LOUISVILLE AT FLORIDA STATE GAME THREAD- 1PM ACC NETWORK

[shadow force]

At this point you have to just roll with Fabio at PG. Sure he makes frosh mistakes but he also is the only one with a PG game.

Cards have no offensive sets

Seems to be a reoccurring theme

 

[KerryRhodes]

I think my 1979 middle school basketball team at River Valley in Jeffersonville understood fundamentals better than this team.

Parkview middle > River Valley 😎

 

[KerryRhodes]

Cards down 12 at the half

You jinxed it. Now down 18. 🙄

 

[LouisvilleKid79]

Leonard Hamilton hasn’t smiled like that all year.

 

[UL_1986]

Basili is so much better at PG than Ellis. It doesn’t matter though. This team isn’t winning a game this year. Payne is in over his head.

 

[cardinalrod]

Did Brandon Huntley-Hatfield just put in a basket for FSU.

 

[cardinalrod]

FSU looks like a final four team. lol

 

[Tenncard]

I know that Josh now has the “Brohm Buffer” going on, but he needs to comment about this mess. What’s the plan?

 

[UL_1986]

Payne needs to go after this year.

 

[Knucklehank1]

Payne can talk about healing and real fans and whatnot. He really needs to either coach these kids or admit that he cannot coach and go do something that he is competent doing.

 

[cardinalrod]

The fans don't get it

 

[Tenncard]

The fans don't get it

Except of course for the true fans.

 

[UL_1986]

Lol we start pressing down 21 with 3 mins left to go. I’m done. 😂😭

 

[Thecycle27]

Folks blame Payne that is what he gets paid millions for. The reality this is the worst collection of players I have ever seen at this level.

They are god awful on offense and even worse of defense.

 

[Tenncard]

We could still come back; Zan is in.

 

[LouisvilleKid79]

First question to KP - You just lost to 1-9 FSU by 22 points. Is this rock bottom?

 

[CommodoreCard]

Parkview middle > River Valley 😎

New Albany or Jeff High could beat this team by 10+

 

[Thecycle27]

This year is rock bottom. I don’t see anyway this collection of players will get better. They lack basketball skill.

 

[achilles992000]

next week is our only chance for a win against FAMU.

 

[LouisvilleKid79]

next week is our only chance for a win against FAMU.

Yes, it’s their only legit chance for a win. No other wins on the schedule.

At this point it makes you start to think about different things. Has this team giving up, since they are lost within the transition of coahes and assistant coaches? Is the talent really that different from this UofL team to other teams..... Its not like this UofL team is a bunch of 2 stars and freshman. Most of this guys are 4 star recruits out of HS a couple years ago. Is Kenny Payne really a COACH at all. is he better as an assistant coach or does he just need some time.

This!! People keep blaming the kids, but like you said, many are four stars. People say the team has too many bigs. OK, but shouldn’t we at least be good at rebounding and defense around the basket? Truth is, the only thing this team can do well is make turnovers. This is poor….no, make that horrible coaching at its worst. KP had a full week to prepare a game plan for a stinking 1-9 team and yet we still lose by 23!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!
I don’t know if California has won a game yet or not but we are basically…officially the worst team of any power conference team in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! Enough is enough. He has to go now. And, not go with a full buyout. He needs to be offered a reasonable amount to submit his resignation. Let him save face however he can but he needs to go. He is causing this program at least as much damage, if not more, than any NCAA penalty they could have imposed. Done with it!!!
