An air ball on a hook shot.
The only teams in this bracket that has really looked good is Wichita St.
I know alot of people think they are not legit, but I think they are a very good team and I hope they prove the naysayers wrong.
they would be whoopin' up on these assholes
It feels like Louisville is up about 15 yet its only 5.
Louisville's performance so far indicates that the experts overreacted to them hammering a couple of bad teams in their conference tourney and declared them the favourite.
I mean, the refs aren't helping you, but make a damn shot.
the under retroactively for this game, sheesh it's ugly
This might be the worst tournament game I have ever watched.
The refs have decided...the first team to 30 wins.
This is awful basketball.
is resembling the game now, total suckage
Russ Smith Jr looks older than Russ Smith Sr.
And yet St. Louis is still in the game.
Yup, Louisville SURE LOOKS LIKE A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM ALRIGHT.
Maybe all of the fouling is because StL was so impressed with the results of their Hack-A-Pack strategy against NC State that they decided to just keep using it.
Pitino is starting to look like a day walking vampire.
Oh, man.....my eyes....that half.
Saint Louis' eFG% is 28.6%. That accounts for the 0-6 from beyond the arc thing.
Louisville is doing better - 47.72% eFG%, although all of this came in the last five minutes.
Saint Louis' OREB% - 11.76%, also a TOV% that is north of 40% right now.
These games have both been so hideous..here's hoping our offense lights it up.
Luke Footcock
23 TOs and 16 FGs.
Again, Footpenis fouls a guy and the other guy gets called for retaliating. I'd do a little more than slap him though.
I love how Louisville's players are just stunned every time they actually get called for a foul, even when it's completely obvious.
It seems to be a common trend when it comes to teams that tend to play physical hack attack defense.
Watching these games makes me fully understand what other people see when they watch Big Ten football..just completely incompetent offense.
Wowww. Helluva lob pass to Evans down low and good finish. Very nice.
You've got to be a special kind of fool to get a lane violation when the opponent doesn't have any players on the lane.
Wooo!!! Eff Louisville! Nice shot Hancock you "word I'm not going to type"
Jett just pulled a LeVert on the inbounds, terrible pass.
Annnnd I'm not sure that was a foul on the shot?!
Hancock holds a dude while the ball is in the air so his teammate can get said ball and Harrell plows Jett out of the way who had position to get an offensive rebound. Let let that shit slide on the other side now refs, now that we have a precedent set.
Fuck. Luke. Hancock.
mugging each other out there now. In lieu of playing basketball.
Shoot. Loe will be out a good 3-5 minutes
Neither of these teams can shoot for anything. Everything is just drive into a crowd and hope for a foul.
When you truly believe that your team has never commited a legitimate foul during your entire tenure as head coach, it probably rubs off on the refs a bit after awhile. I also think teams with a rep for "physical" defense tend to get away with alot more.
