January 2, 200818 yr I have honestly not watched UL play a lot this year. I got to see about 5 minutes of the 1st half today. I also go to see most of the Purdue game. But it seems to me like Pitino is content on playing 2-3 zone most of the time. He is really changed dramatically IMO since his UK days.
January 2, 200818 yr He made some huge shots down the stretch. Still pretty pumped about this one... Cincy's last road win was???
January 2, 200818 yr Feb 2006... Man. That's longer than I thought. Congrats. I guess that's payback from the football season.
January 2, 200818 yr UC seems to be playing to the level of their competition, that's scary for everyone involved...
January 2, 200818 yr Author UC seems to be playing to the level of their competition, that's scary for everyone involved... I wouldn't say that. The first 8 games they were pretty awful regardless of who was on the other side of the court. The last 5 games, they have played hard nosed ball, and forced their opponents to actually work hard to win. It's a young roster that is starting to grow up...
January 2, 200818 yr Congrats to UC and Gametime as you hang in there with them. I think UC plays up to who they are playing. This time they hung in there and won. UofL looked horrible at time's and makes me wonder if the last was a shot or a pass underneath. Oh well I hope UK can stay with them on Saturday. JD

UC is playing much better in the last 2 weeks--vs. Memphis, Xavier, and UL. But still a bad loss for the Cards.

But it seems to me like Pitino is content on playing 2-3 zone most of the time. He is really changed dramatically IMO since his UK days. He has to play 2-3 out of necessity. Their guards can't guard the ball and they were short-handed and very small in the Purdue game. It's not ALL bad, they rode a 2-3 zone to the Final Four a couple of years ago.
January 2, 200818 yr This is a BAD loss but I can't believe some of you are already comparing them to the football team's season. They ARE 9-4 with losses to Dayton (11-1, ranked 23rd), BYU on the road (10-3, ranked 27th), and Purdue while short-handed (9-4). They're just getting healthy but they are flawed defensively and they're very streaky behind the 3-point line (3 for 23 yesterday). Comparing them to the football team at this stage of the season is a stretch.
January 2, 200818 yr Good win for UC. Cards haven't quite figured out that preseason press clippings mean bupkiss, and that they can't afford to overlook anyone, not even the wounded kitty they'll see Saturday. Sosa and Clark are killing this team with their lackadaisical play.

Sosa and Clark are killing this team with their lackadaisical play. Having never watched UL play before this game, I was shocked to see Sosa throw the ball up from the concession stand severals times. Just bring the ball up, don't run a play, just throw it up from Row 12. :lol:
January 2, 200818 yr Really losing at home to a team that hasn't won a road game in over a year? Preseason top 5 to what now? I think this Louisville basketball team will be just fine by year's end/
