Does anyone know if the game is being broadcast anywhere other than Versus, which I conveniently do not subscribe to?
by Get_In_My_BELLY_ on Nov 28, 2009 3:37 PM EST reply actions
You'll probably have to find a stream
someone will post it in the thread. Do you have directv, or just didn’t want to watch Sports Soup?
I have
Insight. I haven’t gotten around to ordering any additional channels, but i definately want to get ESPNU seeing as the cards play four games on it this season.

FIRST GAME ON VERSUS
And naturally the audio cuts out.

Vegas
Fans showed up for this one, never seen lines for tickets this long at unlv.

They knock the shit out of us on defense
And then they call that.

I guess...
…this is what teams feel like when they play us….these guys are hacking the crap out of us.
All of them are in person

I've been to a dozen games here
Never heard or seen a crowd like this. Great atmosphere and their pressure on D is amazing so far. 1st half will be close but I trust Rick to adjust in 2nd half. Unlv goes 10 deep this yr btw.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 4:25 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
how deep is UNLV?
If they aren’t that deep, I don’t think they can maintain this energy

Late Whistles too
This game is going to suck, I can feel it.

He's certainly not getting any help from the men in stripes.
I’m extra pissed off since my cable signal is jacked up on only ONE station Vs. HD. So I’m having to watch this POS in Standard def.

Still early...
….good road game.
Our team still has a ways to go figure out what kind of team we are going to be.
Crowd came to play today
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 4:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions

This team beat our be champs at the hall
Without their best player wink adams
We couldn’t hit shots though on NYE

At least
this game is not a scoring drought so far like last year’s game

My wife says I'm crazy....
…but doesn’t it seem like teams with that guy who never makes 3s always makes them against us?
he should have stopped and gone up with it
he’s not a finger roll type of guy

on a reatedb topic
Anyone else notice how when we play a team, their guys all have career shooting days
Wow...
….those guys have obviously practiced the alley-oop on the random bounce out of bounds save play.
I think this game is going too fast
for the refs to keep up.

Mad mad mad house.
I didn’t know they had this many people in LV let alone college BB crazies

Sam Sam not his best half

And the closet 3 second call.
Most inconsistent call in the game.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 4:46 PM EST reply actions
My relationship with Pitino
I hate him in November and December because he makes me attend App State and Morgan State games, then has me turn around and watch us struggle against lesser talent.
I love him in January and Februaury because we put it all together and look unstoppable.
I apologize and make excuses for him in March because something falls apart.
When will the trend end?
We look completely intimidated
No reason Samardo should still be in the game.
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 28, 2009 4:47 PM EST reply actions
Siva was playing a little too fast there
Buckles is essentially a non factor on offense so far. His d has been solid
I'mnot worried if we lose today
It’s a long season, these guys shouldn’t be under any illusions. If we need to get better, it’s better to learn that now than in the Big East.
yeah
But when do we stop making excuses for nov disappointments
???????????
Take a look at some of the truly negn posts
Why should we need excuses for early losses?
Do they award the national championship in November? Jesus.
I think it feels that way because we don't trust this team yet
Lots of new players, different chemistry.
Great look inside by marra to rock
Promising

It's definitely Edgar
And he knows it. Just needs experience executing that leadership

TJ
Let’s start the 2nd half
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 4:55 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Preston
Thumb is now taped, sitting on end of bench
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 4:58 PM EST via mobile reply actions
A stop there would have broke the crowd
Let’s hope the hot dogs slow up the crowd a bit at the half.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 5:00 PM EST up reply actions
Which is the only reason this will be a good day...
even if we go on to lose.
Though I suspect we make some good adjustments at half.
by CardinalDude on Nov 28, 2009 5:00 PM EST up reply actions
Question
What is up with Portland? Are they actually good? I didn’t know there was a Portland University before the other day
Why aren't we coming in with the same gameplan
that we have had all year. Rush teams on their offensive possesions while making the extra pass on ours? I know we don’t have a lot of experience on the floor, but Jerry Smith needs to hop the next flight home, go to his dorm room and look under his bed for the Jerry from 2 and 3 years ago. What is going on with him?
Coach?
So whos the new football Coach?
Any thoughts?
from Jurich's presser
It sounds like somebody who currently has a job……not fulmer or tuberville

Really didn't like
The no one standing up at the end of the half. We look totally lost .
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 28, 2009 5:02 PM EST reply actions
We don't play well against good man-to-man defense teams early in the season
See Minnesota game last year
3 point shooting and missing open/contested layups
I sound like a broken record, but it seems like those things are correctable or at least will go down at some point.
Hard to beat anyone shooting 22% from 3.
If there's two things Ellis Myles knows
It’s rebounding and not jumping very high…and neither of those are applicable to football.
My vote is with Strong
Crowd just drinking no eating
Besides that it feels like freedom hall except the seats are on top of the court.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 5:05 PM EST via mobile reply actions
when the whole team tweeted about going to a magic show last nite
Is this exactly what came into my mind
When rick’s teams lose, they lose ugly (see: @ notre dame last year)
they all went to a magic show?
our team is lame
Samuels zero rebounds in 1st half
We look like a team with a long way too go if we are going to be competitive in the Big East.
by RB in Bardstown on Nov 28, 2009 5:06 PM EST reply actions
lucky bounces all went their way, most calls their way
it could have been worse. will be a different second half
our black uniforms
need to be burned. BURNED.
C'mon Cards
Let’s get it going!

Amazingly we are out rebounding them
16-14 and 7-4 on the offensive glass.
However, UNLV has 10 assists. Not a good stat with our usual defensive presence.
Finally, our FT% is 44%, Shooting, 41%, From 3, 22%. Going to need to shoot better 2nd half.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 5:11 PM EST reply actions
This half...
…is why Pitino scheduled this game. I’d rather have a half like that in November in Nevada than in Lexington in January.
Was a great game to watch there for awhile, fast pace and both teams playing hard.
Hope Preston is ok.
Swopshire, Jared
Only been listening on radio for last 8 minutes but have not heard the name Swopshire. Can someone update me?
he's been getting beat on defense
and isn’t fast enough to make a difference. Buckles has been playing instead, and doing well on D
DocCardsFan
The 'Ville, KY
My two cents
(a) Free throw shooting = achilles heal yet again
(b) No offensive continuity – - Samardo lost out there. In his defense, he starts each set at the top of the key, which does him no favors. We also miss him if and when he is open
© Too many easy pts given up defensively
(d) If Samardo misses another shot right at the rim, I am going to call Kimbo Slice to toughen him up
Beer lines aren't long
Bathroom lines are. Not impressed, unlv fans.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 5:13 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Please, please put SS and TJ in together
Tell him, Ralph. Please.
OK, Preston can't use his right hand at all
Why in the world is he in the game?
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 28, 2009 5:17 PM EST reply actions
Hope that Swop doesn't become the new Brandon Jenkins
If we played a ho-hum game in December, BJ was a beast. Any important game, he was MIA.
jerry smith is not good at dribble penetration
just b/c you’re a captain, it doesn’t change what you do and don’t do well
Not Samardo's Day?
Why does that sentence exist in the world. The man is blessed with a body to dominate competition. Wake up SS
Samuels really needs to not be in there.
He always tries to switch on the screen, and that always leads to bad things.
Our front line better step it up over the next month
Or it’s gonna get ugly in Rupp.
I'll be honest with you...
We’re not looking good, but I really don’t think UK is much better. I’m more worried about Big East play.
We haven't looked this bad in a long, long time
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 28, 2009 5:27 PM EST reply actions
Poor shooting...
..and lack of rebounding.
It’s a long season and a young team, have to figure out an identity.
On balance, a great day for UofL sports.
Samuels needs to be benched, permanently
Let Jennings get in there and continue to develop. Samuels is going backwards.

Implosion
See everyone next month. It’s not the Pitino era unless we lose in November. Deep breaths.
Free throws
For Rick having ripped Memphis State a few years back for not being able to shoot free throws, we sure as hell can’t hit them at all.
Rock impressive on glass

but the fact he called it goaltending when it was on offense

So our 3 point specialist has hit....
1 so far this season?
by CardinalDude on Nov 28, 2009 5:38 PM EST up reply actions
He did foul hard.
I don’t understand how that went in. Jennings’ hands were all over that ball and his arms.
Dunno which one you watched, but...
I didn’t see any contact after the initial. He let him shoot after the contact. If you know you’re going to foul, finish the foul.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 5:40 PM EST up reply actions
We look so lost on defense
Especially on the interior.
by Cool Hand Cards on Nov 28, 2009 5:38 PM EST reply actions
We played some man in the first half...
We just stink today.
by CardinalDude on Nov 28, 2009 5:39 PM EST up reply actions
The defenciencies in defense are very similar to the WKU game last year.
No presence in the middle with our zone. Inability to get out on shooters in the zone. Going under the screens at the topof the zone. God our zone looks bad without T and E5.
Marra: The New Will Scott
Said it before, but he just keeps reminding me. Supposedly an outstanding shooter in practice. He comes in the game…….. * crickets *.

He's the only one.
If we’re going to go 3 guard, at least one of them needs to be able to rebound, and so far that’s not happening.
We lose so many rebounds because we are no where near the ball.
by CardinalDude on Nov 28, 2009 5:43 PM EST up reply actions
That too
But I’ve noticed our own guys ripping the ball away from each other and losing it out of bounds a lot

UNLV has given us MANY chanes to get back in this
and we’ve blown almost every one of them.

I think Buckles is going to be good
he’s not yet, but give him a few years.
by Dave from Louisville on Nov 28, 2009 5:43 PM EST reply actions
Samuels is a piss poor rebounder
and rebounding is mostly about desire

Siva is passionately yelling at the guys on every break
Including our senior capt Jerry smith. Glad someone cares.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 5:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Give him rest right before the TV timeout...
…like Jordan, T-Will and Earl last year.
Seriously though I have no idea. It seems like as soon as the comments praise someone he gets taken out.
Yes
Buckles head was above the rim on that rebound
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 5:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Unlv finally stopped making shots
And we started making the extra pass
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 28, 2009 5:52 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Preston, if you don't want anyone to hit your wrist
I’d advise you not sit next to Jerry.

Better chance to hit a three...Jerry or Marra?
by Cool Hand Cards on Nov 28, 2009 6:14 PM EST reply actions
Jerry...
….not going to say he lost the game on his own, but he had a chance to win it for us and missed.
In his defense, he had a kid this week.
It's only November, and I've said this in November before
But I hope I don’t have to watch a season of that..

Classless?
I’ve heard that chant in Freedom Hall before, and multiple times in Papa John’s. Look at the rankings and how they played, they’re overrated.
Yeah, I'm really not happy with them now.
Two seasons in a row, now they’re chanting overrated and storming the court after beating an “overrated” team two years after getting blown out in that very arena.
I smell a bitter rivalry.
yeah, it's like
WE SUCK, BUT WE BEAT YOU! HAHA…oh wait.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 6:18 PM EST up reply actions
Love the overrated chant.
Good thing you feel like you beat an overrated team. I guess you still suck then.
And the stupid ass UNLV fans
chanting overrated. Demeaning their own victory by suggesting they had to bring their best effort to beat an overrated team. Dumbasses.

minus the ass-hattery at the end there
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 28, 2009 6:22 PM EST up reply actions
The last time we stormed the field was WVU 2006.
Anybody remember the last time we stormed the court?
I guess what I’m getting at is that we seem to have pretty level-headed fans.
Can't we have good things happen in both programs on the same day?
I think there’s a cosmic law against it.
I will promote no moral victories (trust me, I'm no Steve Kragthorpe).....
but im proud of the comeback…hostile crowd and tough UNLV team…this was their Super Bowl and we halfway stood up to the challenge without Preston in the 2nd half or any help from Jerry..get those two going and make Mardo a little more serviceable on both ends of the court and we got something special in the works
Also, invaluable experience for Marra, Siva, and Buckles. Gotta play with intensity & intelligence when you put on a uniform with Louisville across the front of it.
to say the least
There’s still a looong laundry list of improvements that need to be made before January. I just hope this was enough of a road experience to get that ball a’rollin.
BTW...WTF happened to Jerry Smith?
He has become like William “Loser” Gay was in football…good enough to start…not good enough to win it all.
And yes, I know Wlliam Gay is starting for the Steelers. What I also know is that he was instrumental (offsides on a missed field goal) in helping Rutger’s with the win that ruined our perfect season.
