Site: Anchorage, AKRecords: U of L: 0-2, Georgia: 0-2
The Cards approach tonight's match-up with the Georgia Bulldogs with an almost unsettling sense of desperation. Already 0-2, the Cards need a win to stop an ugly three-game slide dating back to last season. U of L had hoped for a shot against No. 11 Kansas, but now they may be thankful they won't play the talented Jayhawks. Georgia gave Kansas a good run, losing by only ten in a hard-fought game.
The Cards have shown promise--it is quite clear there is talent. But the team is still searching for a 40-minute performance. Until that happens, every game could be an adventure.
