Some Top NIL Programs Struggling

It isn’t Ballo fault, he is a really good player. It is how they constructed the team. College basketball is a perimeter game. What is the value of a back to the basket big man in today’s game? This is where coaches have to spend wisely. IU problem is they have average perimeter players.

The other factor is this isn’t the 80’s. The majority of shots aren’t close in or mid range. Rebounds are no longer right around the rim. The offensive systems are pulling the bigs out of paint. They don’t live in the paint. Therefore 7 ft guy is less effective. Now the Wolfe kid is a kind of big you want. You can run the offense through him if you need to. He can pass, shoot and play inside. He can adequately defend.

I would never pay 2M for a big that can’t do all three well. It limits what you can do in all the other positions. Budgets aren’t unlimited. The players compile good stats but the team is just OK.

Cards Back In the Top 25

Yes it's nice, but we need to move on from comparing the past two seasons to what this team is. For me it was in the Battle for Atlantis that I knew this was a whole new deal for Louisville basketball.

But at the same time, Louisville is still a elite level program and it should be treated like one by the so called basketball experts. As I've said over and over, what exactly is it keeping the Cards out of these voters top 25? The five losses?

This six game winning streak is current and it shows multiple Quad 1 and 2 wins, most by double digits. How long does it take for the voters to notice? Apparently they only now do but they're not convinced so they omit Louisville from the top 25.

That's BS no matter how you slice it.
Just like during the Syracuse game the announcer stated that Lee (I believe) scored 30 last year against us. My Son immediately yelled Bullsh@t at the screen and said that was a whole different team with a whole different attitude. He then yelled do that sh@t again against the REVIVILLE!
