LOUISVILLE AT BOSTON COLLEGE GAME THREAD- 7PM ACCN
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
Go Cards....This team got on the streak with good defense. Hope coach will get them back on track tonight!!!
Hopefully it was just a blip on the radar. What concerns me is the last 4 minutes in the WF game. It appears to have continued into the GT game. Hopefully they worked on stopping the pick and roll, although they’ve handled it in the past. GT was more aggressive and we didn’t handle it well.
In my humble opinion, people are putting too much in the end of the WF game and the GT game. They were totally different.
Against WF, the Cards simply stopped with the game plan up by 28 points. They just launched 3's and ran clock. On defense they backed off and let WF shoot. This is the only alternative with such a big lead when the bench is so thin.
Against GT, they took control early and had a 11 point lead at halftime. The end of the WF game didn't have any effect. What did have effect was inevitable and that was the winning streak. Sooner or later a team was going to punch the Cards in the gut and beat them.
We didn't think it would be Georgia Tech, but with the Yellow Jackets subsequent win over Clemson, in retrospect it's really not that awful. I watched the game again and basically it came down to that 21 to 3 run that did it. It was literally GT making every shot and UofL missing every shot, including most of its FT's.
Kelsey called two timeouts but the momentum was rolling for GT. However, with 3 minutes to go, the Cards made a run and had a chance to get within 2 points on a very difficult 3 by Smith. It didn't go in of course, but Louisville after leading by 11 at halftime, was close to stealing the win from GT.
How about that? Stealing a win even though you were up by 11 at halftime.
I think we all would like to see GT again in the ACC tournament. I like our chances.
But if the Cards lay an egg tonight against BC, everything I just wrote would be moot.
Chucky is gambling a bit much leaving wide open 3's. Looks like he's trying to make up for his last game.
Waterman will be rusty. Hope he stays down low. Scott needs to get tougher.

If you look at BC schedule in their losses they have played tough and all of them were close games with the exception of a couple.
How come there is never a big guy for UofL to rebound an offense ball down low. Everyone is playing outside
BC looking a whole lot like GT with this one on one shooting. Cards have to avoid scoring droughts or things may again get scary.
Looks like Chucky may have a groin pull going on there. He may end up getting some much needed rest. Miami is next so he may miss that game?
It doesn't look too bad. Playing so hard all those minutes has caught up.

There was 36 seconds left in the game we were up by 26 and we are diving on the floor for a loose ball gotta love it.
