As Asia Durr goes, so goes the University of Louisville women’s basketball team. She’s done and so are the Cardinals in the 2018-19 season.
Durr would miss her first shot 15 seconds into the championship game of the NCAA regional at Albany, N.Y. Following that one up with eight more misses in the first quarter, not making her first field goal until the beginning of the second quarter.
Louisville could not afford to have its leading scorer get off to a bad start, not against one women’s college basketball’s winningest programs. The worst fears of UofL fans quickly becoming evident, leading to a prolonged and painful realization that her journey was coming to an end.
