Its not about giving Pitino payback. Its about creating a story line and talking point. Its also why its the 1st game of the tournament. We will have to listen to some rehash the entire thing for 2 hours no matter what. I honestly feel bad for everyone involved. The coaches and players on both sides are going to get asked about this leading up to the game and both Mack and Pitino jr are going to get the questions over and over again. It will be the Ncaa's wet dream to have Pitino show up for this matchup.

I probably know the answer but are you rooting for UofL or Minn in this game?
I'm rooting for the clown show to be under a microscope. Thanks for asking...

...Deener is already saying that a pro Rick faction he knows that has ties to both regimes previous and new. Are going to cause a bit of issues with the Cardinal admin this week because they plan on being behind the Gophers bench. They still write checks to U of L but are loyal to Rick also. This is the crap playing the Gophers is going to cause we are trying to heal things here. And it just seems to be nothing but possible roadblocks...
U of L can make a clean break...Nobody's forcing anyone to cash checks.

Of course, that's money we can hardly do without. Sucks to be us...

Was that an answer? I'm sure you will be watching the game, who are you cheering for Louisville or Minnesota? Whether or not you like the current admin an actual Louisville fan surely would be wanting UofL to win even if it vindicates the "clown show's" hire.

Lol! I’m guessing you aren’t gonna hear what you want to hear....unless they drop some Dick Vitale sound into the telecast.

We were the 25th overall seed and got a 7 seed. Should have been a 5 seed.
25 / 4 = 6.25 which means all the six seeds were already taken and thus we are the first 7th seed, aka 25th, exactly where we should have been. a 5 seed would have meant we were 16th-19th in the country which is not our ranking. 7th seed is exactly what we deserved

Yes, I realize that now. Thanks.

Hey we're talking basketball here, more specifically the NCAA tournament.. Take your broken down agenda somewhere else because nobody and I mean NOBODY wants to hear that garbage on here.

Great! Then we can listen to Vitale talk about how he recommended McMahon to Pitino.

The NCAAT is broadcast on the CBS network of channels. Dickie V. is all ESPN/ABC. He'll be an in-studio analyst, but no play by play.

Remind the guy who brought the subject up. I'd rather talk about how the new guys are doing. That's my "agenda"...

Deener is already saying that a pro Rick faction he knows that has ties to both regimes previous and new. Are going to cause a bit of issues with the Cardinal admin this week because they plan on being behind the Gophers bench. They still write checks to U of L but are loyal to Rick also.

This all sounds like a great opening scene for a new GODFATHER 4 movie

MSU is totally not the same team we played earlier in the season they are much more better with Ward back and Langford in the lineup which he wasn't then. I'm just gonna take it 1 game at a time cause we got enough to deal with this week with the Gophers and Pitino crap.

I know i'm being a bit over the top with it but it is going to be a tense week for Mack.

McQuaid was the one that was out.

MSU has improved since the beginning of the year because Goins, Tilman, and Henry have all upped their game. So has McQuaid who just dropped 27 on UM. Problem we have is depth with Langford not returning and Ahrens our backup wing going down in the BTT finals.

Ward is back but doesnt start and he's still working his way back into game shape.

If you can turn MSU over and get a key player into foul trouble we can be had.

I will also say we are a different team than on November.

Henry starts now instead of Langford and has really developed into a great rebounding and defensive guard. He has plus athleticism. McQuaid was first team all B1G defensive team. He did not play vs you guys.

You guys play a lot of 3 guard rotations on the floor. First matchup we didnt have our best perimeter defender and relied heavily on a frosh who wasnt ready but has really developed. We had to use our sub Ahrens to guard some of you guards and Ahrens is more of a bulkier guy who guards other teams forwards, not guards. He struggled that game.

And of course, I'll take our frontcourt over just about every team in the country. We are #3 in rebounding margin. If we matchup I think it will be a battle but I like our chances.

In regards to Minny--they have two good bigs and a big guard in Coffey but no bench and are a bad 3 point shooting team. Fun fact I saw is that Minnesota only takes about 28% of their shots from 3 and you guys are well over 40% as a team.

One thing i've come to learn and try to avoid is harping on another teams weakness. Seems every time the things they do consistently bad . For some reason when it comes to U of L all those weakness disappear for that game. I've read that the Gophers are a horrible FT and Three point shooting team which means they will hit like 10 plus threes and not miss a FT.
