Open Thread: Louisville vs. Kentucky

Let’s hope today’s the day to start playing like a team,,,,,,,,Against uk’s man to man,big earl and t will have to score the ball 1 on 1 and when the help comes they have to make better decisions passing the ball. PLEASE GODS, LET US WIN TODAY!!

May I concur?

I was at the Ole Miss game and they looked good for about five minutes. They’re driving me crazy at this point with the Jeckyll/Hyde crap.

BTW, if I miss the beginning of the game because channel 12 in Cincinnati doesn’t switch, I’m going to be highly upset.

I’m pretty excited about this one. Hopefully we knock down some shots early and keep Freedom Hall rockin’ for the full 40 minutes. Off topic: What was up with that 40 point beatdown Marquette gave Cincy? Marquette really good, or Cincy really bad?

strikes early!

… to have Samardo out this early. Good team defense so far.

I don’t care if it gets a T, he deserves to be hurt.

I’m kidding of course, but seriously, get him out of the game. Draw some fouls or something.

Preston makes a three, guards the inbound tightly, gets pushed so the KY guard can get the ball and figures he can guard tightly and gets called for a touch foul in close. It’s this kind of inconsistent refereeing that kills players and that you are taught to avoid as a ref.

BE CONSISTENT!

I hate Jodie Meeks.

once again is very very disappointing

we can start getting some rebounds.

I want to believe this is a turning point for him, and ergo, the team.

that we are only up 3. i would rather not watch E5 and t-will jack up threes. i would, however, like to see us hit the glass a little harder. enough uk offensive rebounds

Overall a decent 1st Half. Solid halfcourt defense, as usual. Excellent FT shooting… don’t know where that came from, but hells yeah! But, lousy rebounding is allowing UK to hang around. Fix that and it could be a blowout. When McGee and Sosa slash down the lane, good things usually happen. More of that + better rebounding = comfortable win. Without improvements (or with a defensive letdown) and it’s anybody’s game.

I’m glad SS sat early. I think E5 was too tired and Swop should have rested him.

Anybody

Earl is playing his typical lazy game…TWill is a ghost, when he’s not turning it over with his moronic shot selections….we suck

True story

by Earl to get the ball to a wide-open T-Will.

I didn’t think I would ever get the opportunity to say that.

I can never understand how this team can’t hold on to big leads.

Earl, Earl

Good Edgar today

NO. It was NOT a good non-call. He gathered the ball and then took two step. This is what we like to call travelling in modern basketball.

The game is within our reach with 4 minutes left. Good shots and good defense will close it out. Cut down on the fouls and increase the ball movement on offense, and continue to get our hands up and move our feet on defense.

I know, I know, it sounds like I’ve got a secret mic in the huddle right now :)

Buy him a steak, flowers, then make sweet sweet love to him!!!!!!!!

Even if it isn’t, I would still marry him.

wish that hadn’t happened. I fear that will be worth about three bad Edgar losses in the BE.

I was afraid i was going to have to disown Jerry Smith for the foul on Meeks, in spite of all his 3s. Cardiac Cards live again…

what a great win for the CARDS and the fans. I don’t think we could have taken a loss to yUK after all we’ve been through lately. I am happy for Edgar, happy for the team and OMG am I happy for the fans…..HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GO CARDS; BEST IN THE STATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was an incredible shot by Sosa. He played out of his gourd today, and Kentucky.

Thanks for making the game interesting for the last 2 minutes, though.

but I made a deal with Beelzebub… you’ll all have to sacrifice your firstborns on a homemade altar within the next 24 hours. If you’re true fans, you’ll make the poor chillins understand why it has to be this way.

I haven’t jumped up and down and cheered like that all season. It’s nice to have a genuine reason to smile and whoop and holler for the Cards!

Great game. Nobly won.

anyone see me in the middle of the court during the celebration?

Edgar Sosa — just amazing

Jerry —back with 3 for 3 on 3’s

we shot 46% on 2’s, 55% on 11 for 20 3’s , and 82% on free throw.

Ball movement was good , except for several ill-advised one-on-two or three’s by Earl in the second half (and his 7 TO’s)

Just a really well-played game by both teams.

More to come

for sosa’s shot going in or me and Big Earl would have still been cryin’!! I didn’t see earl after the game but i hope he was celebrating like everyone else and not too down on himself, even though all those turnovers were ridiculous. He should buy edgar whatever he wants!

Earl just woke up.

post the audio of paul rogers call of sosa’s shot or tell me where i can listen to it at.
