Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Louisville Cardinals, Dec 19, 2009 4:00 PM EST
All right fellas, this is The Bill, and we don't lose The Bill. Except for the one year where we lost The Bill.
Stayin' with the hot hand.

I suspect
that Slaughter may just slaughter us. I’m not sure who stops him from getting inside. And Samardo ain’t stoppin’ him once he gets there sure as I’m sittin’ here. Or well.. standing.. here.

One player won't hurt us if the team is playing solid defense.
My concern is that we will play chase the ball and they will find the open shooter.
My point exactly.
This will be UNLV all over again, except this time we’re at home. Let’s hope we get to “rush the court”. :)
Western is gonna really be a test...
…they match up really well, and have experience as well. I really hope we bring our A game.
This thread is off to a very confusing start

BJ Flynn
Was I hearing things or did Dick Vitale make a BJ Flynn reference early in the 2nd half of the Texas – UNC game?

Didn't hear it, would not be surprised
He spent about 30 seconds talking about Greg Schiano’s mom at one point.

staying hot
We got to stay Cardinal Red HOT!! Keep the wins a coming. This game is a pivotal game for us in the next two weeks before Big East play. So Sosa and Samardo need to have a big game and the 3 point shooters need to give it all and make them.

Dickie V
yeah I heard it loud mouth. Talking about recruiting also. couldn’t recruit chips to be in a Doritos bag.,
"As we strive for excellence never forget what got you there"
He converted a three-point play?
Naturally none of us got to see it.

I've hated Butler since we lost to them in '03.
I hate them now more than ever.

wtf
that looked to me like samsam got body slammed. No call?
by Get_In_My_BELLY_ on Dec 19, 2009 4:14 PM EST reply actions
This is not possible.
Isn’t there some time limit on making one of these calls? WTF.

Wow
One of the worst things I’ve ever seen.

Stuck in the airport, can't watch the game
And yet I think I might be getting better coverage, awesome.

What a joke.
Thanks, ESPN. You guys kick ass.
by cardsinindy2010 on Dec 19, 2009 4:18 PM EST reply actions
I can't hate them.
What other channel can you watch and see sports 24/7? Yeah, they mess up a lot, but their general level of sports knowledge is so far ahead of everybody else it’s not funny. Watching sports on CBS with Verne Linquist involved makes me want to put needles through my ears.
I would love to watch sports 24/7
ESPN has 20 hours of ridiculous commentary, limited to one or two teams/players in every major sport, and 4 hours of sports every day. I want fewer SC reruns, and garbage shows of “journalists” yelling about a game that hasn’t happened yet, and more real matches.
ESPN2 screwed up for anyone else on Insight?
It’s really choppy, both on channel 30 and 509. ESPN360 looks fine
Who besides Larry O'Bannon went to Male High School?
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 19, 2009 4:23 PM EST up reply actions
BC ESPN would use the "Griffith went to the same high school as O'Bannon"
tidbit every single time they did a Cards game from ‘02’-05

The best was the stock skyline shot with the fountain in it
That they showed until like ’03.

Courtside : surprised there are some empty seats...
Letting them play underneath… War going on.
Our traps are proving effective.. Our rebounding still looks a step slow

Anyone else watching the Kentucky game periodically..
.. and continuously thinking that Austin Peay may have the most hood team on the planet?
by whats_a_kragglestick_car on Dec 19, 2009 4:25 PM EST reply actions
Yes, hood.
Like, what’s really hood, bitch? Dave Chappelle. God, pump some life into this forum. It wasn’t a Don Imus-esque type of a hood.

Every time someone sizes Jennings up
His shot is about to be rejected.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 19, 2009 4:29 PM EST reply actions
Jennings
is incredibly athletic for someone his size. I think he could be really dominant in the low post if he wanted it.
by whats_a_kragglestick_car on Dec 19, 2009 4:30 PM EST reply actions
Nice look by Swop.
Samardo is not the only guy who doesn’t like to turn left.

St Pete Bowl with Rutgers is on tonight right? 8pm for you guys out East?
by UL is my hot hot sex on Dec 19, 2009 4:34 PM EST up reply actions
I would do the same if I had NFL network.
So I guess I’ll follow it online and watch the St. Pete bowl.
OT: Anybody else absolutely hate NFL.com/live? I find it atrocious.
Agreed.
I just wish we were knocking down more shots. We’ve never been a good jump shooting team (inside the arc anyway).
It's amazing
Just how much our collective energy dips when Preston goes out.

1-3-1
Is not a good defense for a team with limited playmakers to face. Good timeout.

Yeesh, I go change a diaper...
and we fall apart.

It's a cyclical event.

Streakiest free-throw shooting team ever

At least all these aren't 1 and 1's

Free throws...sheesh
TJ > SS
D Is winning this for us so far

BOOOM`
This is why we are a Defense first team

Capped brilliantly by Jerry punching everybody on the bench.

This is the first time I've seen the Cards play this year
It looks like we have some nice pieces, TJ, PK, Kuric is playin – good Edgar
Siva is made for TV
Buckles looks impressive
and I finally see what everyone is talking about with Swop
How did we have those 2 ugly losses?
This is practically a different team than the one that played those games
What a difference winter break practices can make.
Louisville
we play better when we take naps prior to the game instead of exams
by UL is my hot hot sex on Dec 19, 2009 5:02 PM EST up reply actions
Should've been
Considering the beat downs we’ve had this year and the loss to them last year, I’m happy with 15.
To Lavin for saying "Razzle Dazzle"

Pitino must have lit a fire under these guys
That was a great half. Let’s see if they can keep it going for 40 minutes this time.
Night and Day on rebounding intensity by Samuels

Edgar doesn't do the flail off the screen thing
nearly as well as Jerry.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 19, 2009 5:17 PM EST reply actions
Who is this big guy... and what the hell did he do to Samuels?!?
He’s INTENSE tonight.

Energy off the charts
Who are these guys?

So did you guys know
the Dos Equis guy was homeless before they picked him up to do the commercials?

According to a talent agent I know who works for
Albuquerque Film Studios. Said they use it as an example for how to find talent anywhere.

Was Samardo ineligible for the first semester?

Jerry is jumpin' today
First half— to’s were key
us 4, them 12; had them by 4 bounds
They still shot over 50% on 2’s and 3’s
Our D … It can carry us.
Rebounding — still not any ferocity… But they are letting them bang and we’re winning the scrum
by frankpos on Dec 19, 2009 5:31 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Whew...
was worried about Preston’s hand there.
by Remote Cardinal on Dec 19, 2009 5:33 PM EST reply actions
Edgar's going to hear about that shot.
WKU’s zone is actually doing a good job at keeping us from getting it inside.
same.
I’ve thought he was hurt like 5 times tonight.
by Remote Cardinal on Dec 19, 2009 5:44 PM EST up reply actions
What?
This is the way we should be playing – up 1 or up 30
I think the intensity is what we need
Tennesee down double digits to USC?
hmm…
by Remote Cardinal on Dec 19, 2009 5:46 PM EST reply actions
I think the double oop last game threw off the mojo.
The team used up their oop quota for the month.
Dammit. Preston hobbles off... He's fallen on that hand also at least 3 times
W Ky is cooked
watch for pitino to light up his
brickley
soon…
by frankpos on Dec 19, 2009 5:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Still haven't gotten to see it.
Now that it’s on DVD I’ll get a chance.

Just got the DVD
Gonna watch it Christmas day
It is a Christmas movie, isn’t it?
WOWOWOWOWOWOW
How’s that for above the rim.

LOL, Samuels
was mad at Delk for not passing up that Three.
He wanted another dunk

Press was good tonight
need better 1/2court D.
by Remote Cardinal on Dec 19, 2009 6:04 PM EST up reply actions
I think right now it all needs to be better.
It’s getting lost in translation, but they’ve actually cut into the lead considerably on sloppy defensive play over the last few minutes.
Wow
The Sosa/Jerry reaction to Brickley’s bucket was immaculate.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 19, 2009 6:06 PM EST reply actions
Van Treese is the worst inbounder
of all-time.

wow, Jennings dunks...
how many does he have?
by Remote Cardinal on Dec 19, 2009 6:11 PM EST reply actions
Siva really thought about driving there at the buzzer with no defenders
glad he thought better of it.
