The Cats open Monday versus Chaminade (D2), who just played at UofL tonight (ESPN+) and made a game of it until the Cards finally shook them off at the end. Final: 80-73. They are very scrappy, which makes up for their lack of size.
The Silverswords have a 6'8" kid who came off the bench. He is their tallest player. A 6'7" forward started.
Chaminade played man-to-man the entire game, as did the Cards. On offense, they tried to go for quick drives, then kick out for treys. They shot quite a few of them. The Silverswords also shot their free throws well.
The game ended with them pressing relentlessly full court, which they didn't employ until the final minute. Chamanide certainly didn't quit.
[I wasn't impressed with UofL. They were taller and more athletic, but nothing about the way they played stood out.]
