Welp. That sucked.
1) holy 3ball batman!
2) Ball handlers werent handling the ball.
3) the press just killed us.
sigh.
The inability to get the ball down low (guards not getting the inlet pass where it needed to be) the inability to get good shots, the inability to handle the press.
Sigh. It was a nice run. Looking forward to next year. We have Mr Basketball from the state of Indiana and Mr Basketball and runner up from State up Mich coming in next year. The future is looking good.
Of all the Louisville teams to make the elite 8, this one?
They got a awfully good draw with Davidson, New Mexico, and a Spartan team they match up very well with. Stars aligning for Pitinos to go back to the final four.
Has to be the weakest team he will ever take to this point. They play some pretty good team defense though.
That little "man and a half" full court press was a killer tonight. MSU has Shooting guards converted to the Point. Louisville exploited it, they did what they had to do. Smart coaching. And incredible 3pt shooting. freaking incredible.
states guards killed them tonight. Louisville had some guys hit triples that never even shoot them.
Louisville rarely pressed during the season, but like you said, converted point guards vs Pitinos is just asking for it.
If Dieng can stay out of foul trouble, typically Louisville is pretty tough.
People here in Louisville are already calling for a UK rematch.
