Virginia Tech vs. Louisville Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Women’s Basketball

Now but On Any Given night there could be a handful of players that can put the ball in the basket for Louisville the tows are waving inside the Young Center we’re set for a top 20 Showdown high up off the window Sydney Taylor misses and this is going to be

Virginia Tech basketball so this is a Louisville team that Prides itself on defense they’ll switch one through five they’re all about the same size Courtney you talk about Liz kley but you can’t talk about her with without mentioning Georgia Amore they are a dynamic duo not just in the ACC but in the

Nation and then there’s Virginia Tech plan a is kitley Plan B is Georgia Amore and kitley is going to play in a crowd tonight because louv’s going to use their quickness to drop in to dig in to make kitley a [Applause] passer blal Cardinals we mentioned Kiki Jefferson Nina ricards was actually

Their leading scorer in their last game it was a gritty one against Boston College didn’t have their best game but they pulled it out and won and Louisville sitting now at 10 and three in the ACC Nyla Harris cutting to the basket and this will stay with

Louisville one of the top shot blockers if you over penetrate at The Rim kitley has the ability to block shots but you have to challenge her at the same time it’s one way to defend her is to get her off the floor in foul trouble yeah a lot of people talk about

Her offense but Kenny Brooks says she is a rim protector too for this Hoke’s defense there’s kitley getting the rebound and she’ll get it to Georg [Applause] Amore we mentioned kitley coming off the season high 34 points how was she so successful against Duke in their last

Game well they played her straight up one-on-one and she made him pay for it the turnover into the hands of Harris they love the naked two sides two two-man game with Amore and kitley and they’ll go to that a lot and Lille does a really good job of being aware of

That and getting a the flexion DEA ricards the transfer from Florida picking up where she left off in their last game I tell you what it’s a red house in here it is a packed Place Louisville always draws well ay more to kitley going to the

Basket and draws the foul this is a tremendous combination up top multiple screening action in the back door lob to kitley Cochran late commits that foul and that’s not one she needs to commit that play was already over yeah the size Advantage going towards Virginia Tech’s

Way and Olivia Cochran’s going to be so important for Louisville down low to compete with Elizabeth kitley so she has one foul lva loves the dribble Drive Olivia Cochran has improved this part of her game the face up parts misses into the hands of Kayla King I would say Virginia Tech is an

Opportunistic transition team if they can get an early shot if it’s a the right person taking the three otherwise they’re going to run two and through Elizabeth kitley fast break points not Virginia Tech specialty they only average three and a half per game Kayla King man they need her to hit some shots

Yeah I I keep waiting for Kayla King to get hot and it hasn’t happened yet but it’s it’s going to happen before the season’s over ayore short on the re [Applause] reverse Sydney Taylor at the elbow too [Applause] much aore and Kenny Brooks share the same brain he completely trusts her in

The play calling on this end of the floor and it’s even better when the offense is in front of him Olivia samall Jefferson will push for the cards and she is fouled by Matilda e with Kenny Brooks getting his team to their very first final for shout out to

One of his girls Kendall she turning 26 today today’s her 26th birthday but he has been it’s been incredible what he’s done with this program and he treats it like his family too yeah he is a a remarkable coach Family First he’s done a tremendous job building Virginia Tech

Castle Coliseum is becoming one of the tougher places to go on the road in the ACC because they’ve been packing the place and what’s this game days going now yes officially wow college game day the next stop will be at Virginia Tech that’s fantastic for Kenny Brooks for what he’s been able to

Build with kitley and Amore and Kayla King The Three core pieces of this [Applause] program he more sets things up coach Brooks told us she would be so important to help identify this Louisville defense how to work through it today using her basketball brain as she goes inside to kitley working [Applause]

Five Points three boards for Elizabeth kitley she’s going to score Courtney you just have to make it challenging as much as you can and if you can turn her into a passer that’s even Better ricard’s trying to get past aore you’ll watch Virginia Tech’s defense go under a lot of ball screening action because this is not a three-point shooting team the numbers don’t favor Louisville in that way nor do the percentages but they’re very good driving team very good getting to the

Rim no they only shoot 32% from three and kitley [Applause] cooking it’s going to be a blocking foul on Kayla King well Jeff walls incredible what he’s done considering what he lost only three returners return two starters he’s got a whole new group b basically and he

Loves coaching this team well he is one of five active coaches right now that have been to four final fours you’re talking about a list that includes Tara Vander Gino aryama Kim Moi and Dawn Staley it’s impressive pretty good list Louisville’s last final four coming in

2022 see now kly won’t get a block for that but her presence made Curry pull up quicker and you’ve got to to be able to pull up and score with two feet in the paint without over penetrating against the shot blocker yeah she’s constantly making opponents alter their

Shot in the corner missed by Matilda e Virginia Tech gets another chance this is with a big lineup for Virginia Tech with stack on the court she’s a 65 freshman she’s a player Courtney that averages more rebounds than points she completely understands her role and she’s a tremendous weak side offensive

Rebounder on the counter to kitley Little roll reversal kley dropping a dime to aore Courtney we watch Jeff walls and his team go through baseline out of bounds place today sideline out of bounds that won’t look good on film tomorrow Jada Curry back up top to Jefferson through a double team Kiki Jefferson has scored over two

2,000 points so she certainly understands how to read defense coming up 14 points against Boston College wisel with the Miss yeah I think uh Marissa Russell got a piece of that here goes Russell oh Nyla Harris get yourself a highlight oh what a spin move inside she’s averaging about six more points per game than she did last year as a freshman she told us just’s feeling

Confident yeah if you’re going to sit on the top side of Elizabeth kitley in that set you’re not going to be able to get any backside help when it comes through the middle third you got to get bit ball pressure and try to take that away ky’s

Already has nine points she has not missed a shot [Applause] we haven’t had a lot of whistles uh this is good are you complaining no I’m not complaining Debbie don’t say that out loud here’s this naked two man it means just an isolation with two players looked like Louisville was ready

And they’re going to force the turnover comes down into the hands of Harris and then St fouls her the 62 sophomore her numbers are going up look at this move inside against the 65 freshman Big Time play for the Cardinals I don’t like my daughter says

You have to have a little more maturity about you your Rhythm and your Cadence has to change a little bit I think they’re just playing too fast you know I think they’ve sped themselves up on the defensive end which is what you want because Virginia Tech’s a rhythm team

You got to break that Rhythm but you got to have some maturity on the other end to run your stuff first turnover by Louisville there mlda e picks up a dribble gives it back to aore 10 seconds on the shot clock for the hes [Applause] Oh they dribble right in they played right into that switch wiell gets it off in time off Curry a bit out of control but somehow finds Marissa Russell yeah she can thank Russell for that assist because it was getting ready to be a turnover that’s what I’m talking about under control with [Applause]

Balance aore Fearless driving in all 5 seven of her and she’ll go to the free throw line yeah watch this play right here Curry rumbling stumbling and Russell Bales are out nice floater in the lane by [Applause] Russell first foul against J Curry of Louisville NC State today wins in

Overtime at home against Georgia Tech you see a lot of close scores right now South Carolina trailing Georgia in the third quarter at home they trailed at the half it’s that time of year Courtney right best time it’s the best time if you’re a fan because the grind is for

Real with the players and the teams and and any night anything can happen right now as we move closer to March so beauty of basketball oh and J Curry rolling on the floor looked like she felt that fall [Applause] I think Louisville has worked so hard to play off the bounce

That you know that that Curry has hit the deck a couple of times tough they’re really trying to drive it right at the paint and at Elizabeth kitley Curry took a second there to catch her breath transfer from Cal misses the first well this week’s big Monday double

Header starts at 7 Eastern it’s here on on ESPN you can see the Virginia Tech men host number 21 Virginia in Black blackburg that’s followed by a top 10 matchup 10th ranked Iowa State meeting up with number three Houston with first place in the Big 12 on the line that’s

Coming up on Monday it’s always a great rivalry of Virginia Virginia Tech I had Tony benis team last yesterday actually yesterday afternoon they did you forget what day it was they won a two-point game uh it was a 4947 victory for Virginia it’s fun to be there great atmosphere

It’ll be uh huge in blackburg sold out Castle for that one Mike Young’s team looking for a big win they’ve had some great crowds at Castle for the men and women this season tough place to play Carly win with the reverse lay in Louisville going fast Russell too much

This is definitely Louisville’s Tempo though Kaylor King trying to Dish it back up top to Amore and it’s going to be Lille ball Carly wiel Off the Bench does a nice job of reading the second level and no one rotates to stop penetration once you beat your primary there should be

Someone else there to stop you and no one was there so she takes it to the other side nice finish that’s her first field goal in two games she came in our last two games over three well in in the Duke game The Last Game Virginia Tech played only four players scored

Yeah they’re going to need more balance than that Olivia Cochran wanted the foul call did not get it they’re missing some shots at The [Applause] Rim Louisville three for seven on [Applause] layups suum Corner Pocket called it that should loosen some things around St inside first three by Tech they’re one for six up and in J Curry looks to be okay all you young players you should know this watch Baker she reaches with

Her arm not her body in the passing Lane and that gives Curry a lane to the bucket a straight line drive and a great finish with contact J Curry Jada Curry’s already taking a beating in this first 10 minutes of this game but not playing

Like it spent two seasons at Cal was two time all packed 12 and now here she is in a Louisville Cardinals uniform this will be the last possession of the quarter here for Virginia Tech surprise Kenny Brooks doesn’t put kitley back in for an offensive possession she does have that one foul

But she hasn’t missed a shot into the corner wide open it’s a Miss sum tried to get it Kayla King coming out with it aore for two at the elbow [Applause] swish two looks thanks to the hustle collegiate career as backto back ACC Player of the Year looking to make it

Three in a row that’s only happened two other times Elena beard who’s on that graphic with Barbara Kennedy and Alissa Thomas right Courtney W Antonelli with you from Louisville and Matilda e holding the follow through second three-pointer that Virginia Tech’s hit today how about that behind the back swing swing by Georgia

Amore keep in mind Virginia Tech going under all ball screen action Nina recards off the rim and Virginia Tech keeps its largest lead here at 10 Sam does a really good job on that switch and contests at the rim without [Applause] [Applause] fouling e feeling it and Jeff walls is going to call

This Virginia Tech Team Hannah hadalo for Notre Dame in the the conversation for a national freshman of the Year along with Juju Watkins yeah those are a couple of good ones I wouldn’t leave out Madison Booker at Texas in any of my conversation about National freshman of the year she’s been

Fantastic when Rory Harmon went down know she’s had to step up and take a bigger role for Vic Schaefer in the Texas Longhorn and she has done that well Jeff walls called an early timeout in the second quarter after two three-pointers made by Virginia Tech yeah I like the timeout because Matilda

E was getting hot and it settled down his team and they execute off the timeout which is [Applause] critical we w into the KFC Yum Center here in Louisville Courtney ly and Debbie antelli with you for a top 20 matchup a rematch of the ACC tournament championship game last year you see how

The ACC Stacks up right now Virginia Tech at the top of the conference Louisville sitting at Fourth at 10 and three you want to be a top four seed one of those top four teams so you get the double Buy in the tournament so important right now when everyone’s

Talking about the nitty-gritty of the NCAA in this league the ACC tournament title is Coveted and so is the regular season in a year where it might be one of the best that’s the league has ever seen nine teams right now seated by Charlie cre in the Bracketology league has that Courtney

Well Virginia Tech has brought their offense on the road they are shooting 56% from the Field Georgia Amore hits the fourth three-pointer that’s what you call punishing the switch switches one through five and Georgia Amore one of the top point guards in the country uses the bounce to separate from the defense

Georgia Amore and Elizabeth kitley you’ll hear those two names a lot for Virginia Tech they each have nine points to start this game Nino ricards up and in she was their leading scorer in their win over Boston College on Thursday Louisville has got to find a way to break the rhythm of Virginia Tech and they’ve hit three triples here in this second quarter two of them coming from X she won’t get a third they start the game out establishing Elizabeth kitley which they did nine points in the first quarter

Then the second quarter things loosen up a little bit on the perimeter and they hit shots that’s the balance of this terrific offense for Kenny Brooks the head coach Amore going to her favorite Target Elizabeth kitley at 66 you’re not going to find any anyone else that has the footwork

The fade away the ability to get a deep catch and a combination of all of that in the country she’s the only one with that size that can do all those things CS rattles out and now Elizabeth kitley with that last bucket on the other end

She is in sole possession of third in ACC career points watch Elizabeth kitley right here she gets positioned inside and she does a great job of holding her seal now watch as the play goes away they clear it out there’s no help she catches so quick to make that

Move the kitley special right the little fade away she’s so good at it over that right shoulder which is really challenging look at this Duo they’ve combined for 40.4 points per game that’s the fifth best duo in the nation in Georgia Amore has assisted kitley more times than any other duo in the [Applause] nation good defense by Cochran inside Kiki Jefferson Louisville’s leading score they needed that I’d say that’s a weight room bucket right there she kept her shoulder Square to the backboard so she could handle any contact to finish she’s got seven Louisville fans wanted a travel by Amore Georgia lets it Fly crushed

It oh the crowd was picking up and Amore puts the silencer on him what does it do for Kenny Brooks to have a point guard like Georgia oh my goodness everyone in the country would love to have Georgia Amore on their team she makes everybody else’s job

Easier she is a tremendous point guard who I say sees the three WS who to get the ball to when and where Kenny Brooks has talked about how smart this group is and the head of the snake Georgia Amore Matilda eek she’s just taking what

She wants the other thing he told us is that e is more than a three-point shooter that time straight line drive down the lane line I mean don’t get me wrong they’ll take her two threes that she hit already exactly rarts misses Nyla Harris didn’t get the bucket but will go

To the free throw [Applause] line you were talking about point guards you got some bullet points for us when you look for a good point guard yes Courtney I think there are five really important qualities that good point guards have to have starting with Georgia aore you got to have great

Leadership and a voice on the top of the floor you got to have the handles to control the ground three level scoring from the three to the free throw line to the rim and then you have to make your teammates better and then defense is a part of the equation as well because

Usually the point guard sets the tone on the top of the floor Georgia Amore checks every box did it pain you to put defense on there a little a little I could have added a few more offensive PS there but it is important Georgia Amore amazing point

Guard but also I mean there’s good point guards in the ACC this conference has got a lot of them yeah this is a really good guard league and it always has been and that that’s what has allowed this league to have success in the postseason because once you get to the postseason

Possession shrink the court shrinks and you got to have guards that can make plays kley working away from the basket no problem up to 13 I’m telling you this is where at 66 she’s improved so much her ability to work off of any screening action that Kenny Brooks wants to put

Her in they will move her all over the floor that’s how she had so much success against Duke one and Duke didn’t bring a double team on her she had a season high 34 points in their last game you know they bring her away from the bucket and

Then they dive her back and she catches in the paint with two feet and that’s tough at 66 to to guard cuz her move is very quick she’s perfected it over and over with Kenny Brooks who does all of her personal Workouts Carly winsell running things with Georgia Amore getting a breather on the sideline she won’t be over there for [Applause] long I mean too easy and that is not an easy shot too good she just sizes you up uses her bounce and then gets into her separation moves with her [Applause] Footwork J Curry for Louisville 4 seconds for the cards and Nyla Harris this woman has worked on her game so much talked to her today at shoot around she said I’m just confident shooting the basketball she didn’t get a lot of time last year but she waited her

Turn she worked in the off Seon she sizes up somel and does a nice job of with contact finishing I asked where’s your favorite shot on the floor she goes I do like the Baseline she one far from it I think she’s a true Testament to those that stay work get better show some mental toughness come

Out and get rewarded for it Nyla Harris would be that player for Jeff walls she’s averaging six more points per game than she did last Season Kayla King if she could get going and get out of a little Funk that would be big for the Hokies moving forward is that five triples in the second quarter yes it is they’re five of six from three that’s your type of [Applause] game yeah it’s going to be an offensive

Foul on Marissa Russell she laid that shoulder into her Defender Georgia Amore back in the game Russell will take a seat Kiki Jefferson comes back on for Louisville well Louisville’s got to find a way get some easy buckets so their defense has to generate some extra possessions for them

And they really need to get to the free throw line they’ve only they’re five for eight they need to double up what Virginia Tech does they’re 15th in the nation in free throws made per game well coming up on the Jeep halftime report Kelsey rigs Rebecca Lobo got you

Covered number one South Carolina in a dog fight with Georgia that has been a tough game for them college game day was there they’ll have the break down all of that coming up at the [Applause] Half plus they take a look at that overtime Thriller in Raleigh corner too much for Sydney Taylor Virginia Tech has hit its last six shots offensive foul on X that’s her second and Nyla Harris doing a really good job of establishing and obtaining legal guarding position position watch this remember that restricted area doesn’t matter for the women’s game that Arc is on the floor for the men and

Harris does a really good job of getting to the spot will take a seat eight [Applause] [Applause] points Jeff Wells going to the horn set right here they get Kiki Jefferson a nice look he knows they’re going under so they’re going to keep running that the one thing that Jeff ws and Kenny Brooks both do really well as they don’t over Coach it

If it works they keep going to [Applause] It Carris Baker Jefferson up ahead to Taylor onehanded for Sydney Taylor three on two you need to score George Amore says I can do it too yeah ky’s strong post up took the help away and once Amore got past her primary there was no one there to help it’s a post assist if we could keep it in the stats all right Kiki make it

10 well this crowd is really trying to give this team a lift especially on this end of the floor where they really haven’t been able to stop Virginia Tech Carris Baker waiting my goodness drive down the lane line you just lean a little bit to help on the strong side

Shooter and it’s money you’re not supposed to on a shooter you got to stay home shootter doesn’t mind if you do though seven made threes in the first half for the hokes up and in Kiki Jefferson on another level right now carrying Louisville back into this game she’s got 15 kitley with 15 points eight rebounds if you’re Louisville you hope that Kiki Jefferson did not cool off in the locker room she had 12 of her 15 points in that second quarter well that Jeff walls will run some stuff for her early here in

This matchup with X see if he can get her going as you say keep that hot hand and go to the free throw line maybe would be one way although that might be on the floor yeah that’s going to be the third on act and they will call it on the floor

Here e will take a seat with those three fouls breaking in the basket is Sydney Taylor I mean all she did was curl around the screens and Kayla King was locking Trail and that was a very well executed Baseline out of bounds play so now Louisville hit it L five shots going

Back to the second quarter we mentioned kitley but Amore by the way had 14 points in the first half Kayla King her second three of the afternoon remember we talked about it’s coming she has not had a night where she has gone off from outside the three now

She’s got two looking for a big game out of Kayla King and it hasn’t happened yet she’s just passed the 1,00 point Mark in her career too with that long [Applause] Ball Amore weaving working 16 points the Louisville’s not a in a position right now in the game where they can just trade baskets with Virginia Tech they’re going to have to get some stops on the defensive end n ricards will get the bounce she’s up to eight here comes the full court pressure

Manto man I think they might face guard Amore here and make somebody else handle see if that will cause some disruption to the rhythm of Virginia [Applause] Tech some all over to King WIIL trying to go inside to kitley pass was deflected by Taylor 7 Seconds they swing it to Amore in the

Corner are you kidding the hokeys can shoot till their arm falls off they are on fire outside the ark aore alone is three for three they’ve got nine triples so far in the game that’s right at their season average they make 9.2 threes per game Nyla Harris answers with the two which

Leads the [Applause] ACC so Carly winsell handling it now as Nina ricards is trying to cover up Georg Amore easier said than [Applause] done my goodness always knows where kitle is I heard them on a podcast this week they have this chemistry and they know if one of them’s on they just say

Give her the basketball it’s a feel more than a conversation Sydney Taylor Swishes and Louisville is going to call timeout Georgia Amore the point guard extraordinaire the drive and the Finish no help and then one good shooter passes it to another for the Deep Corner three they’re on fire nine triples Give a girl powder tool and she’ll gain the confidence to create the strength to go against the Grain before you know it she’ll have worked her way up to joiners and jigs sauce because when you give a girl a power tool she becomes an even more power F woman what if the promise of better work wasn’t just something we dreamed about but something we found this might be the

One or better yet no way something that found us I got the interview I recommend L Ro POS lipikar body cream one application a day keeps very dry skin away 48 hour hydration helps repair the Skin Barrier L Ro POS get 0.9% APR on this Buick Envision plus current eligible non-gm owners get 3500 purchase allowance plus no monthly payments for 90 days Like you Ain got to make a Choice you know coach k retirement looks good on you who needs championships when you can look at Birds uh coach I’m looking at a goat a hospital bill for 1,200 bucks Gap did you say Gap he’s talking about the expenses health insurance doesn’t cover but with affle you can get

Money to help close that Gap affle huh affle get help with expenses health insurance doesn’t cover at aflac.com We were just talking about her so let’s hear from Georgia a more in our wooden watch brought to you by principal personally what drives me to be the best is definitely the fear of not reaching my full potential and knowing that I have so much more to give

And not tapping into that but for a team standpoint you know the coaches and the girls have put in so much effort and I would be cheating them if I didn’t give them 100% there’s no doubt that Georgia Amore gives 100% her last seven games since her return from a concussion she’s

Averaging over 20 points and over eight assists per game she’s got 19 points six assists today only one person in the country has more assists than Georgia Amore maybe you’ve heard of her name’s Caitlyn Clark I think so yeah uh Georgia controls the ground she’s a great leader

She understands what I call the three WS who to get the ball to when and where she has a full handle on the Personnel at her disposal and she stepped out of bounds Kenny [Applause] Brooks what a luxury to have Georgia Amore and you mention it look at these

Two look at the bottom note here the only two players in D1 with 17 plus seven and two a game Candy Brook switches to his own off that Jeff walls timeout and there’s a foul on the [Applause] floor Louisville very good in their Baseline out of bounds execution the last time let’s see if Virginia Tech will stay in that Zone looks like they will stay in that 23 you like the change I like it because loville hasn’t hit a lot of Threes And you got to make him hit some threes protect inside out especially when you go with a big lineup with st and kley [Applause] together kley gets the switch she’s

Pointing where she wants the pass come from for the L she’s got the smaller recards on her they throw it in there and she’s fouled watch kitley point she’s going to right here watch her point where she wants the pass to come from there she’s saying pass it to

St because we’re going to go over the top on a lob she catches in traffic and draws the foul nice work by Elizabeth Kitley [Applause] [Applause] Tech sticking with the Zone how do you attack it if you’re Louisville well Sydney Taylor is a very good three-point shooter so you got to run her off some screening action have her cut through the zone or she can drive like that take it in Taylor she’s got to love it when she

Sees a Zone Jeff walls told us today Sydney Taylor has got to attack off the bounce she is extremely athletic they want her to use that they got it to 12 they get a stop right here and a score they’re going to be right back in it look how quickly Virginia Tech’s

Accelerating through their stuff now you see this is what Louisville needed to do all game is to get them off balance speed him up don’t let him get comfortable they also lead the league and assists uhoh George Amore comes up a little bit [Applause] limping you would have to make her come

Out of the game so like I’m immediately going to inbound don’t even look over here yeah she’s a great athlete and she’s an incredible competitor and she has toughness physical and mental toughness the foul was on Marissa Russell her second kitley off the inbound too easy that’s 19 points for [Applause]

Her kitley and Amore both with 19 [Applause] points they combin to average 40 points a game they’re almost there samel reaches from behind it’s going to the Third on her when you’re playing that zone there still has man-to-man principles you can’t let somebody cut across the front of your face

And we’ve hit five minutes in the quarter so we step aside Virginia Tech still up shooting almost 70% from the Field thank you agent State Farm like a good neighbor State Farm is there cut Hey Arnold I’m hearing neba it’s neighbor that’s what I said neba let’s go again like a good neighbor State Farm is there cut neighbor still know neighbor neighbor get me under of this Chopper

At two by North Carolina and this Virginia Tech Team then at 5:30 Eastern Duke hosting NC State that’s coming up on Sunday on the ACC Network Full Slate of games that are all impactful in the race and the seating in the ACC tournament keep in mind top four teams

Get the double by I don’t know how you could possibly win this year in the ACC if you don’t have the double buy playing one extra game will be taxing on anybody so there’s a kick ball they’ll do this again we saw Virginia Tech go to a Zone

Before the timeout Olivia Cochran with the bucket she’s been quiet in fact those are her first points today quiet remember Courtney I said I thought they would switch up their defense in the break and they did have you done this before few years wowor I mean you try to take away the

Three with a longer close out and she blows by you bring a short close out she sticks the triple now they’re back in the zone Amore’s got over 20 points for the 12th time this season look at how Virginia Tech is communicating talking all action J Curry she’ll go for two instead

Yes good pump fake by Curry Louisville’s got to get it done on this in they trap Amore forces her into the turnover it will stay with Louisville I mean Amore tries to stretch the Trap but that pass over the top is too tough and watch this right here here

Comes the Trap but then watch Olivia Cochran right here she jumps out into the passing lane cuz she sees it and reads it gets a turnover for Louisville that’s exactly what they [Applause] need haris speeding Cochran cutting and finally the offense coming for Olivia Cochran welcome to the game Big

O Louisville’s hit its last four shots that’s off of J Curry’s foot big go second on the team in scoring makes herself available in the logo area through contact and here she [Applause] comes it’s getting louder inside the Yum Center got the towels going might have been a double

Dribble Amore’s going to get it away and get it over to clar Sten time so while we’ve been talking about Virginia Tech Chang in their defense Louisville as also they’ve gone to trapping ball screens and trapping Amore making somebody else beat them make her get the ball out of her

Hands and it’s worked two possessions cochan in and out windel will slow things down Amore comes and gets it they’ve got 20 seconds to [Applause] work there comes the Trap as she stepped over the line sure did so they’ve gone to the Trap three times and twice they’ve created

Turnovers it’s exactly the way Louisville needs to get extra possessions again they’re trapping this ball screen action you see Amore stop put her foot on the on the half court Line This plays for Olivia [Applause] Cochran Cochran asking for it back she’ll step into a three she had a good look at it but she hasn’t made one all year second look won’t drop [Applause] either so you got to get out of the middle third with the ball screen action there’s a ghost action by

Kitley cuz you know they’re trapping so run your ball screen stuff to the side quinel taking it going over the top of Olivia Cochran [Applause] I think Georgia Amore shows incredible confidence in her [Applause] teammates back outside to Taylor and Elizabeth kitley is going to be fouled by Cochran that’s her second I like it big O getting aggressive she’s got to in her fourth year with Louisville she’s got the opportunity to come back

If she wanted to next [Applause] year as someone who loves the college game I hope she comes back yeah Amore had six turnovers in the Duke game she’s had a few here in this this quarter Curry too much roville fans thought that kitley fouled Cochran dner the official signaling for a

Flop so that’ll go as a warning oh wow what a stick by kitley and now she’s over 20 points both her and Georgia Amore over for the 20 point mark they’ll adjudicate the Flop at the next dead [Applause] Ball Jefferson fouled by Liz kitley first second kitley comes down with a rebound in a crowd does she move the ball in her arms together see I I think that’s a basketball play I don’t think there’s anything intentional about that but there is contact above the shoulders usually they go and look at

That Kiki Jefferson looking for her first points in the third quarter the men have a rule called the cylinder rule we don’t have that in the women’s game I wish we did cuz that’s exactly the play right there with the defense is right underneath the offensive player that’s a tough

One two for Jefferson L I mentioned Elizabeth kley has 20 points Virginia Tech has fared well in her career when she scores 20 or more points they’re 47 and N including 13- one this season she’s got a double double adding 10 rebounds to that that’s her 19th

Double double this year she’s the goto and she’s the bail out I like what Louisville is doing here defensively being disruptive Amore almost stepped over the line again 10 seconds now Ral all kinds of [Applause] pressure jump ball possession arrow to Tech if you’re Jeff walls you got to be

Pleased with the effort your players have given here you just haven’t been able to get it closer than 10 you know they’ve had some good looks on the offensive end but what they’re doing defensively has been disruptive and has broken the rhythm of Virginia Tech I mean come on they’re shooting 70% from

The floor you got to do something to change their Flow two seconds time for a catch and dribble X coming in doesn’t need the dribble they’ve been really good on out of bounds Place Courtney ly and de Antonelli with you 10 minutes to go in a game where Virginia Tech is shooting 71% from the field that would be an ACC season high but we’ve seen Louisville come on more aggressive with their defense especially in that third quarter King in and out well Virginia

Tech is 12 for 13 on layups in the game they’ve made their layups and they’ve done a good job of making free throws three for three that’s why they’re so efficient Lille was getting the pressure defensively but they weren’t finishing on the offensive end they didn’t score

For the last three and a half minutes of the third quarter and that changes with Jay Curry I don’t know how much longer Kenny Brooks is going to stay in this zone asz louville is finding a [Applause] way so Virginia Tech gets Amore off the ball because of the track raing on the

Ball screen action she did turn it over a couple of times she’s got to handle so much responsibility for this team see look Louisville’s pushed him way out of their offense then there’s the bailout kitley a rare miss a rare back to back miss you mentioned the turnovers

Virginia Tech did have five turnovers in the third [Applause] quarter Cochran trying to give her spell space [Applause] more a little feet Shuffle got the Louisville crowd going Kayla King there it is her third three-pointer today I’m telling you she’s not done either cuz she her stroke looks like it looked last

Year smooth and Amore does such a great job of setting her up that little shovel pass that she makes to Kayla King puts it right in the pocket and she saw 37 almost 38% from three last year Nina ricards with a spin and up and in she’s into double figures

Louisville’s got to keep the heat on and Virginia Tech needs to stay aggressive in running their stuff against the ball pressure foul on J Curry first second watch this play right here nice move inside recards high off the glass I talking to her at shootter around she said she’s had to play more

Of that point guard position than she did at Florida it’s forced her to be a little more patient with her Offense some does not get the bounce look at the pace picking up for Louisville they need to change the pace on both ends of the floor offensive rebound by Nyla Harris we haven’t heard much from Jefferson she takes the shot there she had just two points in the third

Quarter Kayla King holding the back of her head after hitting the deck Louisville picking up their aggressiveness on the glass looking to crash lot of contact there’s contact in there especially the game’s picking up right nobody’s in foul [Applause] trouble aore rejects the screen ricards falls down oh open paint for Georgia Amore 23 points now she’s 9 for 10 from the

Field I mean she’s just toying with Louisville right here it’s her change of pace it’s another gear it’s how she reads the switch okay the defender falls down and then she comes off the screen and if you don’t cut her off there’s no help you got to worry about kitley posting you

Got to think about the drop off pass she’s got her eighth double double they’ve all been points assists double double and that’s a foul on Amore well you had two whistles on that one so both officials in agreement on that that’s her [Applause] first somebody’s got to come take it out for Louisville [Applause] Trip Jefferson getting the bounce that’s the vulnerable spot inside that zone around the ACC area and Jefferson certainly capable of the mid-range she had 12 of her 19 in the third [Applause] quarter kley just Fades away my goodness wow it’s a post clinic inside her footwork is tremendous Curry misses gets her own

Rebound Jefferson stepping into it Louisville’s got to get some stops right now at 17 points they still still have time but they’ve got to get three stops in a row three scores to make this a [Applause] game that’s a poor pass from the top swatted Away by Curry looking for

The transition bucket and Kayla King defends it well what a great hustle play by Kayla King because now she allows Virginia Tech to set their defense this feed over the top is a great hustle play by King Kayla King starts to get her Swagger back watch out another

Weapon mov just gets it in in time Cochran third foul on [Applause] kitley Cochran gets into the body of kitley draws a foul kley liked a little verticality there I think you know sometimes when you bump into the chest of someone you naturally fold well this week’s big Monday double

Hatter starts at 7 Eastern here on ESPN you can see the Virginia Tech men take on number 21 Virginia in Black blackburg that’s followed by a top 10 matchup 10th ranked Iowa State number three Houston Iowa State Houston if you like defense Kelvin Samson’s Club is one of

Go it could be or could resemble a rock fight in that game but I’m telling you what the guards are too good for Houston Curry no oh Louisville now three for 14 from behind the ark five minutes to [Applause] go Virginia Tech is led by as many as 18 [Applause]

Streak It For the Win Turney time coming up time now for today’s need to know brought to you by the USBs ground Advantage Elizabeth kitley only player in ACC history in the top 10 in rebounds now points as of this game well she was before but now she’s

Third and blocks and she’s going for a third ACC Player of the Year title she’s been phenomenal all season so consistent so talented you know you want your offensive game to always make the defense wrong no matter what coverages they throw at you you always find an

Answer and she and Georgia Amore always do have an answer Thea X that was a pretty good Euro Step around the defense X got 12 she’s one of three players for the Hokies in double figures paymore and kitley are the other two with 23 a piece look at big oh flashing

In the middle of the paint you better give number 44 the ball when she’s that big and that wide inside borrowed kley fade away to shoot over the top of her [Applause] some picked up her dribble and then turned it [Applause] Over good fight in Louisville during this second half Jeff walls has tried as many things as he could try but they just haven’t made enough shots that’s a wideopen 15ot jump shot in the middle of the zone and it’s hard to not be making shots when your opponent’s hitting 67% now from the

Field I still think Louisville can be really dangerous they can put it all together oh yeah not sure they’ve had a a peak game yet this year you can see flashes on both sides of the [Applause] ball that’s the third on Sydney Taylor when you look at they’re all the

Same size pretty much that’s why they switch on everything there’s a switch to steal and there’s a switch to contain here comes a [Applause] double aort gets it to e 8 seconds KX King is going to be a little bit short kitley offensive board stays with the

Hokies those are the plays where I want to see kitley Power to the basket like not lose her balance you know dribble the ball like she wants to score not just put it down big difference like that yes I would even like to hear a little sound effect out of Her here’s the [Applause] switch and there’s kitley fouled [Applause] second on KiKi Jefferson look Elizabeth kitley knows she’s the targeted player on the top of every scouting report and she handles her emotions so well it’s not easy being 66 and everybody collapsing on you all the time

Yet she has per perfected and worked on her craft over and over you got mad respect for players that add to their skill set every year and you put her combined with Georgia Amore they average just over 40 points per game today they are past that Mark 23

Each we can add one more for kitley she’s a 24 now after that free throw when you have so much skill Courtney you know and and no matter what the defense brings you have a counter you have something that you can go to they both have it in their offensive skill

Set little Runner by J Curry on the Baseline the other thing too is secondary ball handlers have done a decent job for Virginia Tech when the ball’s not in Amore’s hands all the time they’ve had to use that because of this trap that Louisville has brought starting in the third quarter where you

Bring a ball screen and they like to use the Trap 3 [Applause] seconds [Applause] almost well Jeff walls is going to go and show his players in film how many wide open shots they’ve had and how they have not been able to knock them down and then if you start knocking

Down some shots then it fuels your defensive energy just a little bit more the closest they got was 10 right I think so yeah just in this quarter alone they’re only shooting 35% from the field five of 14 I mean it is a work of art it is

Gorgeous and they feed the post so well their timing is so good and then kitley [Applause] [Applause] delivers watch this play in here okay look at the post up wide open steps away with separation and it’s a bounce pass at 66 Courtney okay most 66 players ERS don’t

Bend their knees they all want the lob kitley shapes up to the ball she’ll show the numbers on her Jersey and two hands while she’s holding off the defense because she’s in a really good postup stance and she’s on balance so when she catches it she can fade away

And reverse pivot it’s beautiful 26 points beautiful [Applause] today The other thing coach walls will show his team is if you play with this kind of Defense of energy and this kind of effort the way they tra the way they tried to get Virginia Tech off bals they did their job in spa in in segments of

The game but then they couldn’t counter and score on the other end well when it comes to the NCAA tournament right now Virginia Tech projected to be a three seed regardless of the results of this game today although it looks like they’re going to come out with a

Win they’re an 18 in the net this is a team again that went to the final four last year their very first appearance in school history well and if Louisville should lose this game and it looks like they will then they might slip off the four

Line but it’s okay they’ve got a chance to get back to the four line because the schedule in the ACC will give you plenty of opportunity to get some quality net wins again Charlie K has nine teams out of the ACC projected in the field that’s

Tied for the most with the SEC who also has nine St to stuff Jefferson they wave off the basket get foul on the floor second on aore Carris Baker will subm in for Georgia Amore 23 points tonight 10 assists four rebounds impressive and you talked about Elizabeth Kidley had not

Won in this building before before this is the first W this is a tough place to come in and get a win it always has been tough Jeff walls’ club for 13 consecutive years has led the ACC in attendance it’s always been a tough [Applause] [Applause] crowd it’s a big W right here Courtney go on the road and be a top 20 team [Applause] yeah it’s the first more great women’s college basketball coming up Monday over on ESPN 2 you can see Hannah hialgo Notre Dame take on Duke 7 Eastern tomorrow night had to

Think about that for a second it is Sunday wait what day is it yeah where we’re in louville it’s been fun fun game I think that’s the first time they’ve gotten the ball behind the defense and it results in a kick out three I’m going tell you Virginia Tech

Was impressive you know what kitley does you know what Amore does and today was a day that Louisville just could not stop them from scoring they couldn’t take anything away well Virginia Tech goes on the road and they shoot 65 point 4% from the field that is their best field goal

Percentage in an ACC game all time and they went it 86- 70

The #12 Hokies went on the road and defeated the #18 Cardinals, 86-70. The Hokies have won nine games in a row and remain atop the ACC standings. Virginia Tech shot the best field goal percentage in an ACC game in program history, making 65.4% of their shots versus Louisville. Elizabeth Kitley had a double-double with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Georgia Amoore also had a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists. Louisville had four players score in double figures, with Kiki Jefferson’s 19 points leading the way. Jada Curry added 13 points off of the bench.
