Hadley just saved us with a steal and R. Smith seals it at the foul line.
LOUISVILLE AT VIRGINIA TECH GAME THREAD- 9PM ACCN
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
14 game win improvement over last year. Which is two more than the sloth had in his career. Go Cards.
Not a fun game to watch but I'll take the win!
This was a really good refereeing crew the best we have had all year. The announcers were also good I enjoyed everything about the game including the win under pressure.
What a dynamite call by PK to put James Scott on the shooter which through VT all outta sorts the last 2 possessions! Great call coach! GO CARDS!!!
Weird game,Happy we won the game but mad at how we played. We played very nonchalantly to me 🤷🏽♂️
I'm hoping most of that was because they're recovering from illness but....some very uncharacteristic stuff from a lot of guys.
These guys haven't played well when ranked. Need to shake that off.
This game had nothing to do with playing tight because of the ranking, or the attitude of not respecting its opponent. There's a reason why the Cards best stretch of the game was the beginning that had them up 20 to 6.
That's when they were at their freshest. But it didn't take long before they took a step back and they were a shadow of themselves the rest of the way.
When you've been sick for several days, your metabolism is not where it usually is once you feel better and get back to work. You feel good enough to work (play), but you're not at your most proficient self. You get through the day (game) feeling beat and then relieved.
Louisville once again proved its mettle and won despite not being 100 percent. This team continues to amaze.
Hopefully everyone has their second wind come Saturday.

Just commented about UGA upsetting Florida in another thread; this UL staff and team demonstrated the mark of a mature, well-coached team by overcoming an uncharacteristic bad performance, and winning on the road in a hostile environment.
Very proud of this UL Team. CPK and the kids will not use the recent illness as an excuse, but those close to our program knew going in to Blacksburg that several players were struggling with their legs. Anyone who was bit by this recent epedemic, will attest to losing energy after the illness is over.

No, that was GT being hot during a 21 to 3 stretch while the Cards were in a scoring drought. This Louisville team is not impervious to getting upset, especially on the road. That is their only loss in their past 17 games.
They were due and GT was more than capable of winning as they proved their next game at Clemson. VT is not as good as GT and they proved that last night, not able to beat an obvious fatigued Louisville team.
The performance isn't that hard to explain. WHen I had the flu, it took everything I had to get off the couch and take a leak. I couldn't imagine trying to perform at an elite level in a college basketball game. After I was no longer ill, my endurance and energy took about a week to come back. Granted I'm not a 20-something, Div-1 college basketball player, but still the point remains.
My understanding is some were sick Saturday, some sick last night. All would be tired. I would take this as a good thing that the flu has run through this team in February instead of mid-March. They're immune and ready to move forward.

Man what a monotone announcer. I expected that from Boeheim but that dude was dry as toast.
