tcjkbt Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 The Cardinals win at home to go to 3-1 in conference play. Jordan Nwora scored 32 points.
newarkcatholicfan Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I saw this score, while watching the Campbell game. I did not think this one would this close. Boston College must be tougher than I thought.
TheDeuce Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Louisville was up 23 in the second half and let off the gas. Saturday at GT is a big one.

Yes, I was afraid Coach Mack had made a mistake by subbing too early and then sticking with the subs instead of bringing the starters back in. But all's well that ends well, I guess. I'm sure he had his reasons. Shout-out to Sutton for the late hustle rebound he got off his deep miss. A very important play.

I like Mack's philosophy on not quickly bailing his team out with a timeout when the other team is surging. He likes to let them play through it, and I think that makes them stronger in the long run. So far, there hasn't been a time that I remember thinking he let it go too long. The Sutton rebound was a huge play. Love that kid. He's the best player on the team, IMO.
Getslow Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Louisville was up 23 in the second half and let off the gas. Saturday at GT is a big one. Lots of big swings in this one. Something of a pattern. Down 15 in the first half. Back to take a 10 point halftime lead. Get up by 23 in the second. Let BC get back to within 5. Frustrating at times.

jpa2825 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Mack is figuring out who he can count on and for what. Early season, I praised the depth of this squad and pointed out there wasn't a huge separation among the players. That has changed. 1 & 2 - Fore and Cunningham getting run. McMahon playing when you need offensive spurt (although he only played 10 minutes last night and didn't score) and can afford to do without Fore's defense (and live with his defensive shortcomings). Perry is lost in the shuffle. Not sure his decisionmaking can be trusted and his offense is inconsistent. Defense is usually solid. 3 & 4 - Sutton & Nwora are studs and will play as many meaningful minutes as they can. King continues to be an enigma. The +/- for him, McMahon and Perry have to be awful from last night. Take what you can get from him, but he isn't earning any additional playing time. 5 - Williams and Enoch are both progressing well and complement each other. Williams has stepped up defensive and rebounding effort but still takes some ill-advised shots. Enoch is learning to aggressively jump the high screen and get back to his man. His post game is also developing. They both got manhandled by UK so I'd say they are still unproven against size and length. Agau has gone from playing meaningful minutes to spot duty or mop up time. Not surprising. Seems like a good experienced voice in the locker room.

Does it ever - v UNC (w/ revenge on their mind); @ VaTech; @ FSU & v Duke. Being at .500 now (I always put the 2 losses to UVa in the record once conference play starts) is where they should be - albeit with the Pitt and UNC games reversed - and will get them a NCAA birth if they can keep it at .500 in conference (given their ridiculous SOS).

Thought Cunningham did a poor job for the most part in bringing the ball up against the BC pressure late....dribbled into traps. McMahon did not so well, either, IMO. Has anyone heard how severe his injury is?
