March 12, 201511 yr This one is tough to take. Extremely poor second half from Louisville. Rozier was poor. Harrell had no service at all. Louisville's first postseason loss to a team other than Kentucky since 2011.
March 12, 201511 yr Didn't realize they were playing this afternoon. They need to let me stream games at work.
March 12, 201511 yr Snider looked "nervous" or "rushed" for the 1st time today. Entitled to that as a FR PG playing in the ACC tourney without much regular season experience. Onuaku & Mathiang provide nothing at the 5 as usual. Gill was horrid (including 0-2 from FT line) in limited play. Bad execution & decisions. Rozier was good for 30 mins but did not finish. Harrell did what he could when he got the ball. Didn't get the ball enough. Have to play inside / outside. Blackshear played reasonably well overall. Needs to step up in the tourney (yeah, me and Deuce are a broken record here). How far they go will be determined by matchups. If they get 2 teams that haven't seen Syracuse or UofL's matchup zone much, they could get to the 2nd weekend. That would be a success with this group.
March 12, 201511 yr Author ^ With Duke, UVa, and Notre Dame now all but assured of finishing higher, Louisville's chances of being sent out West have actually improved and frankly, that's almost preferred at this point.
March 12, 201511 yr I thought UNC looked ripe for the taking today...missed the end of the game and was shocked at the spread. Then watched it and realized UNC hit FT's while UL missed some bombs...made score look much worse than it was. Pititno Quote on Blackshear was rough.
March 12, 201511 yr Author Yeah send us out west. At least then we know we won't be in UK's bracket. :lol2: The only team Louisville's lost to in the postseason in four years before today. Three straight league titles and a national title in 2013... ugh.

Then watched it and realized UNC hit FT's while UL missed some bombs...made score look much worse than it was. Pititno Quote on Blackshear was rough. Didn't see that. What did he say on Blackshear. Thought he played as well as could possibly be expected today. Rozier was absolutely awful in the second half.
March 12, 201511 yr Didn't see that. What did he say on Blackshear. Thought he played as well as could possibly be expected today. Rozier was absolutely awful in the second half. It was an old quote the TV guys repeated...Pitino said that "Blackshear had improved less since coming there than any player he had coached" or something to that end.
March 12, 201511 yr Author It was an old quote the TV guys repeated...Pitino said that "Blackshear had improved less since coming there than any player he had coached" or something to that end. I thought he did really well today. Can't ask a lot more of Wayne. Rozier and Harrell were the problem in the second half.
March 12, 201511 yr I thought he did really well today. Can't ask a lot more of Wayne. Rozier and Harrell were the problem in the second half. That's what the announcers said right after they mentioned the quote, said it may have lit a fire under him.
March 12, 201511 yr Louisville's chances of being sent out West have actually improved and frankly, that's almost preferred at this point. Would be good for them if they went out west IMO.
March 12, 201511 yr I hate UNC, but this puts them one step closer to playing Duke again, also I hate UNC.
March 12, 201511 yr This one is tough to take. Extremely poor second half from Louisville. Rozier was poor. Harrell had no service at all. Louisville's first postseason loss to a team other than Kentucky since 2011. Was there ever any doubt my Heels would win?:idunno: Come on now Getslow. All is right in the universe.
