March 4, 201214 yr Pitino's magic has ran out against the Orangemen and may have run out well before. As a Cards fan, it's not been fun watching them this year. I know they don't have the greatest skill players, particularly in Siva and others, but it has seemed like they haven't played as a team and been on the same page nearly all season. I used to think that people were talking funny that said it before, but after seeing how this season ended and the way they struggled to win some of the games that they did, I am starting to become convinced that Pitino can't connect with the team. I don't have any expectations at all for them in the tournament, but a lot of change is needed next season and I am saying this in the most understating and friendly way that I know how.
March 4, 201214 yr I still believe the Cards can make a run in the NCAA tournament. What seed will they be for the Big East tournament?
March 4, 201214 yr I still believe the Cards can make a run in the NCAA tournament. What seed will they be for the Big East tournament? 1. SU; 2. MQ; 3. ND; 4. CIN; 5. GU; 6. USF; 7. LOU; 8. WVU; 9-12 (TBD Hall, Conn, SJU, RU); 13. PITT; 14. VU; 15. PC; 16. DEP

March 4, 201214 yr What I would consider "extreme" scoring droughts in all of their recent games has been the cause for the recent slide. Lost 4 of 6. The offense has been non-existent. That has to change, and fast, or Louisville is looking at another first round exit.

March 4, 201214 yr I always thought Rick's girl friends have been the biggest distractions in the past.
March 4, 201214 yr The Cards' ball movement early in the game was excellent and they were getting good looks, then all of a sudden it all fell apart. They like the three too much in my opinion, especially when you consider how poorly they shoot it.

March 4, 201214 yr Back in December I was concerned about Louisville's ability to score the basketball. Louisville fans assured me that I was wrong, because Chane Behanon & Russ Smith could score.

This Louisville fan didn't. Louisville is obviously in the tournament, but what have they done to earn it? Beat Vandy? :idunno:
