January 16, 200719 yr He was feeling it...At least two of his three's were DEEP, and I didn't think had a prayer, but they dropped. What can you do?Exactly. During the game, I would tell people 'Louisville's still in this, its still close enough and he can't keep...' and I would trail off because he would hit another sick one.
January 16, 200719 yr Louisville played OK, acceptable but not great basketball tonight. James got hot and won the game for Marquette, end of story. Really, this is all that needs to be said.
January 16, 200719 yr Looked like a good call to me on the replay. For what it's worth, the commentators said it was the right call. He should have passed the ball on the week for an uncontested layup anyhow, and it wouldn't be an issue. There is no way, on the face of this planet that two men running stride for stride, and one can get in position (AND SET), to get that charge, in reality I would've accepted a no-call, but no more.

Exactly...I was right on that baseline, and the guy was standing NEXT to T-Will....Definitley a no-call situation, and I believe that's what iced the game...
January 16, 200719 yr Exactly...I was right on that baseline, and the guy was standing NEXT to T-Will....Definitley a no-call situation, and I believe that's what iced the game...I agree. Louisville still might have lost, had the no-call been made, but they might have won, too. After that, no chance.
January 16, 200719 yr I thought it was the right call...James was set in the path of the basket...Williams ran right over him. It was a selfish play. Williams was left of the block and drew James to him and had Sosa wide open. He chose to try and score himself. Look at Sosa's reaction...he was mad Williams didnt pass the ball. Pitino dropped the poop word and didn't even protest the call. No one was disputing the call... T-Will was forcing stuff....and according to Pitino, he forced it all night.
January 16, 200719 yr I agree. Louisville still might have lost, had the no-call been made, but they might have won, too. After that, no chance. How much time was left in the game after that call? Two possession game? No chance to win? Two stops is all you need to get it to a one possession game. James got hot and Barro was effective.
January 16, 200719 yr Careful, RP, they'll call you a Cardinal Basketball fan... I will cheer them to win, but as much as T-Will tries to help them, he hurts them just as much....for what it's worth, Will Scott should be on the court, he is not much different than Redick was early in his Duke career.
January 16, 200719 yr I thought it was the right call...James was set in the path of the basket...Williams ran right over him. It was tremendously selfish no doubt about it...but James did not get SET, that's the bottom line, he slid into it...normally I don't complain about one call, but man, that one had a direct effect on the goings on afterwards.
January 16, 200719 yr for what it's worth, Will Scott should be on the court, he is not much different than Redick was early in his Duke career. Im gonna have to disagree there...Maybe later in his career, but not right now IMO.

Pitino didn't even raise an eyebrow towards the official. He's either mellowed or agreed with the call, the Pitino I watched on the bench at UK would have been in the officials ear. If you blame anyone, blame T-Will for being selfish with the basketball. Also Padgett was pretty successful tonight. Probably should have feed him in the post a little more often rather than jack up 18 3's taking him out of the offense. Not that it is a ton of 3's but I think UL has proved on more than one occassion that maybe they should work it a little closer to the basket.

James got hot and Barro was effective. Three possession game, actually. With the basket, it would have been a 5 point game. But the momenteum was sucked out of the building. Louisville came charging back, and points off turnovers has been Louisville's best weapon. Without that basket, I didn't see Louisville making it.
January 16, 200719 yr Im gonna have to disagree there...Maybe later in his career, but not right now IMO. I can understand that, BUT Louisville needs someone that can hit shots, Will Scott fills that void, plus he plays all out, and is savvy...
January 16, 200719 yr I can understand that, BUT Louisville needs someone that can hit shots, Will Scott fills that void, plus he plays all out, and is savvy... I just dont think he's comfortable yet...Yeah, sometimes playing more will help a player get rid of that giddyness, but not always...
