LOUISVILLE AT SMU GAME THREAD- 9PM ACCN

[shadow force]

Go Cards!

 

[TheRealVille]

Watched much of SMU's loss to UNC. They don't play the kind of defense we saw against Tennessee and Ole Miss. They do however can shoot the rock.

For the Cards to win this one, they're going to have to shoot a better percentage than they average. They need to make their FT's and not give SMU extra possessions with turnovers.

I think it's very similar to the Pittsburgh game on the road. Crunch time execution wins the game.

[KozmasAgain]

Some have us favored to win by 2 and some have us losing by 2.

 

[UofLouisville]

Go Cards! This is a big game on the road. SMU is going to see live defense tonight

 

[KozmasAgain]

Off to a good start but you can tell this game is going to be a barn burner.

 

[UofLouisville]

Ball movement is fantastic

 

[UofLouisville]

WTF is the ref at half court calling a foul under the basket for?

 

[CardsFirst]

WTF is the ref at half court calling a foul under the basket for?

You talking about the phantom foul?

 

[CardsFirst]

They’re tough defenders inside. Slapping everything.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Should have been a technical foul

 

[UofLouisville]

You talking about the phantom foul?

Yes that one. Ref under the basket didn't see it because it wasn't there.

 

[KozmasAgain]

SMU is starting to get chippy

 

[earsky]

SMU is starting to get chippy

Yes they are. Cards came to play tonight...like most in the last month.
We are a relentless lot 🫡

 

[UofLouisville]

Smith is definitely coming into his own

 

[Realville502]

The cards is putting on a clinic this half. Hopefully we can do it for 40 minutes

 

[earsky]

If Edwards could've hit anything, Chucky might already have 10 assists and we might already be over 50

 

[UofLouisville]

Edward's has barely hit the front of the rim on his 3's for awhile now

 

[earsky]

Edward's has barely hit the front of the rim on his 3's for awhile now

He's definitely laying down some bricks tonight

 

[earsky]

Those 3s by 🌧 ain't hitting anything but the bottom of the net

 

[KozmasAgain]

I hate we had to go to half time I hope we come out just as hot.

 

[TheRealVille]

This game is all about coaching preparation and player execution. This team as a group is more dialed in than any team in the last 25 years. The 2013 Champs for sure, but this was the kind of unity and preparation Pitino strived for here at Louisville.

It's not easy and kinda of rare to have a set of players totally attentive to what is required in each and every game, and then go out an execute it.

I saw a video on YouTube where some dude in an interview talking about Louisville's resurgence, said what he's seeing with Louisville is what we all saw with Uconn the past two seasons.

Pretty impressive for a team not ranked in the coaches poll.

 

[KozmasAgain]

SMU’s big man is setting moving picks all over the place.

 

[UofLouisville]

Smith is flat out on fire

 

[KozmasAgain]

They are shadowing him on defense and he is still knocking them down from every where.

 

[earsky]

🌧 🌦 🌂

 

[Rollem Cards]

As Luke Combs says

When It Rains it Pours

 

[earsky]

Chucky started it and Reyne putting on one of the better shooting nights of the year.

 

[Bardman]

Someone please tell Edwards the 3-pt shot is not his best shot. He is so much better slashing and attacking the rim.

 

[KozmasAgain]

PK didn’t ask for the review the SMU coach asked for it

 

[UofLouisville]

Man, if Rooths can step up his d a bit and give 10 pts and 5 boards this team is gonna be tough despite what we lost due to injuries

 

[KozmasAgain]

Need to cover Cross he is getting hot

 

[real2it]

I would love to see what Edwards averages on the+\- stat. Man he probably leads the team n TO.

 

[UofLouisville]

Edward's for 3! Yah!

 

[KozmasAgain]

How many 3’s have we made tonight?

 

[UofLouisville]

Scott with a 3? Maybe he should move back 10 feet to take his ft's

 

[earsky]

Who's record is Smith going after?

Is it Taquan Dean?

 

[Realville502]

I didn’t know Scott could step out and hit the 3. Louisville looks very dangerous

 

[earsky]

How many 3’s have we made tonight?

17 or 18

 

[UofLouisville]

Scott with a 3? Maybe he should move back 10 feet to take his ft's

18 of 36 so far. Wowza
