in-game thread

[dottom]

Thought I'd start an in-game thread so we don't have scattered conversations.

Louisville opened up 5-0 run then Illinois got the momentum back with that contested trey with time running out on shot clock.

Looks like Louisville is defending the trey farther out front but also giving up the inside and offensive boards.

Remember that Louisville is one of the best teams at stealing the ball on a pass due to speed and those long arms in that zone. If Illinois goes inside they can give Louisville lots of problems.

Louisville needs to draw more fouls going to the hole and stop with the outside shots. Illinois can get into some foul trouble real quick if Louisville does that. Coaching needs to come in at this poitn and recognize this.

3-missed lay-ins by Louisville in first 5:30 of 2H.

Actually 2 missed dunks, and one should've had dunk but passed it for a long 2 that missed, no rebound.

42-42 .... 13:30 .... 2nd half OVER was gold IMO

 

[dottom]

That Louisville D has 4 turnovers already in first 7 minutes of 2H, but Illinois is also shooting lights out from long range. Touche!

 

[mrhotpicks2]

pts are flying all of a sudden .... i hope the next game is as good as this one

 

[dottom]

Yeah, over looks great. Especially with Illinois shooting lights out from long-range. Where would they be without the trey with time running out? Guess that is part of their game.

Should've been on it myself...

 

[mrhotpicks2]

man the game OVER may come in. they are pushing 100 pts at the 10:45 mark

 

[mode the lode]

GAME WILL SLOW DOWN NOW

 

[mrhotpicks2]

i wouldn't bet on it, 2nd half over is all but in. a little pissed i laid off. i would not be shocked at all if the game itself goes OVER.

lousiville not giving up on the 2-3

 

[mrhotpicks2]

yeah i know, wtf are they thinking?

 

[mrhotpicks2]

louisville in trouble, they have gone cold.

 

[mrhotpicks2]

they are taking horrible shots(louisville) , this one is over

 

[mode the lode]

110 PTS. 5.37 LEFT 34 POINTS AND IT STILL STAYS UNDER FOR THE GAME

 

[mrhotpicks2]

here comes the press.

 

[mrhotpicks2]

yeah ... game prolly stays UNDER, but 30+ pts in 5 mins is NOTHING in a very meaningfull college game.

 

[mrhotpicks2]

what an awful possesion .... louisville is toast

 

[mrhotpicks2]

zone still? Pitno not playing his cards right.

 

[dottom]

Louisville really playing a bad game, and Illinois unstoppable from long range.

If only Louisville played an average game. How many shots from 2-feet or less have they missed??????
