(16) LOUISVILLE VS. NC STATE- GAME THREAD

[shadow force]

As I said in the other thread, I expect NC State to come out swinging, giving the Cards their best shot. State is having a "black out" event for this game so you know the crowd will be fired up. Hopefully the Cards weather the storm and come away with the win.

 

[Louisvillian]

Agree. Should be an intense atmosphere and like just about every other ACC game this year it will likely go down to the wire.

Go Cards

 

[arizan]

Getting killed by offensive rebounds early.

 

[kozmas]

It's early and we have a lead but we are getting out hustled and out rebounded.

 

[Louisvillian]

Place is empty. Wow.

 

[shadow force]

Nice foul line jumper from Spalding.

But he just lost it out of bounds.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Rebounds killing us

 

[cuzimacardfan]

I think they wear down though

 

[kozmas]

Louisville building a good lead up by 12, we are still getting out rebounded. Hard to believe you can have that much of a lead but you're getting out rebounded.

 

[Majestic Red]

I'm getting confused by these reverse jersey colors.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

It's a black out

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Damion Lee getting fouled on all hit cuts. So much for freedom of movement.

 

[Majestic Red]

Damion Lee getting fouled on all hit cuts. So much for freedom of movement.

I know; it still getting me whacked out.

 

[Majestic Red]

I'll take the 5-point lead, given that this offense got cold in the final minutes.

 

[kozmas]

Halftime and we have a 5 point lead, it sure got ugly to end the 1st half.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

We should have been at the line more. Foul trouble helped them come back.

Lee and Lewis will be fresh in the 2nd half.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Snider bumped more than Rowan was. No call on his three attempts. Nanu hit in the face. No call.

They are getting every ticky tack call and we are not.

 

[kozmas]

I agree, it is hard to believe as physical as NC St. Is playing on the inside there is not more fouls called.

 

[TheRealVille]

There is just no way to sustain a lead when you're called for a foul every minute. That foul on Lewis was total BS. I just don't get why refs feel they have to help the home team out. They will let all kinds of stuff go and then call a phantom foul on a 3pt shot.

 

[Louisvillian]

Not one of our best efforts so far.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Finally got a call for Lee being held on a cut. It's been happening the whole game.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

No carry by Martin right there?! Wow

 

[kozmas]

UL now has 4 starters with 3 fouls.

 

[kozmas]

I think that was the 4th foul on Lee.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Continuation foul lol.

So much bailout

 

[cuzimacardfan]

I think that was the 4th foul on Lee.

i think it's 3

I really hope I am right.

 

[kozmas]

Snider and Spalding are having great games.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

When they stay off the FT line for a stretch our lead gets up to double digits. When they go to the line in shrinks.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Snider and Spalding are having great games.

yep. Nanu too

 

[cuzimacardfan]

They are in the bonus. 8:32 left. They ended the first half in the double bonus. We haven't been in the bonus yet in either half.


Took them long enough to blow that whistle when Q was fouled just now.

 

[cardsfan53]

When they stay off the FT line for a stretch our lead gets up to double digits. When they go to the line in shrinks.

100% correct. They offense is basically offensive rebounds and getting to the line. They have to much talent to have the record they have.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Why don't they throw the ball to Anya when he is being guarded by Lee? Lol. They don't even look for him and that mismatch has happened a lot.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

I'll take the foul. I thought that was ticky tack but at least one went our way.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Lol. Cmon Jaylen

 

[kozmas]

This game is getting rough they are letting NC St committ 3 fouls before they call one.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Q is the player of the game.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

What? They aren't bringing pressure on defense when they are down this late? Lol. Cmon Gottfried. If you let us spread the floor and milk clock it's over. You gotta extend the D bud.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Another continuation foul haha

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Gotta make FTs to win

 

[Steelers2012]

Barring an extreme catastrophe to finish this game, 2 ACC road wins is a great start to the conference season.
