October 25, 201015 yr Coming up Sunday, Louisville huge favorite, but has some injuries and appears to be a little less than a great team. Not sure what to expect from NKU this year, but do they have any chance of competing against Louisville as well as they did a year ago? Looks like a Faulkner Justice rematch from their last state tournament game. Worth going too?
October 26, 201015 yr It should be worth going to in order to see what both teams have and to see the new arena. NKU just had its Halloween Hoopla tonight and the transfers we got in look to be very athletic...no scrimmaging but you could just see the athleticism. The Norse transfers are Bobby Shannon (from the College of southern Maryland but was originally going to go to Marshall), Josh Tabb (from Tennessee), Malcolm Eleby (from St. Bonaventure), and James Cotton (from Maryland-Eastern Shore). Here are NKU's roster and schedule links as well.
October 26, 201015 yr I followed the hyperlink to NKU's roster and saw Mitch Shover (Cov. Cath.) in NKU gold and black. Best of luck to Mitch for a great career at NKU.
October 26, 201015 yr I don't know if they had a contract or how it all worked, but I do think it was a classy move to invite NKU down to open the Yum Center after Louisville helped open our Bank of Kentucky Center.
October 30, 201015 yr Author Louisville's run and gun style of play may just Keep NKU in this game I think NKU can run with them and shoot with them Jennings is the only Cards player that is a tough match up Louisville is likely winner of this game but----- bet NKU hangs around until late
October 31, 201015 yr Louisville's run and gun style of play may just Keep NKU in this game I think NKU can run with them and shoot with them Jennings is the only Cards player that is a tough match up Louisville is likely winner of this game but----- bet NKU hangs around until late Pitino says that Preston Knowles and Kyle Kuric have practiced well and separated themselves from the rest of the team. I'm curious how Siva looks.
October 31, 201015 yr It is half time. UofL dosn't look too bad. Saw some bright spots, Dieng shooting the 3. Edited October 31, 201015 yr by gold sunrise
October 31, 201015 yr And NKU wonders why no one comes out from the community to watch the Norse play the round ball? NKy.com had a brief comment online, but failed to mention pretty much anything about the NKU team! link to the article

November 1, 201015 yr This one could've been much closer if NKU shot at all from the outside. They were terrible in the first half, particularly. Louisville has a ways to go. NKU cut the lead to 9 points with about 5 minutes remaining, but U of L hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put it out of reach.
