Someone that can translate legal talk for normal folks please help me understand this and what it means for our big 3
Not much at this point. The usual course of litigation is trial court > appeals court > supreme court. The NCAA has already appealed the decision to the appeals court; now, it has asked the supreme court to skip the appeals court step and take it up directly. If granted, it would theoretically bring a conclusion to this case more quickly. But (1) the court hasn’t granted that motion yet and (2) there would still need to be briefing at the supreme court level, so there’s a good chance this isn’t resolved before the end of the season.

#16 UL is coming off a pretty bad 1-0 loss to UC Davis (3-6, entered the game with an rpi of 60)
Louisville has been pesky when we’ve played them lately.

We’re certainly much better on paper, but we definitely need to be focused and hungry.

I believe the fact that our players know we basically need to win out helps them keep focus.

Just one man's opinion, but I love this take on UNC's eligibility fight and how Coach Matson handled it all (skip to part 2)

At Trager Stadium, things that make you go "ah."

Offense:
"North Carolina's first score was a testament to an unselfish style; four players touched the ball that Megan DuVernois tipped in 21 minutes into the first half. Freshman Erin Matson added another 10 minutes later...."

Defense:
"Defender Hoffman manned an aggressive attack that clogged the circle for the Terps, and anything that eked through, goalie Amanda Hendry was there to save. She saved five."

Video Highlights:

I do not know who the UNC vs UL game announcers will be.

Since it is being streamed on ACCNX, hopefully the team will not include former
Cardinal FH player and UL grad Suzanne Bush.

Is there a way to express confidence in a desired outcome without appearing to jinx one's team? :)
Good question. I do not know but what I will say is what EM said the other day. Our girls will have to take it one game at a time. We must play up to our standard, have fun while we are playing, follow and trust the game plan, and leave it all out on the field. I think these words by EM should accomplish what you are trying to say without jinxing them. Go Heels!

Merritt must be feeling forgotten. Nearly entire quarter was played in Louisville's half.
I do not think Merritt minds. That indicates that our team defense is outstanding. This is what EM, staff, and us fans want. Remember UNC80 when we lost those four games, fans were complaining about the defense and lack of offense. You cannot have it both ways. Just sit back and enjoy that we have our three graduate students being able to play. We do not know what can happened with these court cases. Just enjoy the moment. I am so glad that we won again on the road. Go Heels!

Excellent win.

Think we possessed for maybe 80% of the game.

Need to clean up PCs.
I don't think so. Their goal keeper is very good as noted in the pregame. She stopped a lot of the PC's by herself. Sometimes when you play another good team and EM did say that Louisville was a very good team, you have to find other ways to win and that is exactly what we did.

That’s correct, but at the same time, there’s always room for improvement.

We did a good job drawing corners with 11, however.

Obviously, we just need to keep winning! Sure looks like a different team out there with that talent & experience returning.
I agree we just need to focus on winning. Then we can let the chips fall as they may. Great win on the road. Go Heels!
