The Louisville school record for least team turnovers in a loss was 5. Tonight we turned it over 1 time against Georgetown, and the outcome was never in doubt near the end of the game in a loss.
The Cards gave some false hope the last few weeks, but its NIT time this March. If the Cards manage to beat UConn on the road later this month and take care of business against the bottom of the league at home, they'll finish 10-6 and I believe become the first 10-6 Big East team to not make the NCAA tourney.
Yes, The Ville has no offense.
But, G'town looked good.
Not as bad as Cincy's believe me...but I fell ya. Both programs will be back in due time...
Louisville Basketball at this present time just simply S-U-C-K-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No two ways about it, we are a very average basketball team and a LONG way from the Final Four team in 2005. Ellis Myles, Larry O'Bannon, TaQuan Dean and especially Francisco Garcia AINT walking through that door. Hell Reggie Theus, Vince Taylor and Scotty Davenport aint walkin through that door either.
I dont get why UofL is down...they certainly have talent judging by their last few classes. Have a lot of these guys not made it on campus???
Tonight's defense aside, the team plays good defense and much of the time they run the offense well. They just cannot shoot. It doesn't matter if passing is crisp and guys are normally shooting open shots if you brick most of them. Its amazing how many of them, again even when wide open, do not even hit the rim. I'm talking shots that hit the backboard a foot to either side or airball. 39 of 115 from the field (34%) the last two games. I think the team needs to go to the eye doctor.
The joke I've seen on the UofL board is that if the team could just shoot 40% they'd win nearly everytime. I guess it's not really a joke if its mostly true however. For example, we lost to UMass & Nova by 4 apiece after shooting 21% & 23% from the field in the 1st half of each game. Sharp shooting will gloss over a lot of other problems and the opposite is simply true in this case.

Where did that exciting Pitino offense of 10-20 years ago go to?
Has he changed that much? Changed his recruiting? Changed his offensive style?
UL's team seems like they have regressed since their run to the Final Four 2 years ago.

Pitino has lost alot of his recruiting power, from some of his assit. coaches.. including one Mick Cronin..
