i hate you roy williams.

Agreed, Coach Pitino had better change some things up. We're getting killed on the boards and in the paint - which is unusual. 1st half Louisville is getting out played.

Hate Ty Lawson. He's the one who blows by Louisville's press.

the Cards have gotten back in. Reset @ 59, we have a 10 minute game.

 

[ElFenix]

that didn't look like a travel to me.

nice no call of hansbrough's over the back foul



who is more surprised, hansbrough or reche caldwell?

 

[Miramonti]

I'm going to be just short of suicidal if Bilas says one more time that Hansbrough never takes a play off.

I'm too young to die tho. Louisville must win to eliminate his bonehead chatter.

 

[CallMeJoe]

but Hansbrough never takes a play off...

 

[Farang]

Earl Clark needs to go for a walk

 

[Baked]

Cards just called a panic timeout after a traveling call. They're sinking fast...

 

[tfinch2]

Damn Hansbrough is ripping the nets. :laugh:

[ElFenix]

Yep, they had it but those turnovers killed.

It's a game of possession. Oh, and it's LU'VUL.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Did anybody mention how hard Hansbrough works?

edit: apologies to jjsole for dead horse flogging.

Well Rick Pitino said the same thing. He said he coached against Jordan, Magic Johnson, etc and although they may have had much more talent - none of them played as hard each play as Hansborough. Not to mention other basketball analysts all over the country are saying the exact same thing. I've watched a lot of basketball, and Jordan was the greatest... but I agree that I've never seen anyone play as hard every play as Hansborough does. He's not near the top of most skilled players, but he's definately at the top in terms of hardest working each play.

...with which no one would have a problem, were it not the seventy-eleventh time Bilas made a "hard-working Hansbrough" comment in the course of the tournament.

Yeah, I hate when they act like you didn't get the point, so they have to say it a hundred times. In the KU/Villanova game, one of the announcers kept saying that Villanova had come back from a double digit deficit from LSU early in the season, as though that would somehow impact them being trounced in this game.

Also, who planned this year's tournament? The reason I ask, is what were they thinking with some of their venues. Omaha? Then Detroit's football stadium (which looked practically empty, and most of the people there seemed completely disinterested in the game). And then there's the like 150 people they have at the 3-4 rows of the media table (and so the crowd sits about 30 feet from the court). Lastly, the refs have been very inconsistent (and poor overall from what I've seen). I guess since they decided to have dugouts in football stadiums that they have hockey refs? The camera work has also been pretty poor.

Memphis is looking strong early. Horns making lots of mistakes. So much for Memphis getting tagged w/ 1st #1 to lose.

 

[dbk]

The Longhorns are outmatched sizewise at every position.

 

[Miramonti]

Rose and Dorsey are friggin monster ballers. :Q Watching Rose and Augustine match up, I think Rose is single-handedly keeping Augustine in school next year.

 

[spidey07]

It looks like Dorsey is trying real hard to tear down that rim. Actually TRYING, I'm surprised he hasn't been called on it yet.

 

[hdeck]

well, we had a good run. hard to beat a top team when they are all bigger than you and you make 0 adjustments throughout the game. memphis vs ucla should be a good one to watch.
