MBB Game 13B: WF at L'ville - 8 pm ACC Network (for now)

[PaddyWF]

Disagree this is already a bad loss

Nah, come on. Quality opponent on the road. We will beat someone we shouldn't, probably at home.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Yeah, Louisville sucks. They just got the better of the whistles and hit a bunch of unlikely threes. Our defense was not good but was affected by the foul trouble.

 

[sportsmed86]

Tough loss to a pretty bad Louisville team. They got hot second half. We played like a squad who hadn’t played in 12 days.

They had about same layoff if not longer. UL are still picked top 6 so what bad team do you see?

 

[deacdixieboy]

That’s a bad loss because it was a winnable game and we basically need to go 13-7 to make the tourney.

 

[SkyDivingDeacon]

This was a bad loss. Foul trouble created some issues but we failed to get into the paint and put pressure on them inside. Also, about five foul calls on us were complete horseshit

 

[PaddyWF]

Miami on New Year's Day is a much more important game, imo.

 

[tigerswood]

The 4th foul calls on Walton and ManMan weren’t even close to fouls. Totally changed the outcome of the game. Though it was nice to see Jake take over offensively for a bit with ManMan out.

Officiating was terrible. But our lack of quality depth was really exposed. We have not gotten anything of note from Hildreth or Whitt against high level competition. There will be more nights with bullshit calls requiring us to go the the bench and we will need more than we are currently getting.

Louisville lost to WKU and Furman.

Totally agree. Absolutely horrible calls

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Chris Mack has the dead eyed pallor of a guilty man who knows the jig is up.

 

[daaberry]

Inexcusable for refs not to correct the clock in that rebound. Play defense and have the ball down two with about 10 seconds left. If Forbes decides to foul, that would be his decision. The clock forced Wake to foul which is just wrong.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Louisville lost to WKU and Furman.

Yeah, I'm not sure how somebody could watch that game and say Louisville is a good team.

 

[PaddyWF]

Louisville lost to WKU and Furman.

They also beat a pretty good Mississippi St. and OK Maryland team. Western Kentucky is decent, and that was on the road.

The Cards are likely a tourney team.

 

[morrison2951]

This one hurts.

 

[deac03]

Haven’t watched much Louisville I take it.

If that's what you think then you think the tourney is going to suck. You're probably right though.

 

[ConnorEl]

F that game

 

[Rocket]

Officials called the game horrible on both sides. The difference is louisville plays a lot more guys and their best players weren't in foul trouble. We made some big shots down the stretch but unfortunately they answered them right back.

We're one or two additional quality players away from being a really good team. We just don't have the depth to win a war of attrition.
