…..good game.
Stanford was tough for a few years in the late 90’s, early 2000’s.

Louisville loses to Stanford…

Mikel Brown Jr makes a big difference.
Yeah, but injuries shouldn’t cause you to play worse. Kelsey should have had another player who is equally as good as Brown to fill in, remember? This is Rafters 101.
Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Kelsey!
(Heavy dose of sarcasm)
Question UL and KU fans are asking respectively.... have Brown Jr and Darryn Peterson played their last collegiate games.
Brown is a first round NBA draft pick, heck, he might be a lottery pick, you can't just replace him.
Take anyone's best player off the court and they'll lose a lot of road games.
We have 4 losses, those 4 losses can be attributed to missing Lowe and/or JQ. We're a much better team when Lowe plays. Same thing with UofL, take Brown away and they're going to sputter.
If you take Boozer off Duke, they'll lose a lot of games.
Take philon off Alabama, they would be unranked.
Do we know how long Brown will be out? I didn't even know he was injured. That's a massive loss for them.
Hard to laugh when they beat our ***.
They lose but we got destroyed, big difference.
Compared to what might happen to another very good team, this UofL loss is small potatoes. 
Shhhhhhh
Shhhhhhh
I just now remembered they were a number one seed in the 2004 tournament
Yeah I’m gonna wait about 15 hrs until I take any shots at other teamsCompared to what might happen to another very good team, this UofL loss is small potatoes.
Shhhhhhh
i have no memory of this team or any of their players
Well, Seattle just let Gonzaga off the hook because they missed a couple free throws late. That game just went to OT.
Something doesn’t pass the smell test with Brown. Heard some stuff over the weekend from an ex-player.
meanwhile Michigan just beat ranked USC team by 30 lol.
Michigan looks like the best team i’ve seen in years. Just a machine right now.

The Mad Dog couldn't dance, but he was a helluva college player.
No sense in hiding stuff from a rival team since you've brought it up! Spill it....
Mad Dog is the Cal coach - they beat Notre Dame tonight with unbelievable ending.
Notre Dame coach went after Refs & had to be restrained . Great watch.
Yeah, but Stanford isn’t a top 7 team as good as Gonzaga.
Seattle had the game won last night and it was @ Gonzaga.
Obviously Seattle is very good if they can beat Stanford and almost beat Gonzaga, but that would have been a huge upset if they could have finished it off.
The Louisville fanbase doesn’t deserve a player of Brown's caliber.
I went searching on various Louisville message boards last night and they're all ghost towns. Their on3 board had 8 posts in the game thread, 7 were from the same guy. That's crazy.
I was hoping to find information on Brown, but didn't find much more than a couple guys asking if Brown will play again.

Adidas gave him a bag to go to UL...no way in hell he goes to a program like UL if Adidas doesn't steer him there
Right. Teams tend to lose without their best players.
But there’s no excuse to not try and win when they are out.
UK didn’t get boo’ed off the floor in Bridgestone because of the loss.
In fact, they were boo’ed to the locker room at the end of the first half.
It was still possible to win.
They weren’t boo’ed in Rupp against IU because they were behind.
This team has chosen to just not compete against Mich St, Gonzaga and Bellarmine.
That’s the difference.
The ex-player said $4 from Adidas was how it happened. was told that during the summer.
Issue he said now was Brown’s his people are asking for more. Why risk injury if you are going to be a lottery pick ?
Take it FWIW.
He could be just talking
after he gets a few drinks down, but that’s the scuttlebutt.
No telling what is true is this day and time but nothing would surprise me at this point.
Remember all the rumors about us a month ago. Some were outrageous.

This is the issue with high end players, especially freshmen that are already inked into the first round of the draft. You pay them big NIL and they do this crap.
Someone gives you millions of dollars to play, you hold up your end of the bargain. But these kids don't think that way.
Give me the veterans that are playing their guts out hoping to get to the NBA somehow.
If Louisville did the ole "Mitch Barnhart", where they drew up a deal that is completely one sided and gives all the power to the signee, they're dumb.

That was a classic trap game for Louisville in that they looked very good the previous game while Stanford looked like crap. Couple that with looking forward to Duke, their next game and you have a trap game. Being on the road to the west coast for both probably didn’t help. I love that it happened. This board would be beside itself if Brown was a Cat, missing a number of games, and no really reports other than an injury. Maybe there is something going on. If a stud plays enough games to establish his bona fides as a lottery pick maybe a minor injury will make him consider just sitting out the rest of the season. That might be far fetched and totally off base but…
It’s not too off base. That’s a concern for multiple schools right now, including Kansas and Louisville. You put all your eggs into the freshman OAD basket —- they already have their money and any sign of injury, they are thinking about their draft stock. There are people whispering that Peterson’s agent wants him to sit out the rest of the year. I expect he still comes back, but if that was happening to us we would have Pope’s head on a stick.
4 dollars is a pretty good dealThe ex-player said $4 from Adidas was how it happened. was told that during the summer.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is shutting it down for injury even if not hurt. I don’t know about the money. It needs to be where schools can not pay if they sit or try this crap.The ex-player said $4 from Adidas was how it happened. was told that during the summer.
