the Louisville coach from finding positives in a victory that welcomed another
player into an exclusive club.Mariya Moore scored nine points to surpass 1,000
career and No. 4 Louisville held Chattanooga to 30 percent shooting for a 63-47
victory on Monday night to wrap up site play in the Hall of Fame
Challenge.Playing their third game in as many days, the Cardinals (6-0) were
never threatened in their tuneup ahead of Sundays Challenge matchup against
third-ranked South Carolina. They controlled the pace, spread the ball around
and held Chattanooga (3-3) to 17 of 57 shooting from the field in ending its
two-game winning streak.I thought we did a lot of really good things in that
first part of the game, said Walz, whose team shot 44 percent and made 18
assists on its 25 baskets. We got the pace going that we wanted, we executed
well, and we passed the ball, a lot of good things.When we subbed, we kind of
took a step back and thats something I talked to our bench players about. ... We
should go forward. That part was a little bit of a concern for me, but overall
our effort was good.Besides becoming Louisvilles 27th player to break 1,000
points, Moore had seven assists and four rebounds. Myisha Hines-Allen had 10
boards along with seven points.Moore was presented with a specially-designed
ball after the game and said of her milestone, Its a blessing. It just shows
hard work, I guess, but Im more happy that were 6-0.Queen Alford scored 20
points and Jasmine Joyner had 15 rebounds and seven blocks for Chattanooga. The
Mocs committed 19 turnovers in its third game of the Challenge, an eight-team,
round-robin competition being played at several sites. The event continues
Sunday in Springfield, Massachusetts.POLL IMPLICATIONSLouisville followed up its
one-spot rise in the poll with an easy win ahead of Sundays showdown against
third-ranked South Carolina that will affect its ranking.THE BIG
PICTUREChattanooga: The Mocs 1-of-8 start from the field helped dig 25-12
first-quarter hole that they spent the rest of the game trying to climb out of.
We came out tentative in a way that surprised me, coach Jim Foster said. We
played with effort, but we needed 40 minutes of effort and just got 30. For the
first 10 minutes, it wasnt where it needed to be.The Mocs finished even on the
boards (36-36) and blocked three more shots than Louisville (8-5) thanks to
Joyner, who has 29 rebounds and 16 rejections the past two games.Louisville: The
Cardinals shot 50 percent in the first half before cooling off to 44 percent for
the game. While their scoring total was the lowest this season, 11 of 13 players
scored while playing for the third straight day. Louisville also made all 10
free throws, its best single-game percentage with double-digit attempts going
back to 2000. The Cardinals entered the game averaging 65 percent from the
line.UP NEXTChattanooga: The Mocs return home from their weekend in Louisville
to host Wisconsin-Green Bay on Friday.Louisville: The Cardinals face their first
major test this season against No. 3 South Carolina on Sunday when the Hall of
Fame Challenge moves to Springfield, Massachusetts. It will mark the first game
