I missed the game yesterday but saw in some posts that both Erika and Sam were out. Did they both get hurt? Any updates on their status?

It also looked like Asia was pretty banged up in the NC State game. Did she play the whole game yesterday?

"For two or three weeks we struggled with our confidence, and we didn’t play very well. But I noticed a different spirit about our team the last couple of weeks."

I know he said a lot more but this one got my attention.

Thoughts?

Congrats to Trinity and UofL commit David Johnson on winning the 7th Regional final over Ballard and advancing to the KY high school sweet sixteen. GOOD LUCK!!! GO CARDS!!!!

Watching some of the Houston vs Cincinnati game. Broadcasters were highlighting the Sampson family in attendance. Kelvin’s son Kellen is an assistant and his daughter is Director of External Operations “social media”.

Why do public institutions even have nepotism policies? They are routinely violated or worked around.

We’ve all discussed Nick Petrino’s employment as a P5 QB coach. Where’s he coaching these days?

Curious to see what everybody thinks now that the regular season is over.

I think most would be pleased to appear to be a lock for the NCAAs.

The team teased early in ACC play, hinting at a potential great year, but I think the front end schedule was much easier than the middle and late part of the schedule.

I was wrong, didn't see an NCAA bid so I'm pleased with the year. I honestly don't know how Mack pulled it off. He's trotting out some under-sized guards with a lot of limitations but yet here we are looking to get the name called. It's been a few years not taking it lightly!

I think they rely on the 3 and just have no depth, so I can't see a run in the NCAAs for this bunch, but they did alright to get to this point. And I've already been wrong about them so who knows?

Thoughts?

per Andy Sweeney of ESPN AM 680. This was in reference to "Vince" buying out Petrino...

"I mean, Tom [Jurich] wasn’t here. Tom would not have done what, in my estimation, Vince Tyra did..."

Lachlan MacLean: "Vince wrote a check because he knew it wasn’t getting any better..."

Open the file for Hour 2 on February 18th. The quotes start a little past the 34-minute mark in a discussion about IU facing that same issue with Archie Miller.

And before anyone snipes about these sources, these guys bend over backward to extol the virtues of "Vince" on a weekly basis. Many recall Lachlan getting torpedoed by Jurich while he was at WHAS radio, one of Jurich's brighter moments.

The analysis of two boobs as to whether "Vince" was justified doing what he did is irrelevant. Their opinion of the latest and greatest U of L AD is that Petrino was paid a king's ransom because of THAT guy...

Watched Chris Mack’s press conference and was energized by his comments.

He said the team has gotten over the hump of the tough losses of February. Said that believe it or not some teams at this point in season are just wanting the season to end, he doesn’t sense that at all with this group. He believes that his team can match up with anyone and go to war in the final 3-minutes and see if they can pull out a win.

Nice to hear this!

LSU coach Wade suspended indefinitely as a result of his recorded conversations with Christian Dawkins.

Ridiculous ! What about David Johnson and Moreno from Scott Co. who have their teams in State Tourney and have a chance to win the MVP Award ? Also, there's that Ky KY Tandy kid in Hoptown. Why couldn't they wait one more week until State Tourney is over ? The kid who won it may be the best player, but only 13 games should be a disqualifier. Anyone think if he hadn't committed to UK he would have still won it ?

Will continue tomorrow at 10:30 with UofL up 10-0 in 6th.

With the win over NC State 78-68 the Louisville Women will face Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament Championship, again. The Cardinals beat the Irish last year in the Championship game.

Asia Durr had 22 points and Fehring had a double-double in the win over the Wolfpack Saturday afternoon.

The Women’s ACC Basketball Championship will air on ESPN2 at noon on Sunday.

Lipscomb loses in the Atlantic Sun final to 2 seed Liberty. There's an outside shot at an At-Large bid to the big dance. But Lipscomb was one of those early season opponents on our schedule I thought would be there in the end.

Forget about trash cans at (UK) football games. I could never hit or make bruises on a beautiful woman like this. Login to view embedded media

Kid's going to be a stud. 22pts, 12 boards with 5 3s in the ship game. Excited for this post-season, don't get me wrong, but 19-20 is looking promising!

Do they not have the 3 second rule in the paint?
ND is camped down there.

Said LSU coach should be suspended and that LSU fans can’t condone what took place. Yet he ran to Ricky’s defense even after his second issue within the program. Just priceless considering he condoned Ricks issues.

Just survive somehow.

For three quarters tonight, it looked like Clemson was going to get sweet revenge for the thumping Louisville put on them during the regular season. For a not-so-wonderDURRful night, the worst officiating I've seen since the NFL playoffs and and an affirmation of the old saying that goes
"defense wins games", let's call double technical's on this entire board and any other board you can think of and go to:

FIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME

5) "Three shots for a dollar, step right up." I'll don my carnival barker straw hat and motion for Asia Durr to walk over to the booth. Easy money for me. The winner of the ACC Player of the Year had a night worthy of Wake Forest's fourth best reserve. Yes, 24 points, but accomplished with 11-30 shooting and 2-7 three-point skills. Yes, I get it -- sometimes players have bad nights. Let's hope this is "Nite-nite"'s last one for a very long time. And, no free throw attempts? Of course, Asia didn't get fouled all-night, Sonya. Didn't you watch the game? OK, let's go to officiating next...

4) Great pay, easy hours, no responsibilities. I got a feeling that's the "come-on" when they're trying to hire ACC WBB officials. Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and that blind guitar player in the movie "Roadhouse" could have called a better game. Clemson's Keniece Purvis should transfer here and start at running back -- she has this unique style of running over people while possessing the ball and never getting called for it. How can you call a foul on someone who has just had three people pile on them -- plus throw punches -- while trying to retain a loose ball. Hey, I want some of what they're drinking, those striped-shirted sillies. Make it a double. (No, not double technical, Carla. Dang!)

3) Thank goodness there are four quarters. For as bad as Louisville looked for 30 minutes, the final ten were the saving grace. Credit Bionca Dunham for a big effort, hand Sam Fuehring the "tough as nails" trophy and give Dana Evans the first-place medal in the 100-foot sprint. 21-7 Cards advantage in the fourth. Even Satterfield's pigskin pledges would accept a quarter like that.

2) Dadgummit, they only play two reserves! That was Clemson's head coach Amanda Butler's "mic'ed up", fire-up speech during a timeout. I'd rather win with seven (actually eight, dear Amanda) then try 11 out there and lose like you did. Congratulations on ACC Coach of the Year, Amanda. The ACC good ol' boy and girl network at work again. Enjoy and admire that trophy when you're sitting home tomorrow afternoon while Louisville is playing. With seven players, dadgummit!

1) Just survive somehow. Tonight Louisville figured out how to survive and the key factor was defense. Clemson went 3-13 from the floor in the crucial fourth quarter. Maybe they were watching Asia Durr clips? I'd sure like to see 40 minutes of that final ten minutes defense Louisville displayed tonight when they play NC State tomorrow. And a referee crew that understand the rule book and follows it. Yeah, I know...I'm asking a lot here. But, hope springs eternal.

Will be interesting to see if there are any changes Sunday when ND comes to town.

I'm not saying there are any obvious answers. It's just a matter of needing to try something different when something is no longer working.

I don't have too many suggestions or strong opinion - if it's the same 5 Sunday so be it.

Just wondering if he'll take a look at it. Maybe it's too late in the season.

It was a few years ago that I was surfing through the sports channels and I came across an interview on the SEC network. It was Mike Slive talking about how the SEC had been under performing in basketball for the last few years ( I believe they only put 3 teams in the tourney) and how that was about to change. We are going to hold all of our schools responsible to improving basketball in the coming years. We cant just be Kentucky and 13 also rans so we will improve and improve fast. He said it so matter of factly that I wondered if he was going to get coach Cal to cut them all in on the pay for players scheme so the conference could reap the financial benefits. The way he put it just sounded so unprofessional. I remember thinking good luck with that. You will never catch the Big East and Acc yet here we are with major improvements from Tenn, Lsu, Auburn, both Miss'. Now it's all coming together with Will Wade, who apparently has a big reputation for being on the shady side of recruiting. Auburn being involved in scandal with lyin Bruce. Lots of shenanigans in Mississippi over many years. I'm starting to think even the commissioners are in on this thing. And yesterday on 680am I hear Mike Pratt say he used to tell the UL fans to be careful when they would insinuate that Cal pays for players because your guy could be doing the same thing. Is there anyone connected to college basketball that doesn't know this wide spread cheating is going on and has been for many many years. I'm sure college basketball and all the overpaid elite involved will survive this but the books written in the future on this subject should be quite entertaining.

Some defense seen, bad refs again?

6 threes by VA

Fortunately the two they won were the 2nd and 4th. End up wining by 10 78-68. Showed some great toughness.

was hoping for some coverage and discussion.

This should help UofL’s strength of schedule.
