ranked team.
The Cards can take solace in the fact that they are ranked above Oregon in last week's Coaches Poll, an advantage they'd seem likely to maintain. Louisville is also in an enviable position in the current RPI, as they hold the top spot in that particular category. The Cards have an unusual follower in that ranking, though, as Missouri State sits in second place. The RPI falls into line a bit after that as South Carolina, Stanford, and UConn round out the top five.
Dana Evans Named ACC POTW
After two huge games and being instrumental in two wins, Dana Evans was named ACC Player of the Week for the second time this season. Evans averaged 24.5 points in the pair, along with 4.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds. She also shot 9-9 from the free throw line and 48% from the floor (59% from three). Evans has pushed her season averages to 19.1ppg on 42.5% shooting from the floor (45% from three). Her free throw percentage has skied to 92.1%, an impressive mark for having taken more than 75 attempts. In addition to increasing her year over year scoring, Evans is sporting a 1.64 assist-to-turnover ratio. That mark is below the 2.2 ATO she set last season, but there is still plenty of time to improve for the rest of this season. Let us not forget that Evans has also taken on a significantly increased role in the absence of Asia Durr and Arica Carter, so an uptick in turnovers can be expected given the additional pressure. Either way, I don't think this will be the last of Evans' POTW awards in her career.
Until next time, Go Cards!
