12/10/21 LOUISVILLE VS DEPAUL GAME THREAD - 8:00PM ACC NETWORK

Malik Williams and the big man for DePaul are both limping. Malik took a fall earlier and the DePaul big looked like he turned an ankle. I agree with you I know nothing about DePaul

We get the lead by going inside and DePaul behind by jacking up outside shots. DePaul cuts the lead by going inside and Louisville jacking up outside shots

Anemic offense

It hurts having no bigs that can score in the low post when 3s aren't falling
 
What's a Louisville hoops game without a Louisville drought? I simply don't understand the game of college basketball anymore. The shots we take must drive Denny Crum crazy?

It's like offensively we just hope to get lucky so shoot it what the hell.
 
We keep playing like this we are going to lose. All we are doing is jacking up 3 pointers no inside game.
 
Where's Ryan McMahon when we need him? I will never believe ever again any Louisville recruit or transfer is a good 3 point shooter.

I have never seen a group of players who all think they're good 3 point shooters when they're not.

This team is a enigma for sure.
 
Williams bought us back with some great plays and great body control on those fast break points. Dre Davis and Matt Cross have that pass and 3 pointer from the corner down pat.

What is up with some of our players? First it was Sam, now its Withers. They're playing like HS players. And tonight, Els suddenly can't dribble the damn ball.

I think Mack needs to explain why he isn't playing Traynor when two of his forwards are struggling badly. I don't think there's one fan on this board that foresaw Traynor not playing. There has to be something going on there. It makes no sense.
 
No post game and can't get the ball into the paint. Playing decent D can't break down D needs to win games when offense sucks. Half the guys just look lost on offense. Real lucky they aren't down 5-10 points.

Withers? Williamson? El? Man they are scuffling. Shake it off you been playing this game your entire life you are better than this!

I see the same pattern in the 2nd half as we did in the 1st half. We get a 9 point lead with an inside out game and then we just go for 3 pointers and the lead dwindles. At least Mack called a timeout earlier and I hope that stops the bleeding.

Look guys, shooting the 3 was always the plan this season. That's why Mack got Cross and Locke. There's no post game, except Dre Davis.

Malik does not post and Wheeler and Curry in my opinion are not getting the minutes to see if one of them can get post looks.

Mack changed the offense to shoot quickly and that will lead to 3 pointers. He like us is just as mystified at the poor shooting.

Withers poor play is definitely affected by this. He doesn't have the skills to be a stretch 4 which is what is being asked of him. He should be doing his damage inside where he was much more effective.

Our guys are just not smart basketball players. It's hard to believe the majority of the roster is like this. It's like they have no sense of score and time and momentum.

I know Purdue lost last night but that's a team with a above average hoops IQ. Louisville just looks like a bunch of guys playing streetball. No discipline.
