Louisville basketball: Jeff Walz on adjusting starting lineup vs Miami
Louisville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz talks adjusting the starting lineup over the last two games after Merrissah Russell had a death in her family.
Louisville women’s basketball has a chance at a resume-boosting win today when it hosts No. 13 Georgia Tech.
The squad is currently projected to be a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament thanks, in part, to an 0-5 record against top-25 teams. But Louisville has been on a hot streak having won five straight games and will look to use the momentum to get its first ranked win of the season.
Georgia Tech had previously been unbeaten but fell to Virginia Tech, 105-94, in double overtime on Thursday. Louisville has the overall advantage against the Yellow Jackets with an 11-0 all-time series advantage.
“It’s going to be a great game,” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. “It’s one I hope we can get a huge crowd for. I think it should be a lot of excitement. Tech’s been playing some really good basketball. They shoot the 3 extremely well, and they shoot a lot of them, and they’re rebounding. We’re going to have our hands full but it’s going to be a great game.”
It only gets more difficult from there. Ranking 16th nationally in strength of schedule, the Cardinals have five more ranked teams on their slate: a home-and-home series against third-ranked Notre Dame, home games against No. 25 California and No. 18 North Carolina, and road games at No. 24 Florida State and No. 14 Duke.
With a daunting backloaded schedule, Walz has been encouraged by how much growth his freshman-heavy squad has shown over the past month.
“We have a lot of youth that’s playing a lot of minutes,” he said. “That’s something where, with time and continuing to get experience, they’re getting better and better, and that’s what we have to have. We’ve got to continue to put building blocks, one on top of another, and keep this thing going.”
Stay tuned for updates throughout the ACC clash.
The game will be broadcast on ACC Network with Angel Gray and Helen Williams on the call. Qualified subscribers can stream the game on ESPN+.
Nick Curran (play-by-play) and Cortnee Walton (analyst) will have the call on the Cardinal Sports Network (WLCL 93.9-FM and WGTK 970-AM in Louisville).

New York Jets Named a Perfect Fit for Georgia Football Prospect
The New York Jets have been named a perfect fit for a Georgia wide receiver.
The NFL draft is less than a month away. Teams are finalizing their draft boards as most of the pre draft work is in the rear view mirror now. The Georgia Bulldogs have a list of players who are expected to be selected in this year’s draft.
One of the more intriguiing prospects coming out of Georgia this year is wide receiver Zachariah Branch. He doesn’t have the typicalf frame of an NFL wide receiver, but the playmaking abilities he showcased last season with the Bulldogs are hard to ignore.
It’s often hard to place a player like Branch in the draft and determine where he would fit best in the league, but ESPN’s Matt Bowen named one NFL team as the perfect fit for Branch.
Why the New York Jets Should Draft Georgia’s Zachariah Branch
Bowen believes the New York Jets should draft Branch with the 47th overall pick in the second round of the draft.
“The Jets need to add receiving talent opposite Garrett Wilson, so Branch makes sense as a dynamic slot target who is electric after the catch,” Bowen wrote. “Branch lacks the size to make contested catches at a high rate, but he can produce explosive plays on routes that allow him to run away from coverage (crossers, overs) with his 4.33 speed. Plus, new coordinator Frank Reich can also scheme touches for Branch as a motion/movement target on screens, fly sweeps and RPOs.”
Branch was the focal point of Georgia’s offense last season. He had 81 receptions last season and the next highest on the team was Dillon Bell who had 27 on the season. The Bulldogs’ offensive identity in the passing attack essentially became “How many ways can get Branch the ball?”
His short area quickness and elusivness in the open field make him one of the hardest players to tackle. The only question as he enters the league is will it translate?
If Branch’s next team can replicate what Georgia was able to do at the collegiate level, then Branch will likely be a successful professional. Will he lead his new team in receptions? Likely not. But there is no denying that Branch’s speed and ability to create yards after the catch ca translate to the next level. It all boils down to him finding the right fit, and that could be with the Jets.

3 Georgia men arrested after attempted break-in at Larsa Pippen’s Pinecrest home
Three men from Georgia are behind bars after police say they tried to break into the home of reality TV star Larsa Pippen in Pinecrest — and it was all caught on camera.
According to the Pinecrest Police Department, the attempted burglary happened Sunday afternoon along Southwest 113th Street.
Surveillance video shows two men trying to force their way into the home. Authorities say Pippen was not inside at the time — but was watching the situation unfold live through her security cameras.
“The resident of the house was not home at the time — was actually watching live on her security cameras,” said Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen.
Police identified the suspects as Elijah Russell, Treison Booker, and Cortez Johnson.
Investigators say after attempting to break into the home, the men fled in a getaway car — but crashed near Southwest 94th Street and 57th Avenue. From there, they ran into the surrounding neighborhood.
“At this point, the occupants of the vehicle scatter into the neighborhood,” Cohen said.
A large police response followed, with assistance from Coral Gables Police Department, South Miami Police Department, and the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities say a K-9 unit tracked down one suspect in a nearby yard, while another ran across 57th Avenue and jumped into a canal. A third suspect was later found hiding in a neighbor’s bushes after a resident called police.
Cohen says he personally chased that suspect, who also jumped a fence and into a canal before being taken into custody.
All three men are now facing burglary charges and remain in custody. Police say each suspect has a prior criminal history.
During a court appearance Monday, a judge noted Russell had an active warrant out of Georgia tied to felony armed robbery and aggravated assault with a weapon.
Prosecutors also cited Cortez Johnson’s prior probation violations, failures to appear, and past convictions. Treison Booker was also described as having a criminal history in Georgia.
Police estimate the damage to the home at around $1,000.
A person close to Pippen told CBS News Miami it has been a difficult few days for her.
No injuries were reported.
Authorities say additional charges could still be filed as the investigation continues.
