ACC/SEC CHALLENGE: LOUISVILLE VS OLE MISS GAME THREAD

Not looking so good. I'm afraid we're just not capable of getting where we want this season. We started four guards in this game.

The loss of Pryor was the worst thing that could of happened, except Chucky if he was injured.

I can't believe the odds makers had the Cards favored. They didn't learn their lesson.
 
Wide open looks can’t hit. When your offensive system is built around the 3 and you shoot 28 percent good luck.
 
Hard to believe less than a week ago we were running Indiana out of the building. Everything changed when Pryor went down. Any momentum we had was taken away in just two days.

Tonight, it's evident that this group now will most likely only beat mediocre teams and won't have much of a chance against very good teams.
 
Now we have two tall and athletic players in Scott and Rooths, but neither are offensive weapons. Kelsey has to figure out how to get them in position to score inside. Rooths shooting the 3 is not good.

The reason Smith is taking and missing so many 3's tonight is he knows there's not many other offensive options and his team is losing. He shoots much better when he's not in desperation mode.

Any opponent who puts defensive pressure on the Cards is going to be successful.
 
Johnson-Pryor being out is just a killer.

It forces Edwards into ball handling and guarding small guards neither is ideal. Pryor was so good on ball screens and no one else comes close.

They play extremely hard but they are out matched.

Definitely disappointed in Edwards and Hadley so far. Edwards just doesn't appear to be able to score consistently at this level.

Totally. They're just so damn limited with three players out. Kelsey has a decision to make. To continue with the green light on 3 point shooting, or slowing down the offense and using their hustle and hard nosed defense to win games in the 60's.

When the best 3 point shooter is a guy who misses a lot of bad attempts, I think he should make the adjustment from how he usually runs his offense.
 
Kelsy's insistence to play man to man without trying to mix it up somewhat leaves for too many match-up problems. If they're not shooting a much better percentage,it's an uphill battle all night because we can't stop these guys blowing by.
 
Hard to imagine them winning more than 12-14 games. Against the really good teams especially with good guards they will get torched.
 
Really troubling loss. All the good will from Bahamas was erased. Getting blown out twice at home is quite deflating. Chris Beard coached circles around Kelsey.
