LOUISVILLE VS CLEMSON GAME THREAD- 7PM ESPNU

I don't have a great feeling about this game.
I sure as hell hope the Cards prove my feeling wrong. Clemson is tough.
Line holding steady,Cards-3.5
 
All I can really ask for is for the Cards to be competitive. If we lose a 5 point game, it's not a disaster, but if we lose like we did to Ole Miss, well that would be a setback.

Going forward we fans are going to have the same feel before these games. I don't see how we could ever be overconfident, or that we have no chance. Clemson is a good team, so beating them will take a great performance.
 
It will likely be a tough game to win. I'm just glad that we can have that nervous yet still positive vibe before a big game rather than being resigned to a loss.
 
Need to get the ball in the lane. I think this Clemson team will foul a lot - IF - the Cards force the subject.

Yeah those easier baskets I was talking about. Don't understand but sometimes we just have guys parking out on the line. Not like we're hot out there tonight.

Somebody cut to the basket!! Back doors,something.
 
It's games like this where we miss Pryor. If he hadn't gotten hurt, I believe we would be in the top 15.

That is not a flagrant foul. He was trying to block the shot. Now I guess I hope they call it for Louisville's sake, but that should not be a flagrant foul. You're not allowed to block a dunk?
 
Wasn't as bad as I thought but boooo anyway.😅
He actually did block the shot but got him with the body. That being a flagrant means a defensive player has to let the player dunk or lay in the ball.

There's no way that was a flagrant foul. If that happened to a Louisville player, everyone here would be in an uproar.
 
Just in time Mr Hadley.
Let's GO!
Gotta keep them off the offensive glass
 
Traore really gets it at the offensive end. His movement without the ball creates most of those bunnies. Love it!

This CU team is pretty poised. They do not get rattled and play pretty sound basketball.
 
I think we've got us a serious basketball team folks. Great chemistry,defense,rebounding and unselfishness.

I really do believe this is the first team since the 2013 champs to have that combination of great IQ and effort. They just don't have the overall talent of the Champs.
Before the season started, i told the lady who cleans our house and is a huge supporter that this team will be very good, that they were comprised of leading scorers, players of the year and defensive players of the year, just for smaller schools but they knew how to play and they knew how to win. at seasons start, we had i believe the most experiences team in the country in terms of total years the players have played. so basically, what you said...
 
remember just a few weeks ago everyone thought CPK was a rain threes all day and if you make them you win but if you miss them you lose kinda coach, well once again Cards shot under 30% from 3's and won. i guess he knows what he's doing. i've already forgotten who were our coaches after Denny Crum. CPK rules!!!
 
During our much discussed coach search , with lots of hand ringing going on, I watched College of Charleston play several games. What I saw was an undermanned team playing their asses off, that's coaching. I said at that time I wanted Pat Kelsey as our coach because if he could inspire those guys to play so hard ,what could he do with more/better talent. Now we know. I love how this team never quits, dives for balls, doesn't backdown from any one. Again that's coaching. GO CARDS!!
