Non-Conference Wins

[Knucklehank1]

Vermont, Lipscomb, Mich St and Robert Morris all in lead of their conferences and all were non-conference wins for UofL. Not bad.

We can do it. NC State took them to overtime tonight before losing by 1. It'll be tough for sure but this bunch has shown they can play at a very high level when they want to. Just need to stay focused and play each game like it's the only game left to play.

We scoff at no name mid majors(excluding MSU of course) perennially on the schedule. We never know how their seasons turn out after December. It's really working out well this season(MSU included)

I went through conference standings about a week ago and found this but was too lazy to post. Our OOC losses were to three top twelve teams and an Indiana who looked good at the time. I am impressed with scheduling. We wanted a tougher OOC schedule and we got it.

I watched the Virginia vs NCST game and Virginia struggled because the NCST defense hounded them so much. I think our defense is a lot better so I think we have a legitimate shot to beat Virginia.

Also that guy kid wasn't hitting all those crazy shots as he does against us and Salt fouled out . Salt seems to be a big thorn in our side also.

Please don’t forget or underestimate the fact that their starting point guard, Markell Johnson didn’t play against us. He’s also not completely 100% but found it interesting that in OT, that’s the guy State wanted the ball in his hands. He can take anyone off the dribble to the rim.

Good point. We can only play against who they put on the floor though so there is that.

I agree Guy wasn't hitting those crazy shots like normal and NCST's starting point guard didn't play against us. VA vs NCST wasn't a high scoring game my point was how Virginia struggled against the defense. Virginia had 16 turnovers because of the pressure and I think we apply more pressure.

That is why I always want everyone’s full compliment and no excuses. But as someone once said, you can only play the cards you’re dealt...

State didn’t have PG Markell against us and he is a key component of their press. They never really use their full court pressure on us, only token pressure bringing up the ball. Even then we did have some issues with it.
