1.  There were hardly ANY UofL fans at the game.  Maybe 100 total?  By far the fewest I have ever seen at a weekend away game and a far cry from the near-50% of the fans at the Depaul game last month.  I guess the scalpers charging $200 for good seats and $50 for the worst seats in the house had something to say about the ticket demand.
2.  It seems cliched, but that was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.  There wasnt one single awful decision (ie, the BG/Buffalo result) but a compilation of about 25 bad calls (3 of Padgett's fouls and those AWFUL charging calls) and non-calls (how many times did Fitzgerald travel during the game??).  
3.  It's amazing how different UofL is when Twill doesnt chuck 3s.  UofL doesn't have any shooters (apologies to Jerry Smith) that "should" make the 3 if they are wide open (like Gaines, Garcia and Dean in the past) so they shouldn't be shooting 28 3's per game.  They have played more like Georgetown by shooting around 13 3's which is a perfect number for this team.  Twill still cannot finish around the basket, though.  He gets very vertical but can't convert.  Pitino should show him footage of Garcia getting to the rim and contorting his body to convert nearly 100% of his within 4' shots.
4.  Here's a thought:  it depends on the opponent, but IMAGINE a lineup with Padgett AND Caracter on the court at the same time.  Last night, versus a very good defender in Barro, DP and DC were absolutely unstoppable.  Unstoppable.  As long as the opponent's power forward isnt a 3-point shooter, I think UofL could dominate teams with DC and DP both in the game.

The mark of a good team is one that can overcome when "they" are obviously out the get you, and that's what this bunch did.  I was one of those fair-weather guys who was quick to jump down Pitino's throat earlier in the year and boy, was I wrong.  The goodness he showed in bringing Ellis Myles back is all that needs to be said. That was a classy thing to do, and it's obviously helping with the youngun' too.
