[shadow force]

Let's Go Cards!

 

[KerryRhodes]

GO

CARDS

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Can we do it

 

[BPGhost]

When Williams puts the ball on the deck - bad things result

 

[KozmasAgain]

Both teams look tight

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

We look nervous

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Thats was a foul by Zion we have the worst home court refs

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

If their is ever a game this year for VJ to really contribute tonite i'm praying is it.

 

[KozmasAgain]

That's 2 obvious fouls on Zion they didn't call and that is what all the booing is about.

 

[earsky]

Thats was a foul by Zion we have the worst home court refs

It's become a tradition. Actually,it goes back years.

 

[shadow force]

Slow start from both teams. Gotta limit those turnovers.

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Fore needs not to be taken the shots

 

[earsky]

Please contest every shot fellas

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

I dont like us playing at their pace

 

[shadow force]

Sutton showing up to play.

Keep fighting every possession.

 

[KozmasAgain]

This is really a physical game and I don't know if we hang in this type of game. I am hoping for the best.

Thats why i dont like playing at their pace

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Akoy needs to be brought in for a couple minutes to use his big body on Zion

 

[KozmasAgain]

Perry 3 shots in a row I would rather eat a little clock and pass for a better shot.

 

[BPGhost]

Williams is getting rag dolled.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I agree on Akoy let's give it a try, Malik gives us shot blocking but he is getting pushed around in there.

 

[BPGhost]

Perry 3 shots in a row I would rather eat a little clock and pass for a better shot.

You just knew he was jacking that long challenged 2 with Zion on him.

Terrible basketball IQ

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Zion is just freaking sick

 

[KozmasAgain]

CC is driving underneath with nowhere to go they need to stop that. They are really focusing on covering McMahon.

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Dukes defense is funneling our guards into the lane

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

i will say very shocked and happy but their are two halfs

 

[earsky]

Darrius!!

CC with 7 assists. Keep finding them CC!!

 

[KozmasAgain]

Great first half I never thought we would be leading and never thought we would have a 9 point lead. I agree there is 2 halves in every ballgame let's play the 2nd half as well as we played the 1st.

 

[shadow force]

Solid first half. If the Cards can keep it up they could take the win.

 

[shadow force]

Perry!

 

[KozmasAgain]

If Perry plays smart he is very valuable he has the talent. I also think we are playing the pack line defense better than Virginia and it is causing Duke problems.

 

[Cue Card]

I F'ing LOVE this TEAM. Let me repeat - TEAM!!! They don't always play smart but DAMN do they play HARD!! I am so freaking proud of that first 20 minutes tonight. I feel like a new papa.

Score coming out after the half is 0-0. That is the way the guys in black need to think coming out to play the second 20.

Go CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Great first half I never thought we would be leading and never thought we would have a 9 point lead. I agree there is 2 halves in every ballgame let's play the 2nd half as well as we played the 1st.

The key is keeping the players focused and level they on a high

 

[BPGhost]

Long way to go. Hope K hasn’t watched film of teams pressing us in the 2nd half.

 

[shadow force]

Long way to go. Hope K hasn’t watched film of teams pressing us in the 2nd half.

I'm waiting for Duke to bust that out.

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Jay Williams is such a U of L hater i cant stand him

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

I expect pressure next half

 

[Cue Card]

You can bet your bottom dollar the ball pressure is coming.

 

[Steelers2012_rivals379029]

Can we play another half with that amount of physicality on the boards, defections and steals on defense, and execution on offense? Can't wait to find out.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I really think the pack line defense is the difference. Virginia has been playing it for years but in their game against Duke they had to many breakdowns. I am worried about halftime adjustments and Duke going to the press. I sure hope we worked on that this week.
