If you claim to hear of the
Schimmel sisters, you are either one of two things: related to them by blood,
or a die-hard Louisville Cardinal fan. The Schimmel sisters are big topics in
the media recently as their Louisville Cardinals have made headlines recently
for upsetting #1 overall seed Baylor Bears in the Women’s Basketball NCAA
Tournament. How does one defeat
Baylor, spear headed by 6’8 Brittney Griner? Well for starters, you have to
literally shoot lights out during the game, which the Cardinal were able to do,
shooting 64% from long distance throughout the game, and collapsing on Griner
defensively. Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey wasn’t pleased with the officials
throughout the contest, even at one point turning the side line into an
aggressive fashion show, as she reacted to a call that she did not agree with.
Regardless, Shoni and Jude Schimmel are the talk of Women’s Basketball right
now, as they did what was considered unbeatable this season: defeat the defending
National Champions Baylor Bears. The highlight of the game to us;however, was a
sweet behind the back move by Shoni Schimmel in which she got fouled, and then
stood up to Brittney Griners waist and tried to stare her down. 2 more points
to Shoni Schimmel.
