December 16, 200619 yr It's difficult to trap a 6'5''+ point guard when he can just throw it over the top. The trap was effective, but whoever was in the middle of the press did a very poor job. Louisville did not rotate well at all. Regarding Louisville's shooting woes. You can credit Kentucky's D all you want, but when the Cards are getting wide open looks is that really the defense? Simply put, Louisville stunk today & Kentucky benefitted. Had the Cards shot the ball a little bit better (or even had 1 guy shoot well), then I feel like this board could have a much different tone. And that's what makes me nervous. OTS will fix it. :thumb:

December 16, 200619 yr UL fans! where are the Tubby bashers and the Sheray haters. They'll be on when they look through the stats and can find something to complain about. :thumb:
December 16, 200619 yr Porter ran the offense the best today. Louisville's shooting can't be put into words, it was that bad. And CC is right... many of those were open looks. I was in shock on the two fouls Morris was called for in the second half. Caracter is a foul waiting to happen, he had a couple no-calls on him that could very well have been called. The Frosh were big today as was Woo. Thomas' jumper towards the end was also very key. All in all, I'll definitely take it.

And that's what makes me nervous. Even if they had hit, say 3 more 3s they wouldnt score 60 points. I think we played pretty good defense. Not as good as the score shows, but it was still pretty good. We did a good job protecting the paint I thought. Our offense wasnt very good. Which is to be excpected somewhat without Morris for most of the game. That needs to improve.
December 16, 200619 yr Pitino is a very intelligent coach. I will always like him and wish him well. But maybe one of the worst comments he ever made was when making any comparison whatsoever with Palacios and Jamal Mashburn. There is no comparison!!

I remember him comparing Jared Prickett to a young Larry Bird...:eek:
December 16, 200619 yr Jim's Kareem and Padgett was better.:sssh: :lol: :lol: :lol: I respect Jim too much to give him too much crap for that comment. I think he just got caught up in the heat of the moment.

Palacios is a good player that at times has bene dominant. But Mashburn was always dominant. Pitino said it best about Mashburn: "It was like giving an atomic bomb to a madman."

Porter did do a great Job at point today and I think he is only going to get better. Kentucky didn't shoot the lights out either,Meeks save the day from outside!
