I gotta miss this game

Job interview dinner. I would suggest that we go to a sports bar, but any potential employer who would hire me after seeing how I act during UL games is a person I wouldn’t want to work for.

My wife and I had our second date at a UofL game

Before it started I apologized in advance for my behavior. She told me a year or two later that she thought that was really weird but in the middle of the second half she completely understood.

Interestingly enough some where around year four she became worse than me.

I posted this on another thread, but since Gorgui is expected to play, I thought it would be ok to re-post.

somewhere around the team meeting...

I started avoiding the open threads so that I could really focus on the game. It seems to be working — both for me and for superstition/karma — so I don’t want to change anything!

But I wanted to pop on here beforehand to give some love to all of y’all… Go CC! Go Cards.

Carolina, whatever it is you are doing to be totally dialed into the cards, i beg you to keep it up.

And to the extent that it is limited to free throws, can you expand its application to other parts of the game? If uofL was playing well when I was a kid in the 80’s, I would freeze perfectly still no matter what until it was clear that the run was over. Needless to say, I made a lot of good things happen for us in the 80’s and I recognize good work when I see it. Tonight was a master stroke, Carolina. Keep up the good work.

Holy Toledo. He’s guarding him perpendicularly.

by TheStranger on Feb 6, 2012 7:38 PM EST reply actions  

I've only been able to watch 2-3 games since New Years

But what I have noticed, more this game than any other, is that Siva is back. He has that extra gear that he was missing all Fall. It more obvious than ever on that dunk there. This could be huge for our season.

by indianacardfan on Feb 6, 2012 7:39 PM EST reply actions  

Nice to see peyton getting some assists.

He had so many great passes last game and the shots just wouldnt fall

don't know if folks mentioned this above

but I was really impressed by Chane’s perimeter defense on several possessions.

UConn’s guards thought they could get by our big man on the wing, but he moved his feet and anticipated well. Never thought I’d be able to say THAT about Chane back in November/December!

Peyton

Peyton refuses to finish when he goes in amongst the trees. He ALWAYS looks to dish & they won’t respect him. He needs to just put up the shot. Our rebounders are right there to clean it up! FINISH!

just checked the box score

what’s weird is we’re actually out rebounding them. 7 for Chane, 6 for Kyle, 4 for CS5. But only 1 for Gorgs.

yep

I think that’s why it seemed like they were outrebounding us… Because on a couple possessions, we missed a box-out or Gorgs got pushed around

it seems like we're getting pounded inside

maybe it’s the non calls that make it look that way
