BURN THE HORSE
If you had listened to the Steve Shields/Joe Foley Radio show last night on KARN, you would have learned that:- Freshman guard Chuck Guy's minutes were limited on Saturday due to injury. Guy was much better at practice on Monday.
Junior Courtney Jackson is playing with torn cartilage and will have to have surgery after the season. He has been limited in practice.
- Coach Steve Shields believes the re-emergence of junior Marlon Louzeiro is a product of two things. First, the work he put in last year with John Barron, losing almost 40 pounds. Second, his attitude when he was not getting any minutes a few weeks ago. Louzeiro didn't pout. Instead he took advantage of the opportunity when it came.
- Coach Joe Foley was impressed with the way his team handled the adversity of playing without Chasity Reed and Janette Merriex for much of Sunday's game due to foul trouble.
- Foley thought Sunday's game was the best of the career of freshman Taylor Ford.
- Foley said Shanika Butler absolutely took over the game with 10 minutes remaining.
