2/9/22 LOUISVILLE AT NOTRE DAME GAME THREAD- 7:00 PM ESPNU

[shadow force]

Go Cards!

 

[shadow force]

Curious to see how both Malik and team respond to him being back.

 

[achilles992000]

Notre Dame is 16-7. they are favored by 7 points tonight.
i'm only checking in on this game. seems like a tough one for us.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Some early run for Wheeler

 

[jalovell23]

5 minutes into the game and it's the same UofL basketball team. Well....what marvels movie is on tonight????

 

[earsky]

Away we go

 

[earsky]

Yes.Settling for the first look from anywhere.

ND is missing one of their best players if that tells you anything.

 

[earsky]

And giving up bunnies

 

[TheRealVille]

This match-up shows how ridiculous this season has been for Louisville. ND has basically 6 players that will contribute and none are all Americans or NBA prospects. Louisville can play 10 guys that contribute and they are the underdog. Both teams have tons of experience.

It's coaching that makes the difference.

 

[jalovell23]

The announcer just hit the head on the nail. He said if your going to come down the court and just throw up a 3pointer without working an offense ....your setting your self up for failure. And what does Williams do. Throws up an airball

 

[TheRealVille]

Well when Curry is not in the game there's no inside offense so chuckin 3's is pretty much all we got. For some unknown reason this team just cannot find its confidence to start making more shots. Imagine Locke and Cross shooting like Ellis?

 

[Thecycle27]

I have no idea what they work on in practice. What they do on offense can literally be done by 5 overweight guys who may make just as many 3’s. It is incredible how little they understand how to play.

 

[TheRealVille]

Coaching.

Malik should have been pulled after the first airball. His head is not in the game. Locke should stay on the beach. How about playing with 6 orc7 guys like ND?

Ellis
West
Davis
Withers
Curry
Cross
Wheeler

Keep the guys playing the best on the floor.

 

[nccardfan]

Traynor sighting????

That’s who played at Syracuse…

 

[TheRealVille]

It's truly remarkable how many uncontested shots we miss. I've never seen anything like it. If Ryan McMahan was on this team, he probably be shooting under 30 percent too. It's just not meant to be.

 

[earsky]

There's just no balance of scoring. You just can't beat anybody any good without it.
Two guys scoring gets you close....sometimes.

 

[earsky]

First dunk Bill's had since 67.

 

[earsky]

Crazy how much the shooting percentage goes up when you pass it 3 or 4 times in a set. Notre Dame makes you pay if you can't keep up with them offensively.

 

[TheRealVille]

What the hell is going on again with the refs? We get stripped constantly with no whistles and ND is getting 3 pt plays at will.

 

[earsky]

Get a few stops,be right in this game.

 

[earsky]

Down 4 storming back. How many times we been here this season? Time to get over the hump and win one of these games.
C'mon Cards!!!

 

[Thecycle27]

It is amazing when you play inside out how much better shots you get.

 

[earsky]

YEAH!!

 

[earsky]

C'mon take a good shot!
Groundhog Day!!😜

It’s clear to me there’s no because we still haven’t found the most consistent group that plays better together. No Sam tonight and no Cross in 2nd half.

 

[nccardfan]

4 bad shots…

 

[TheRealVille]

Did anybody truly believe when we got that one point lead we would actually continue playing smart and make open shots?

 

[Thecycle27]

They have no clue how to win.

 

[earsky]

We scratch and claw our way back into these games then can't make the plays late. Unbelievable...

 

[TheRealVille]

Frigging classic. We haven't scored since taking the lead. This team is torture.

 

[earsky]

😳😮😲

 

[TheRealVille]

Is Curry injured?

 

[earsky]

Frigging classic. We haven't scored since taking the lead. This team is torture.

Yes tell me how many times this season have we seen this game?
Groundhog Day

 

[achilles992000]

too many 3 pointers. 5 for 30. 17%.

Traynor needs to play more.

How many times have we said that about a player this year and after it happens doesn’t change much? Ellis, Curry, Wheeler, etc. I will say I don’t understand why JJ hasn’t played.
