Good game cards, you should be proud of that effort
It just never ends. Louisville is the most unlucky team in history. We deserved to win this game. I just don't get it how it never ends.
Played really well didn’t make enough plays on defense to win. Only 1 game so let’s see what happens the next game.
If they can play like this for more than one game they can beat some teams. Problem is right now this is the outlier. I hope they can build off this game.
Still good game and shout out to Payne and team
That shot hurt my soul, deep deep deep into my soul.
Very happy to watch a game like that, felt like it’s been years. Won’t even go into the refs at the end of that game, but damn

Not only did the guys show a lot of heart down the stretch, they looked like a well coached team for most of the game.
Abmas made an incredible shot against a perfectly executed defense.

It really was a good effort. The game looks completely different when the ball goes in. I loved the aggression of White, Johnson, and Clark.
Still a long way to go defensively but that last possession was perfectly played just a hell of a shot. It needs to be the same effort tomorrow. They have to get Okafor 5 minutes a game.

A very tough loss. Clark could not have defended that shot any better.
Key stat - Cards hold Texas to 11.8% (2-17) from 3. A lot of that was a credit to the Cards defense.

I just hope this loss doesn't crush their spirits. I hope it motivates them to play this hard every game.
Very interested to see if they continue to play with this effort tomorrow.
Even if they don’t, proud of these kids for the way they put their hearts into it today.

I'm curious to see how they play tomorrow as well. If it's back to regular Payne ball then stick a fork in this season. Hopefully they play just as hard and beat IU.
We could have and should have won that game. Coaches didnt blow it. Right calls were made. Stripes suck as usual but thats no excuse. They suck every game so you just have to overcome. Bad karma still with us. We'll get past it sooner or later . Nice effort guys.
Indiana tomorrow at 4:30 Eastern. we can win if we play like we did today.
Indiana shoots 27.5% from 3 pointers and doesn't offensive rebound.

That's what I want to see tomorrow. Don't let this game get them down but work harder on the things that would have won it for them.
Another key stat - Mike James 2 points on 1 of 6 shooting.
We saw and got so much more out of Clark, White, Johnson, JJ and BHH. Have to build off this one.
