Just read a Si article that quoted CPK, he said the trainers said he could return. It sounds as if CPK took the conservative route and kept him benched.

In my humble opinion, people are putting too much in the end of the WF game and the GT game. They were totally different.

Against WF, the Cards simply stopped with the game plan up by 28 points. They just launched 3's and ran clock. On defense they backed off and let WF shoot. This is the only alternative with such a big lead when the bench is so thin.

Against GT, they took control early and had a 11 point lead at halftime. The end of the WF game didn't have any effect. What did have effect was inevitable and that was the winning streak. Sooner or later a team was going to punch the Cards in the gut and beat them.

We didn't think it would be Georgia Tech, but with the Yellow Jackets subsequent win over Clemson, in retrospect it's really not that awful. I watched the game again and basically it came down to that 21 to 3 run that did it. It was literally GT making every shot and UofL missing every shot, including most of its FT's.

Kelsey called two timeouts but the momentum was rolling for GT. However, with 3 minutes to go, the Cards made a run and had a chance to get within 2 points on a very difficult 3 by Smith. It didn't go in of course, but Louisville after leading by 11 at halftime, was close to stealing the win from GT.

How about that? Stealing a win even though you were up by 11 at halftime.

I think we all would like to see GT again in the ACC tournament. I like our chances.

But if the Cards lay an egg tonight against BC, everything I just wrote would be moot.

Coaching change automagically opens a 5-day portal window … but with all UofL students three weeks into the spring semester already, I wouldn’t expect any defections until that May portal window.
