"Meet me in front of the arena underneath the Gorgui statue and I'll give you your ticket." --Things overheard in Louisville in 2028
Siva Haircut + Dunking Cardinal Bird Undershirt = Blowout wins over teams with four NBA players.
Peyton Siva Sr. has serious competition in the form of Momaw Justice:
Pitino postgame:
Russ is happy, Peyton's happy, I'm happy, you're happy.
Easily the most fun I've had at a game this year, and I don't think there's any question that this is the best we've all felt in the wake of a game since last season.
Full recap tomorrow, high-fives all around, dreams of Chane threes, Swop and-ones, Kyle dunks, Siva passes, Gorgui steals and Russ tights for all.

Perspective on our outlook on our team
We were all upset and wavering a month ago. I’ll take that again before I step in a UConn fans shoes.
Let me put it this way
I took my girlfriend to her third basketball game ever for this game. I’m talking high school, grade school, your uncle’s rec league, she has seen 2 games prior to this one her entire life. Despite this, she was jumping around, high-fiving everyone in reach and screaming her lungs out to the point she actually lost her voice. She can’t tell Denny Crum from Joe Shmoe, but she recognizes amazing performances, no matter the medium. Ladies and gentlemen, I love Louisville sports precisely for nights like tonight and I do believe I have found another convert.
That’s how awesome this game was.
GO CARDS!

You're goddamn lucky you picked the UConn game
Always glad to have another U of L fan in the family. Much better than dating a UK fan.

Lucky or good?
But yes, it is much nicer dating a Louisville girl, I have to say.

She sounds like a real keeper. Congrats, man.

When I was in my twenties, I tried for two months to get a date with this one girl
and finally got her to say yes by asking her to a UofL game. She stalled until half an hour before the game and then said she couldn’t make it. I never called her again.

I can't recall the last time the Cards so thoroughly demoralized an opponent
It got to the point where you almost felt sorry for UConn.
Almost.

Hard to feel sorry for a team
when their players are screaming at the fans while they head towards the bench during timeouts during the first half.

“Any time you play Rick’s teams, that 2-3 matchup [zone] or whatever you want to call it, it’s always a good defense. Quite honestly, I’m not convinced it’s as good as it usually is. I thought it was more our offense than it was their defense.”
Fuck you, George Blaney.

Defense has been the problem all year

fortunately all our opponents have "off nights" on offense

Good win for UL, hell of a beat down.
But what the hell has happend to Uconn? I didn’t watch the game, but have those guys just gave up? If I am correct, it wasn’t that long ago they were ranked in the top 15 or top 10. They look like they are headed for the NIT.
Boatright's mom had a lot to do with that.

I was sitting about the same distance from the floor as her, a couple of sections towards mid court
And she was running her mouth the whole time. Even down by 30, she was still yapping away. When the student section starting chanting,“you’re a cheater” when Ryan was at the free throw line, she got a little heated to say the least
we were wondering
what the students were yelling at those 2 UConn people behind the bench..

Did they really play a full 40 minutes, the last 20 minutes seemed to go so quickly?
I love how CRP is giving Angel the same treatment he gave Russ at the beginning of the year; we are developing two players who have no conscience about shooting, and that is a good thing.
Big ups to the cards tonight.
We played flat out awesome. That is exactly what Pitino ball is all about. The execution in the second half, for the most part, was flawless. A beautiful thing to watch. Obviously we cant play that great all the time, but if we can do it with more consistency, continue improving, and get healthy (WB,SVT)… Watch the fk out

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
The REAL CARDS have come back to the YUM CENTER!!!!!
Lets keep this up all the way into March!!!!
Card nation needed a win like this!
GO CARDS!!!
Gorgui
could have his own highlight reel. Damn Dieng Dominated the Huskies. I do believe i seen Dieng doing some choregraphed hand shaking with teammates and he looked really mad on some rebounds too. Mad Dieng scares the hell out of me!!!
I finally joined this forum...
…because I just wanted to be able to say “I can not wait for the VillenHD video.”

I must disagree
While I’m of course waiting with bated breath like everyone else, this one needs to be a masterpiece. Villen can take all the time Villen needs, if you ask me.
Had some decent tickets offered to me around 5pm yesterday but had already made up my mind that I needed to study for a big test this week
I gave them to my Fiance and her friend. I was so freaking jealous.
Also,… I’m not afraid to say it. I have to fight off tears of joy every time Swop has a good moment, and there were several of them last night. So awesome.

I get the tears so much.
Anytime anything Gorgui. Anytime Peyton be’s baby or hits 3s. Anytime Swop hits anything. Every time I see Rick.

Really happy for Swop last night
He takes a lot of grief, but he was developing into a solid player before the injury after his sophomore year. He does have skills (see the left-handed hook), but he obviously lacks somewhat in the athleticism/strength department.
I expect to see Swop shoot more consistently from 15-18 feet as he continues to get back into game shape. That should be a nice boost down the stretch.
