Louisville vs. MSU game thread

[Majestic Red]

Decided to start this up since there isn't one that I'm seeing.

21-11 Cardinals, 6:54 left

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Love what I am seeing except for this mich st 7-0 run.

If we hit a couple of those 3s we would be closer to 30 right now

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Looks like Izzo worked the refs enough

 

[kozmas]

I like what I am seeing but if we can develop a strong inside game we could be a Final Four team.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Hopefully Nanu can stay in the game in the 2nd

 

[Cue Card]

I think we're going to have a really good team this year.

Now we all know the Cards aren't suppose to win this game so the crowd, the refs, and Izzo's whining will be probably be enough to bury the Cards in the second half.

It doesn't matter. These kids now KNOW they can play with any team in college basketball. This ONE game no matter the outcome is going to do wonders for this team. The confidence is going to skyrocket now.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

If they call fouls against MSU when we go in the paint in the 2nd half we will win. We would be up 10 if they didn't let Izzo work them.

Agreed.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Also agree.

We are trading blows right now. What a game.

 

[Louisvillian]

Gotta keep MSU off the offensive glass

 

[cuzimacardfan]

You are right. They have been rebounding well.

 

[Louisvillian]

Hope we keep attacking the basket. Foul on Nanu hurts.

 

[kozmas]

Michigan St. In the one and one with 11:24 left that sucks.

 

[Majestic Red]

State's gonna be at the line for the rest of the game.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

In double bonus with 10 mins left. We are not even in the one and one. Tie game.

Will be a miracle if we win this game

Make that the double bonus with over 10 minutes left. We are not blocking out but Izzo's crying is getting the desired results.

 

[Majestic Red]

Two nice shots from beyond the arc.

 

[kozmas]

So the announcer who was trashing Pitino is an IU grad.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

We probably need to go to man

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Hahaha. They was a block all the way. You gotta be kidding me.

 

[kozmas]

AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL call on Lee.

 

[yoshukai]

I'm a Ky fan even I can see there was no way in hell that was a charge on Lee .

 

[Louisvillian]

Wow these refs suck.

 

[mgrody]

Worst charge call I've seen this year. That wasn't even close

 

[kozmas]

At this stage in the season during crunch time I would rather see the ball in the hands of the guards. Hope our bigs develop but they aren't there now.

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Really wish we got that block call now

 

[cuzimacardfan]

Beat the spread

 

[Majestic Red]

Oh well. Not a good night for the ACC against B10. Syracuse might lose to Wisconsin in overtime,.

 

[Louisvillian]

Really wish we got that block call now

Will end up being the difference in the game. These refs were total idiots. They missed calls against us too but in the end the took care of Izzo's crotch.

 

[Steelers2012]

Really encouraging game even though we lost. I truly didn't know how we stacked up against some of the best in the country. Now we know...we belong. Good to know.

Agree but the bogus charge call against Damion totally changed the game. It's no wonder MSU and Duke are unbeatable at home.

I don't disagree, but we had plenty of chances to overcome that bad call. How many times did we leave Forbes open in the corner, or did Mahmoud miss a bunny shot (instead of dunking it)? A hundred plays make up a game; you just have to make more of them count than the other team.
