I still can't fucking believe
we’re playing this game now.
Get bent, ESPN.
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
Dude...
How dare you question ESPN’s money gra…. errr… efforts to honor Dr. King.
We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.

Don't forget to tell the NBA to get bent.
Restoring carousel. Come help.

Very curious to see the crowd
No precedent for a game like this. I have the feeling it might be a bit subdued. Hopefully the boys give em something to cheer about.

KenPom might need a new classification for games for this one:
Neither home, nor away, nor neutral, nor semi-home or semi-road: Played on a Fucking Monday Afternoon.

I was really impressed with the crowd.
And there didn’t seem to be nearly as many Louisville fans as usual.

Apparently Louisville watches film
They open up in zone.

Peyton Siva gets all the jumpers he wants
Don’t let him penetrate.

This is enough to make a guy quit following the team.
Wait, what?
Oh. Already did that?
Welp.

Then we make a run like this
And it sucks you right back in!

transition offense?
Has it progressively worsened the last few games? Bad decisions, quick 3’s, turnovers.
We want to play fast on offense
I guess we have to be willing to take those things as a side effect and hope we get enough easy baskets to offset em.

This
Was a damn fine 30 minutes of basketball. It looks like we might’ve finally figured out how to win without Otule.
Now I know that Louisville is an injury ravaged outfit right now, but this could’ve gone totally different.
Now all we gotta do is quit spotting people 14 point leads.

Hell. Yes.
Damn that felt good. Our guys played a pretty complete game!
Gotta love The Big Nicknames reaction after the last couple fouls he schemed in, his expression just said “Wow, did they really just do that, AGAIN?”. What an awesome performance again.
I dont care that he got a technical, I dug the “its over” signal from Crowder after he hit that three, my entire row went nuts.
