The Louisville women’s basketball team just won its 10th game in a row and Sunday may have been its biggest of the season. 

The Cardinals, ranked No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, defeated No. 6 Connecticut 69-64 at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday. The Huskies (6-3) entered Sunday’s game undefeated in that arena, until the Cardinals (10-1) ended that streak. 

Louisville was led by Kianna Smith and Hailey Van Lith, each who scored 16 points and had crucial second-half runs. Ahlana Smith finished with 11 points, nine of hers came in the first half. 

The Cardinals used a stellar defensive performance to overcome a slow start and hold on against the Huskies. This win caps Louisville’s non-conference schedule, which featured four ranked teams. 

Next up for Louisville is Boston College on Dec. 30 to open ACC play.

Louisville finds its stroke from deep 

As good as Louisville was defensively, we have to start with the Cardinals’ shooting from deep. 

Louisville entered Sunday’s game shooting just 35% from deep, including Van Lith who was 5-of-33. It showed out against UConn, shooting 53% from the field. 

Van Lith was a perfect 2-of-2 from deep and hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Emily Engstler hit one, Kianna Smith was 1-of-4 from deep and Ahlana Smith was 3-of-4 from deep. 

Hard to lose when you play defense the way Louisville does and shoot more than 50% from deep. 

Cardinals defense keeps it in the game

Louisville was awful offensively in the first half against the Huskies. 

The Cardinals began the game 1-of-9 from the field and were down 10-2 early in the first quarter. But defense has been the strength for the Cardinals all year and it was again on Sunday. 

Louisville held UConn to 64 points per game…

Louisville ended a 30-game winning streak at the Mohegan Sun for UConn today, coming away with a 69-64 win. This marks the first time a Jeff Walz Louisville team has beaten UConn in Connecticut.

The Huskies were on a roll in the first half outscoring No. 6 Louisville in the paint 16-6 and capitalizing on 9 Cardinal turnovers. Louisville was struggling to find their footing on both ends of the court after Emily Engstler picked up two fouls in the first three minutes of the game. In fact, Louisville never led in the first half and saw their largest deficit of the season. The Cards saw the momentum shift with two back-to-back three pointers from Ahlana Smith and Kianna Smith just before the halftime break and cut the UConn lead to just three points.

Louisville was a different team coming out in the third quarter. Kianna Smith scored 11 points in the third and Emily Engstler made her return coming up with big aggressive plays on defense. Shots started falling for the Cards in the second half as Hailey Van Lith dropped 10 points and Engstler scored all 9 of her points in the last ten minutes. Despite giving No. 7 UConn way too many second chance points and being outscored in the paint by a large margin (38-12), Louisville was able to hold off a strong defensive team for their 10th straight win.

Hailey Van Lith and Kianna Smith led the team in scoring with 16 points each. Emily Engstler led in rebounding with 6 and Ahlana Smith led in steals with 2 on the night. As a team, the Cards were shooting 43.1% and found a strong 21 fastbreak points.

Louisville will take a break for the…

The Yorktown Parks and Recreation Commission last week unanimously approved a short hiking trail in Mohegan Lake on town-owned parkland. The one-mile proposed trail has been named Tall Timber Park, occupying the former 1940-70 site of the Tall Timber summer camp and bungalow colony. The park is bordered by Scofield Road on the south, Ivy Road on the east, Crossways Road on the north, and Heyward Street on the West.

The Tall Timber Park trail was proposed last spring by the Tall Timber Park Committee, a volunteer group of Mohegan Lake residents who have marked and mapped out the trail and who will clear a path through brush and fallen trees and mark the final trail.

The proposal has met with strong opposition since July when residents on Ivy and Crossways Roads claimed the trail was a security threat because it ran too close to their homes. A Parks and Recreation Commission public meeting in July became openly contentious with demands for the trail to be either eliminated or severely shortened. Responding to those concerns, the Tall Timber Park Committee cut out the Crossways Road trail entrance and moved the proposed trail route further away from both Crossways and Ivy Roads.

The Tall Timber Park committee has since revised the trail five times in response to nearby residents. Each revision pinched in the trail’s loop moving it as far to the center of the park and away from any homes. Many neighbors then requested the trail be one path where hikers would walk up and back. Questions were raised by those opposing the trail about advertising the trail on websites and in trail publications.

At last week’s meeting, about 30 people showed up to the Yorktown Parks and Recreation Commission public hearing to either voice support…

Tame Impala will embark on a headlining tour of North America next spring in continued support of The Slow Rush. The tour features a few scattered festival dates, but runs officially from March 7 when it kicks off in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to March 23 when it wraps in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tickets for the March 2022 arena shows go on sale on Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. local time. The tour features stops in Toronto, Brooklyn, Boston, Hampton, Asheville, and more.

The tour announcement arrives with a new song, “No Choice”. The previously unreleased track was pulled from the forthcoming The Slow Rush deluxe box set, arriving Feb. 18 via Interscope. The set includes B-sides, like “The Boat I Row,” and remixes of the Grammy-nominated 2020 album, including the pre-album single “Patience” in its original and remixed form, and remixes of The Slow Rush.

“Being a personality onstage, that’s something I’ve been growing into,” Kevin Parker told Rolling Stone in 2019. “Saying fuck it and being that person who can rile up the audience. That’s someone I never saw myself as.”

Planes TWP. — “Elvis” is at a sold-out house in Mohegan San Pocono on Sunday.

The “Elvis Tribute Artist Spectacular” Holiday Show, starring the world-famous Shawn Klush and sponsored by Fabulous Ambassador, will be held in front of a sold-out audience on Sunday, December 12th at 3pm. Appears in Pocono.

Klush decorates the main stage of the Keystone Grand Ballroom with the best sound of the legendary “King of Rock and Roll”, Elvis Presley.

Called “the closest to the king at a concert,” Klush was born and raised in Pittston. Because of his love of music, he began to imitate the music idol Elvis Presley.

In a telephone interview on Tuesday, Klush said he had been doing his Elvis tribute show for 25 years and he still loves what he does. He traveled around the world and went to sold-out venues.

“And it’s all thanks to Elvis,” Klush said. “Elvis changed from rags to wealth overnight. It’s a complete American story. Elvis was born in the southern countryside, an only child (his brother died at birth), and he is complete. I was devoted to my mother. “

Klush said he always enjoys going home and playing in front of a local audience.

“And I’m grateful for the opportunity to do that and meet many of my fellow NEPA fans,” he said.

In 2016, Klush from Pittston played Elvis in HBO’s hit series “Vinyl.” He has appeared on the TV show “What We Do in the Shadows,” an FX vampire comedy starring Nick Kroll, famous for his big mice. As you can imagine, Klush plays Vampire Elvis. “

“It’s a great show-it’s a lot of fun to do,” he said.

Klush is still talking to Priscilla Presley and said he has received high praise from Graceland’s family and people.
