Nearly four months after being defeated 70-48, Michigan has a chance to avenge their loss to Louisville on a grand stage. The Wolverines face the Cardinals in the women's Elite Eight tonight with a trip to the Final Four at stake. MarchMadness
“We really figured out, you know, if people are doubling and tripling me, how to put people in their best spots to be a contributor to our team and focusing on slowing down the game for us sometimes,” Hillmon said.“I would say we just can’t take that game into account,” Louisville guard Hailey Van Lith said. “We can look at it for things that went well for us, but it’s March. Everyone is going to put their best foot forward, everyone is going to fight.
The Cardinals also have something to prove, having reached the Final Four three times and the national title game twice but never the championship. “As a senior, obviously, getting to go to a Final Four would be everything,” Louisville guard Kianna Smith said. “I would say our goal is to win it all. We don’t want to sell ourselves short. We want to do something that Louisville has never done before and that’s win a national championship, but we’re not looking too far ahead. We’re taking it one game at a time and enjoying all the little moments together.”Hillmon is a dynamic interior presence who averages 21.
“I think she is a difference maker,” Barnes Arico said. “You have a 6-2 athlete that she is and can move so well, can block shots so well, can play and probably defend any position one through five. I think he gives her the freedom to roam around and to be able to double, to be able to be a pest, to be able to just go run at somebody.
