LOUISVILLE AT GTECH GAME THREAD- 3:45PM THE CW

Some really odd calls. Just throw yourself into the defender and you’ll get the call.
 
Good finish to end the half up by 10. The announcers are saying that GT has been able to get back in the game because they are playing more physical than Louisville. Somebody needs to tell the refs that.
 
Got stuck on 31 for awhile. Sometimes they pass up the open shot and end up taking a bad one or turning it over. Keep fine tuning and get Rain Man the ball when those droughts come. That's what gets you beat in March.
 
Is this going to be a “wake up” game?

Things have been coming pretty easy for a while.

I hope they get it together quickly.
 
This is when settling for threes can burn you. They need to move, pass the ball and get looks in the paint.
 
We have the flu or something going around our locker room? sheesh… settle in and get stops and easy buckets/trips to the stripe fellas
 
I’m at the game. Over half the crowd is Louisville. Huge turnout. And we put up this pathetic performance. Unreal
 
Live by the 3 die bythe 3....and missing kills you every time.

Also, does Chucky ever sweat? He was a ghost in the 2nd half and Smith was totally taken away from the offense. Credit GT they earned that win. Cards worked their way to the L. Wake up call and bck to the drawing board time. We will see what adjustments CPK makes after this one. Winnning streaks are made to be broken. and darn it, Atlanta is the place it seems to happen. :oops: :p;)

This was one of those meant to be defeats that all favored teams have experienced on the road. This new Louisville team is not immune to the momentum monster that creates these kind of upsets.

In that second half, GT looked like the Louisville team that had won 10 straight games. It looked like Reyne Smith was playing for GT. During that 21 to 3 run, GT looked like the Cards.

Louisville looked stunned and I saw the doubt that we haven't seen since December. They simply couldn't will their shots to go in this time.

GT were faster, quicker and more attentive than Louisville. They wanted it very bad and when the Cards didn't respond, it was like a feeding frenzy. Even when Kelsey adjusted to posting up and getting fouled, we missed all those free throws.

I think the guys realized that they would likely lose and there was nothing they could do to stop it. They lost focus and their attention to details was replaced with thoughts on how they couldn't believe this was happening.

I knew we weren't going to win out but was hoping the loss wouldn't be to a losing team. No telling how far Louisville will fall in the polls, both human and computer. This can be a good thing if they respond with another winning streak. They now have experienced how one half of lost focus can get you beaten by any team.

Always learning and adjusting.

When they start to dribble/back guys down as their main offense,you know it's one of those games. No sets,no scissor passing,no screening,just guys doing their own thing. Not really sure why they weren't staying with the script.
