So the somewhat improved play the last 2 games absolutely has to translate into wins in games like today. If not then the season truly is over in November.

That will happen if they figure out how to defend and block out on missed free throws and don't turn the ball over and pass and not be out coached. GO CARDS!

People say, Louisville doesn't make many 3's. Cards had three open 3 point shots in the first 4 minutes of the game.

All bricks.

People say Louisville doesn't have many assists. Would have had three before the first TV timeout.

Cards have no pure shooter except maybe Williams.

This is our identity.

Man, Stephen King couldn't write a better novel than the curse of the Louisville Cardinals men's basketball program. Maybe the Yum center is haunted?

I literally expect the worse each time down the court.

Once these guys decide to shoot, it doesn't matter if there are 4 guys hanging on them or how open another teammate is they shoot.

It's truly a mystery how bad we play at home. Any human being standing on the side of the court pretending to coach should not look this inept. It's gone on so long now that it looks like a curse. It just makes no sense the performance against Texas and what we're seeing today.

Part of how bad they look is purely due to lack of effort. Sure they're missing shots but you can see them look better when they all actually play hard

These guys hang their heads when they miss their shots. Basketball is all about confidence. If you doubt yourself you will not perform as well.

This is where a coach like Pitino gets to them and changes that. But I digress.

I don't get Payne waiting until we are in a deficit before bringing Johnson in. He should be starting first and foremost over anyone else on the team.

I just cant figure out how someone on that bench doesn't tell Kenny what to do. He is sooo clueless and the guys have NO COACHING at all. Never changes anything. It is either insanity or stupidity...you decide

They are so bad. That last possession was Clark going to hero ball missed then White does the same and gets bailed out with a foul.

JJ is running around with his head cut off on defense. Unreal.

This team is going to have to push to match last seasons win total. Until some miracle happens and the learn how to defend it's going to be an iffy proposition.
