I get that I just think for organization purposes it's better to have game day threads in the dictated forum
Shaky start from the field (1-6), but Louisville started the game on skates defensively.
Pat Kelsey turns to Rodgers, Wooley, Rooths to stop dribble penetration.

Kobe Rodgers provides a spark right away. Gets a steal while defending Darryn Peterson and crashes the offensive glass, drawing foul in process.
Great stretch from Khalifa, already up to 3 assists. Just hit Hadley on a cut to go the line too.
Cards respond, now up 12-11 at the second media timeout. Bench provides spark to get the Cards back on track.
Aly Khalifa: 3 PTS, 1 RB, 3 AST
Khani Rooths: 3 PTS, 3 RBS

3's not dropping so far.. Was hoping these shooters were pure. We seem to be playing way to fast too.
Darryn Peterson takeover here in the Yum. He leads all scorers with 16, meanwhile, Louisville has really struggled from the floor. Shooting just 7-of-19 (37%) so far.
14-2 Kansas run, 30-18 Jayhawks

Louisville's looks, spacing, and methods have all been fine today offensively. Still, a couple bad shots, going 1-of-13 from 3 and a negative assist/TO ratio have the Cards down 37-26

Legit question: do we ever get to practice in the Yum Center? Feels like most home games we struggle shooting.
Quick timeout from KU. Louisville comes out firing and cuts the lead to 10, 48-38. 18:13 left in 2nd half.
We have no legitimate rim protector . Fru has been a disappointment so far.
Not a fan of Kahlifa. I dont need my big man being a good passer, I need him to play defense and rebound.
Like last year, getting to the foul line and creating high-percentage looks is the name of the game for Louisville.
Differen't vibe when the ball is going in, but the Cards have had better attention to detail since half.
51-42 KU

51-42 KU at the 2nd media timeout of the half.
Conwell still being aggressive despite struggles from deep. Excelling at getting to the FT line and drawing contact.
KU with 3 turnovers already this half.
