The afternoon started auspiciously with Louisville honoring junior Myisha Hines-Allen pre-game for scoring 1,000 career points. Personally I thought she only had 999 points prior to today or I would've congratulated her on that achievement in the last recap. But since I obviously can't count I'll do it now instead: Congratulations, Myisha!! Here's to 1,000 more!
After such an inspiring ceremony the first half was mainly pedestrian. Briahanna Jackson was scrappy fighting for loose balls and getting smacked so hard in the head that she lost her headband. However, shooting was lackluster at just 36% for the half.
