NCAA TOURNAMENT: LOUISVILLE VS MINNESOTA GAME THREAD

[Cue Card]

Minny continues bombing 3s. Lol

LOL, I know, right? They average 5 a game. They have 5 now before the half. Unbelievable.

 

[shadow force]

Huge 3 by Perry. If Perry keeps playing under control he is a valuable asset out there with his shooting, length, and athleticism. But he has to play smarter than earlier in the season.

 

[earsky]

Get em all out of their system!

 

[shadow force]

Definitely need more assisted buckets like that last one.

 

[Cue Card]

How many walks are they gonna get away with?????

 

[shadow force]

Better hope Minny cools off from 3 or its game over.

 

[Cue Card]

Minny soda drained 6 three pointers in the first half. If they hit 6 in the second half, we're going home.

 

[earsky]

I feel pretty good down 5.

 

[earsky]

They are playing well,and I sense our kids need to answer.

 

[shadow force]

I feel pretty good down 5.

Definitely not insurmountable but they keep hitting big shots every time UofL gets in striking distance.

 

[Cue Card]

I feel pretty good down 5.

Actually considering they've hit 6 three pointers, being down by just 5 (with them hitting a last second 3 right before the half), is not terrible. It will be crucial to catch them before the first 4 minutes goes by in the second half.

 

[Cue Card]

Gee, there's a shocker. Charles Barclay doesn't care about the NCAA stuff regarding the LSU coach. Imagine that?? A guy who admits that if you're not cheating in the SEC, you're not trying doesn't have any issue with the LSU head coach buying ball players who is on the roster playing. I am simply stunned he would have that opinion. LMAO!!

 

[shadow force]

Momentum was with Minny in the first half. Cards have to take it back.

 

[shadow force]

Not looking good at all for the Cards. Lot of time left but Cards falling behind .

 

[shadow force]

ENOCH!

 

[shadow force]

Gotta take Ryan out.

 

[Cue Card]

We are in deep trouble. Can't get them all back on one shot, and they're killing it from beyond the arc which is not what they do normally. Now they're taking it inside.

We only win this game if we toughen up on defense and take it to the rack.

 

[Cue Card]

Pretty pass by Ryan. Need more of those types of passes from everyone. Ball movement!!!

 

[earsky]

Let the comeback begin!

 

[Cue Card]

Hoping Minnesota tightens up and the Cards can take advantage. Need to play strong defense. Nothing other than max effort on D will do.

 

[Cue Card]

Perry looked tight on that free throw.

 

[shadow force]

They pull away any more than this and I fear it will be over. They're scoring too easily, white hot from 3, while Cards can't do anything against their defense.

 

[yum center]

They need to keep going to Enoch in the post. They cannot stop him. But they are panicking as usual and trying to get it all back at once.

 

[shadow force]

Feels like it's over, fellas. I'll be back later.

 

[Knucklehank1]

Feels like it's over, fellas. I'll be back if I'm wrong.

Those 2 threes were daggers

 

[Cue Card]

Today belongs to Minny soda. Minny soda is hitting the 3's and we are in full panic mode. It's been a great year and I'm proud of these guys for playing as hard as they did, but today doesn't look to be their day.

I'm out too. Need to cook lunch.

 

[yum center]

Man if Minnesota keeps shooting like this they might end up in the final four.

 

[CardVille]

Was never the same team after the Duke loss. Last tourney for a while. Waiting for the NCAA to hurry up and put us out of our misery or let us enjoy our #2 class.

 

[Louisvillian]

Minnesota playing confident and loose and the Cards have been tight throughout. What was it Rick used to preach about playing loose and taking chances in the tournament? It seems to be working here.

 

[earsky]

You can't press with nobody getting the rim.

 

[KerryRhodes]

Thats got to be ballgame..............

 

[RockvilleRed]

Come ON!!! DEFENSE!

 

[earsky]

Sounds crazy,but Minny looks tired.

 

[KerryRhodes]

Shooting without team mates in rebounding position. Fundamentals

 

[BooneCo_Card]

Sounds crazy,but Minny looks tired.

They are, but they get two days to rest.

 

[Tenncard]

Unfortunately, we'll be no better next year. This is going to be a 3-4 year build.

 

[earsky]

It rolled down his arm

 

[Cue Card]

Unfortunately, we'll be no better next year. This is going to be a 3-4 year build.

I disagree. We'll be better next year based on talent alone. We got a great class of talent coming in, and the talent coming back will be a year older and hopefully better. This team will be much better next year.

Gotta get tougher,become a better defensive team inside and out. I think there will be some guys get their feelings hurt if they don't become tougher. Mack is recruiting those kinda guys.
It has already begun.
