LOUISVILLE VS #12 TENNESSEE GAME THREAD- NOON ACCN
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
Tennessee was up for that game Saturday and jumped on us from the get go. I think had we gotten off to the start they did and got the crowd energized the game would've went different. I think our crowd intimidated our guys more than it did Tennessee..
Some times a good kick in the teeth is just what a team needs to get focused. Hopefully that's the case with this team.. But like Zipp says, hope is not a great game plan..
We were tighter than an Amish bride on her Honeymoon..
The KP years has distorted Cards fans expectations either way. We beat a cupcake by 40 and we're like, "Hell yeah, we're back"! We couldn't beat anyone by 40 the last two seasons.
Then we get abused by a talented and experienced ranked team and some are like, " Here we go again, not competitive." More of the same from the last two seasons.
Neither is correct yet. We all know college basketball is a long season and even top 10 ranked teams have bad games that are very disappointing.
Cards fans are just impatient. We want so bad to know for sure we're indeed back to being a tournament team. I think we will see in the affirmative in the next several games.

Yes they were. Crawford made an excellent point about the crowd having an adverse effect on the team,everyone but Chucky having never played in front of a home crowd like that before. Hell,I thought Chucky was tight.
Not looking to make excuses. They'll get another crack at it and THEY will have show what they can do.
Montana lost by 35 and shot 36 percent from the field.
UT's defense is legit. Not sold on their offense quite yet.
Tennessee is a legit team top to bottom. They have a good established coach. I wish we hadn't lost by 20, a close game would've been easier to swallow. We've got a couple easy games to work on things before jumping back in the frying pan.
A loss is a loss but hopefully we have learned more from the a** kicking than we would from a closer game. I would rather the games to be competitive and not easy.
There is nothing wrong with losing to a really good team. It works both ways youare never as good as your best night and never as bad as your worst night. It is also normal considering how bad Louisville has been for fans, including me to over react.
We will see my main concern is this team athletic enough to run his stuff against better team. Test 1 they couldn’t which means they have to all the little things screens, block outs and hard cuts correctly.

Why are you leaving out the other opposite example I made? You know what I wrote was not about what makes me optimistic, but what can and cannot make all fans think one way or another.
You just pick out one sentence and then make an accusation? And what in the hell is a bauble?
I wasn't saying I had an optimistic explanation for the UT game. The point of my post was that we don't know which point of view is true yet and both positive and negative outlooks should be tempered.
You picked one sentence and used it to imply that I was the fools gold. Thought you were more honest than that zipp.
I'm not required to respond to anyone's post or your various comments.
When I used the term "fool's gold" in response to you and another poster, I was CLEARLY addressing blowout wins on our schedule. I said so. I wasn't referring to anything else, and I stand by that comment.
Beating up on overmatched teams is meaningless even if one or two fans who post here like them...
