I absolutely agree with this, it clearly beats the 40+ called fouls games we are too used to seeing, but I was wondering this.............
did anyone else think that, especially in the first half, that Chane was stripped of the ball a lot when there were a lot of hands and arms reaching in and swatting at the ball. With all those arms moving, there is always some contact and I know the Big East refs tend to call that a lot. Of course, I am just going by the tv angle so it might not have looked so bad in person.
Anyone else see it that way? And again, I would rather see those not get called as much, as long as it goes both ways.

Anyone know who picked Siva up at the 2min mark?
Also is Denny Crum’s signature the equivalent to Kyle’s Korner for Angel?
really speaks volumes when neither of those players dunked, but the whole team felt like hugging it out.
by Justin Gingey Smith on Feb 7, 2012 11:39 AM EST up reply actions
It is all because of Russ
Once he showed even Rick is huggable everyone got on the hugging bandwagon
Hahaha

This was awesome to hear on the TV.
Crowd was LOUD. ESPN guys (Sean, Bill, Jay) spoke very highly of the atmosphere in the first half. Second half, they were beside themselves at how rocking the Yum! was.

I desperately want to see the Villen vid because of that crew!
I was at the game and wouldn’t trade it, but I’ve gotta hear what those guys had to say. Nothing beats Raff when the house is rockin’.
If we were UK
and kept our starters in until 15 seconds to go we could have won by 40. Did anyone think after the Providence game that we would beat anyone like that?
I've been a UofL fan for 40+ years
and I don’t think I’ve ever seen us beat anyone like that. I’ve seen dominating wins, but I’ve never seen a team so demoralized. One thing that has bothered me about this team heretofore was their lack of killer instinct. Last night that was decidedly not an issue. They got UConn down and stomped on their throats.

It's been especially obvious this year
that we haven’t been able to step on the other team’s throats. I feel like there are so many teams this year that we beat by 8-12 points that we should have beat by 15-20. I hope that changes now.
Jeff Goodman is trying to put his foot in his mouth, but Gorgui keeps blocking it.

I say the CS5 dunk against Rutgers awaked the killer instinct!
I know it did that for me: awesome Chris!

I remember when a top ten ranked Kansas came into Freedom Hall in the early seventies
and I was sitting just behind Henry Bacon’s parents as the Cards (Bacon, Bill Bulter, Al Vilcheck, {was Jim Price on that team?}), when up by 6 at the half, and added 6 more to win by twelve; we controlled the game all the way in a tough one with plenty of easy break out baskets too. The favorite game I ever attended!
Btw, the comeback last year ranks mighty high in Cardinal lore for me too, awesome display!
by Unseld2Beard on Feb 7, 2012 11:39 AM EST up reply actions
It was such a convincing victory that years later I was certain we had won by 20 + 20
Had to look it up to correct my enthusiasm.

After the Providence game, it didn't look like we were going to beat anybody at all, much less like this.
Great to see them play so well. And at just the right time.
by Carolina Cardinal on Feb 7, 2012 11:12 AM EST up reply actions
This is why Coach Pitino
Says that someone didn’t play well when they don’t play like this. We are all like “WTF I’M SO TIRED OF PITINO SPEAK HE’S OVER THE HILL IS HE CRAZY?! THIS IS WHY THIS TEAM IS PLAYING LIKE THIS HOW CAN HE PUT THEM DOWN LIKE THAT?!!?!?” But he knows and can see what these players were capable of and he knows their potential, anything less causes him to be disappointed and critical.
life is just so good. hold on to this one, everybody. that was a once in a season BEATdown of a good team.
by Justin Gingey Smith on Feb 7, 2012 11:26 AM EST reply actions
I have a dream....
That we beatdown WVU this weekend & send them f’n packin’ out of the Big East formally!!

Some great video interviews from ESPN680 Louisville after the game. Kyle, Chris, Russ, Gorgui
Side note: I could listen to Gorgui talk about “team”/ “helping the team win”/ and in general defer from himself,….. all day long.

Still lobbying for the Yum Center announcer (I really should know his name) to call it a
THREEEEEEEhanan!!
I. CANT. STAND. HIM!
i miss John Tong each & every game. “Goooooal By LaBradford!!”
RIP John Tong
Who, by the way, does NOT have a Wikipedia page created. A definite tragedy.

Wikipedia frowns on “original research.” Got to find references, online or otherwise.

World famous Freedom Hall for the thrill and excitement of college basketball at its finest.
Steps called.
Side note: I knew John while I was married the first time. I ended up with a second wife but John was truly old school. He always called her by my first wife’s name.
Tong was a legend.
Moth is still awesome though. He’s extremely good compared to the rest of the country. The “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” is his shtick and I happen to like it.

When Im at home I get embarrassed by his "style"...
But let me say this, when I’m AT the game, I feel just as pumped as any other fan (who doesn’t remember JT).

King Kuric Rebounding
with 3 UCONN players around him was one of the many impressive moments for me.

my thoughts....
Jay Bilas talking shit to start looking unimpressed. everyone seeming bored.
By the end they were just astonished.
Bilas' swag tweet after the game was classic Bilas though.
Guy is smart, but appropriately cocky for it.

That guy in the white midway up section 101
His reaction to Kyles dunk. That’s the kind of fan we need at ever game.
You said it. He really has a problem, either with us, Pitino, the university, something.
His comments were very unprofessional. Everyone has a right to have an opinion, but he is over the line with the vitriol of his derisive personal attacks on Siva and the team.
by Carolina Cardinal on Feb 7, 2012 1:07 PM EST up reply actions
I couldn't hear any of them much in the second half because the crowd was so fucking loud....
thanks crowd
Digger was only spouting shit at the break.
Sean, Jay and Bill are the trio of awesome for game calls. They are fair, knowledgeable and not nearly as annoying as anyone else.
by Remote Cardinal on Feb 7, 2012 1:12 PM EST up reply actions
Absolutely agree. And Bilas is the best at calling out an official for a poor call, without being derisive about it.
He is knowledgeable and consistent. And nothing is off the table. He is very good.

You should follow him on twitter, dude is a just as insightful and also surprisingly hilarious

Digger needs an anal-cranial inversion
His head is where his ass should be and vice versa.
Basically tried to merge two or three knocks at Louisville into one statement and failed miserably.
Paraphrase:
Reece and Hubert opened the halftime break with a few comments on how the defenses of both teams were playing well and also commented on the quickness of both Siva and Boatwright. Then out of nowhere…
Digger: “you can’t start 5-21 and call yourself a good team. UConn goes up 3 then Louisville decides to play.. that’s great.. for a guy [Siva] who’s supposed to be the new…”
Hubert: “What?”
Digger: “Kemba”
Hubert: “Peyton Siva’s game is like Kemba’s game. He just needs more confidence in that mid-range jump shot. They [the Cardinals] need to run that high screen a little lower so when he comes off the ball screen, he’s got a 15 footer rather than a 20 footer.”
Digger: “Eeer..um..[RAGE I HATE LOUISVILLE AND THE FOUR CORNER’S OFFENSE IS THE BOMB!] Siva is not great at finishing at the rim.”
Hubert: “Siva certainly knows how to finish, he burnt UConn last year. I think his confidence is off and that’s why he’s passing every time he gets in the lane. He needs to be a threat to score as well.”
Reece: “Well, Siva’s certainly doing well with distributing the ball to the wing. He’s got rattles of [Siva’s Assists and other stats at the half]”

Don't lie.
You get a little bit of an erection when you watch Kuric throw down.
Disco Dieng is the man!

Won't be quick, I'm thinking
Gonna take some effort to boil that down to highlights. Decisions about which awesome plays to leave out, etc. – or else the time to edit a 30-minute highlight video.
