[shadow force]

Go Cards!

 

[KozmasAgain]

Go Cards let’s keep things rolling.

[KozmasAgain]

I have Direct TV what station is ACC Network Extra?

 

[UofLouisville]

I would really like to know why networks still schedule 2 hours for games when it seems none end in that time or less. A 40 minute game and an hour and a half of filler. Go Cards!

 

[Deeva]

Let’s Go Cards!

 

[Bardman]

How quickly this team lost its focus bad passing and one-on-one play. Then, you leave shooters open. Come’on - WAKE UP!!

 

[CardsDan]

I wish PK would call a timeout when there are a rash of senseless TO's like this.

 

[Cardiac Red]

I wish PK would call a timeout when there are a rash of senseless TO's like this.

YES !!

 

[KozmasAgain]

An ugly game so far.

 

[shadow force]

An ugly game so far.

Very ugly

 

[TheRealVille]

Kelsey likes to hold onto his timeouts for those out of bounds plays we're so good at.

Cards have let up a bit after that fast start, telling me the team may be more mentally fatigued than physical. Carelessness with the ball and missed open 3's since the early lead.

VT has some confidence because of those 3's.

 

[TheRealVille]

Is that JJ Reddick playing for VT?

Some dude who was 4 out of his last thousand making 3's suddenly looks like the former Duke sharpshooter.

That's the BS that GT had when they beat the Cards. Louisville needs to stay out of offensive droughts.

Big Chucky 3

It would be a nightmare if this is another game like Ga Tech.

 

[TheRealVille]

It would be a nightmare if this is another game like Ga Tech.

It would be a much worse nightmare because GT is one of the better mid-level ACC teams while VT is one of the worst.

I think the Cards will be alright unless they miss a bunch of FT's and turn the ball over like they did at GT.

I wonder if Smith is 100 percent as his misses have been short.

If the Cards have a nice run and get the lead back up to 16 or so, I think VT will wilt and those long 3's won't be going in.

James Scott has to get better at the FT line. He's a liability in close games down the stretch.

 

[shadow force]

Allowing VT to stay so close is dangerous

 

[KozmasAgain]

CPK said before the game that the flu still lingers on the team most of it is players on the bench. He did say that R. Smith was still experiencing some of the effects of the flu though.

 

[earsky]

Make every possession count and it's a runaway.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Now this is a good refereeing crew and they just warned CPK about having 1 foot on the court. It made me think about Leonard Hamilton walking on the court during play when the ball was at his end of the court and the refs did nothing.

 

[TheRealVille]

Cards are definitely not themselves tonight. They're working hard but they're a step behind both physically and mentally. VT is taking advantage and gaining more confidence.

Hepburn has to be the guy to hold onto this win. He however looks a tad off himself.

 

[KozmasAgain]

This is starting to get uncomfortable.

 

[Bardman]

Stop the shooting the three and attack the rim. Cards have been successful doing that! I also thought the team could be suffering from some illness. They look a bit fatigued IMO.

 

[TheRealVille]

That was a great play out of the timeout but Smith missed again. He's short on his shots tonight.

This is college basketball though. Iowa State lost to Oklahoma State tonight on the road.

I think if the Cards weren't so fatigued, they would be up 15 right now.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Everything is going Tech’s way they are throwing it up and it is going in.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Number 3 Florida lost to unranked Georgia I hope we are not one of the upsets.

 

[Bardman]

Reyne can’t hit water falling out of a boat in the middle of lake.

 

[shadow force]

Very frustrating game to watch

 

[TheRealVille]

This really sucks. It's going to take some very good luck to win this one. We don't have one player standing out, they're all under performing.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Sometimes when you play a team like Tech you look at their record and think easy game and you have a let down.

 

[KozmasAgain]

These Tech fans are a little obnoxious you can hear them yelling at the refs. What’s the deal with the student section putting their fingers to their mouth and acting like they’re performing oral sex.

 

[TheRealVille]

It's amazing how there's these games where some dude plays way above his head making almost everything he shoots. Why now? Why this opponent?

I know Louisville has seen its share of this phenomenon.

 

[Bardman]

A shot ton of one-on-one basketball. We saw enough of that garbage last year. Not passing and not moving. Defensively, not moving.

 

[KozmasAgain]

It looks like the Tech coach has been playing the wrong players all year.

 

[earsky]

A shot ton of one-on-one basketball. We saw enough of that garbage last year. Not passing and not moving. Defensively, not moving.

I think we've lost our way a bit in the half court offense.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Just don’t let them have a 3 or foul on the 2.

 

[Bardman]

WTF Chucky. Why are trying to do too much. Just dribble the damn ball. O need to attempt multiple spin moves, etc. keep it simple and VT will foul. Not very smart.

 

[Realville502]

Is chucky sick or something because he seems a little off today?

 

[TheRealVille]

What the hell was that Chucky? He's definitely off tonight. He plays so hard but sometimes the body just can't keep up with the mind.
