Normally performed as a pre-game drill, the layup line went a little long Sunday afternoon. Reason being: Marquette is a little short.
En route to a 90-72 victory and a spot in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16, the University of Louisville women's basketball team continued to impose its will on overmatched opponents with another lopsided victory defined by pulverizing post play.
Two days after three U of L players grabbed at least 10 rebounds apiece in a tour of Boise State, Myisha Hines-Allen and San Fuehring continued to set a dominant tone while combining for 15 layups and 43 points at the KFC Yum Center.
The 6-foot-2 Hines-Allen sank her first 10 shots from the field in a 24-point performance. The 6-foot-3 Fuehring's 19 points were her career high. With Marquette starting four guards and no one taller than willowy 6-footer Allazia Blockton, U of L coach Jeff Walz' gameplan was more frontal assault than flanking maneuvers.
