According to what I believe and remember out of Pitino, there is no such thing a a stupid 3 point shot, only ones that are better than others. I picked G-Town in the last one and had to pull out one of my many crow recipie request so............ U.L. 77 G-Town 73
March 7, 200818 yr Would be nice if Caracter can stay out of foul trouble till mid-way through the second half giving Padgett opportunities to rest. Also if williams can get rolling early and they can apply good defensive pressure it may put G-Town on their heels enough to make a couple of 10-2, 8-0 scoring runs for U of L. I pick the cards 85-73 only by that much because of fouls shots in the last minute. Definitely closer game than what the final score will show.
March 8, 200818 yr Cards have a week to get ready. Plus this is for the 1 seed in the Big East. Cards 66 Hoyas 61 Pitno gets a week to get ready and he is very hard to beat. I was think that G-town would win until I found out this. Cards win.
March 8, 200818 yr Not sure what to make of this game. The selfish fan in me wants to see a BEast regular-season and tourney title. But the big-picture guy in me says a well-timed loss to get the guys refocused wouldn't be a bad thing. And Pitino has used such things in the past to great effect, such as UK losing to MSU in the '96 SEC championship game.

Sometimes, players can get too feeling they are "the bomb" and it hurts them during tournament time. You're right again, Pitino has used this loss tactic to his advantage before and he could do this tomorrow. So, a loss could be to the CARDS longterm advantage, but I am selfish and I hope they win so it will shut some of the doubters up. (But that's probably in my dreams)
March 8, 200818 yr This will be the game of the day. The winner will win the big east conference. (the best in basketball this year) Should be a great game, that will show a final four atmosphere. Cards by 6
