Louisville's Elizabeth Balogun carving her own path with Cardinals
Ever the basketball impresario on the banks of the Ohio River, Louisville coach Jeff Walz keeps reassuring fans that, yes, the Cardinals will still win games this season. Those victories might not look as pretty as in the past. Not without Asia Durr. Not with one starter remaining from a Final Four appearance barely 18 months ago. But life goes on. "People don't understand, it's like I breathe basketball -- I can't do without it," said Balogun, who is averaging 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds for the Cardinals (5-0). "The whole situation made me embrace it -- if [her mom] could fight through that? I'm on the court, and I'm just tired? I need to push myself. That made me love basketball even more."
