ACC TOURNEY- LOUISVILLE VS. DUKE- GAME THREAD

[shadow force]

Thought I would go ahead and make a game thread for those able to watch the game as it is going on.

Hope the Cards are able to get their first ACC Tourney win today and man does it feel good for the Cards to be back in post season play.

GO CARDS! !

Well I wish we could hit some shots but at least they aren't either right now. Going to have to start hitting some shots. Good looks, need to convert.

Hope Mitchell gets going in the second half. We're gonna have to start hitting more outside shots when they are there.

Who are they rooting for?

 

[ThroughBlue]

Adel came to play

Don't tell @beasleythecard. Lol

I'd say sitting in a bar watching a game and rooting against their rival is fair game. It's not like they scheduled a vacation in NY to root against the Cards.

 

[HRTheCard]

Mitchell with stupid cheap fouls.

 

[KozmasAgain]

The refs are taking over the game now, some really bad fouls on Louisville and some really bad no calls on Duke.

Yep. Have ripped the game right out of our hands with phantom calls.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I would rather see McMahon in the game instead of Henderson or Levitch. McMahon is at least a threat to score.

 

[nccardfan]

Who are they rooting for?

They say neither but a lot of under breath comments about Pitinos coaching.

 

[HRTheCard]

I dont understand why we dont continue to drive the ball. Oh, let's have like 50 points in the paint and just randomly stop driving into the paint.

Mitchell is going to have to pass the ball. He isn't on today. Just like Wake Forest. Not creating for others that well today at all.

 

[rockycard]

Donovan has forced it waaaayyy too much today, you gotta know when it isn't your day.

 

[KozmasAgain]

We are going to lose this game at the foul line and there is no reason for it. We have struggled all year and we should have been working on it long before this game.

 

[HRTheCard]

Inexcusable for a point guard missing free throws.

you can't tell me he doesn't have the NBA on his mind

 

[arizan]

You have a timeout.....

 

[Morgantown Card]

Welp. So much for that.

 

[td75]

Really poor ending, don't know what else to say. You can't win making only 50% of your free throws...unreal how players can get to this level and be bad FT shooters!

 

[WhatMeWorry]

CMK whines and badgers the refs throughout the first half and in the second half it pays off with a foul fest called against the cards allowing Duke to get back into the game. But even with that, we couldn't do anything against their zone, and junior high level free throw shooting sealed the deal. A great opportunity turned into a lousy loss. I hope UNC kicks their Dookie asses tomorrow. Mitchell disappeared again and has to learn not to make stupid fouls. As for the NBA, he WILL be back next year.

 

[Morgantown Card]

I think we are looking at a 4 seed.

 

[Morgantown Card]

We have seen this before. Look absolutely dominant, get a nice lead, and then go away from what works and lose it at the end.

 

[HRTheCard]

It doesn't matter what seed we are anymore. This season is over. Nothing today proved me otherwise. Sweet Sixteen at best if Mitchell doesn't show up. Even if he does, we have to play defense.

Down the stretch in the last 5 minutes, absolutely terrible defense. I finally commend with Pitino that this team is terrible defensively.

They are also Basketball IQ stupid. I dont understand why we shot 21 3pt attempts when had 50 points in the paint.

We settled late and that cost us the game. Drive the ball and we win. The free throws hurt us but those would not have matter if we actually played a lick of defense in the last 5 minutes and/or a lick of our offensive-style.

We are not that good. We get up 12 and blow the lead. Should've pulled away then. Stupid mistakes let Duke back in it.

I will not be surprised if we lose in the 2nd round or we exit at the Sweet Sixteen.

I will also not be surprised if we make it to the Elite Eight and/or Final Four. We have the talent, and the mindset could get us there.

hope we have a better coached team next season.

Mitchell had a horrible game, we missed a ton of free throws, and lost to a 5 star academy by 4 points. You can throw in the towel, not this guy.

Sunshine pumper > whatever the F you and Beasley are.

You sunshine pumper you

my fight is not with you rocky, my disgust is with the entire team.

we have a championship team and are not even desiring to rech that potential.

glad you are happy about it. I surely am not and believe it has been a wasted season.
