By Justin Renck: Villanova 73- Louisville 64 It’s been a while since I have had a post-game write-up. I figured I would come back and do one tonight after a Cards victory, and by the looks of it, I had plenty of things to write about. Wayne’s shooting, Stephan Van Treese sparking a 1st half run, Gorgui finding…

By Justin Renck: What better day to post an interview with Kyle Kuric, than on Louisville vs Syracuse day! We all remember when Kuric made his name as a Louisville Cardinal in the final game at Freedom Hall in 2010 against #1 Syracuse. So today just seems appropriate for this. I wanted to catch up…
By Justin Renck: When I think of UofL-Syracuse, the first thing that comes to mind was the final game at Freedom Hall, or the “Kyle Kuric show”. It is kind of weird to even think that before this game, Kuric was never really a main player for UofL. He was ending his sophomore year and only averaging…

By Justin Renck: We always see the big time football and basketball recruits make a big deal about where they are going to college. They even get on TV just to choose where they commit to, and some may not even sign there eventually! So why can’t a volleyball recruit do the same? Well, that…
