Shockers leading 43-32 with a little over 14:00 left.

 

I'm surprised that Louisville is getting handled this bad right now.

The Cards seem to be letting the Shockers dictate this game.

 

Didn't really like that 4th foul call on Dieng...seemed weak.

Cards have gotten two huge threes following missed front end of 1 and 1s for Wichita State. Theoretically as much as a 10 point swing there. Shockers have an advantage being in the bonus this early in the game, but have blown it so far. Fouls are hurting UL with Dieng saddled with 4 and Smith and Blackshear with 3 apiece.

Can someone tell me why an official's timeout couldn't be expanded into the media timeout that could've occurred at the same time? One of my biggest gripes with sports in general are quick commercial breaks like that. It's not as frequently bad as football where they'll go to commercial after a score, come back for the kickoff, and go again, but it's irritating that we sat through a break, came back for 11 seconds, and then went right back for a couple of minutes again.

Behanan, a 53% free throw shooter, has hit some crucial free throws. 4/4 tonight.

These refs have to start doing a better job against Wichita State's time wasting after UL baskets. They let 9 seconds go off the clock with the Shockers just staring at the ball on the ground on the baseline. It's not that I blame Wichita State, I blame the ref who's not forcing that issue. Watch them, they do it after almost (or maybe not almost) every basket.

I noticed it as well. Really smart of the Shockers but can't believe the officials weren't doing anything about it.

That could be a flagrant foul on UL on that loose ball.

Cardinal pressure is finally getting to the Shockers. They've doubled their turnover number for the game in the last 4 minutes or so.

Double foul?

I guess so, a tackle and a smack in the face.

Double foul?

 

Baker was fouled at least twice.

Just in case there's anyone reading this that doesn't know the score, 60 all with just over 3 minutes left to go. Cards ball, they've called timeout.

 

Wichita State up to 9 turnovers now. They had 4 early in the first half, none for forever, and then have gone a bit to pieces here.

Double foul?

 

I thought it was the right call.

Good to see Behanan making shots that aren't dunks. All of them huge baskets.
