Final Four Game 1 Open Thread
It is kind of funny to think that he wrote that piece to avoid having to write one this weekend in case we advanced.
Shockers confidence is off the charts right now.
Don't worry, buddy. No one saw it.
Being in the bonus seems to be actually hurting Wichita right now. Two de facto turnovers in a row.
Miss anything?
I still think I'm going to watch this "Road To The Championship" ESPN 30 minute special on Michigan.
Has anyone seen it? It's been sitting on my DVR for a couple of days.
Am I crazy in thinking that we have a better matchup vs Louisville than Wichita State? Louisville seems to want to run the ball every time and we always seem to destroy teams that want to increase the # of possessions.
Haven't been able to eat all day... my stomach is like a giant knot.
We're headed for a 10pm start of our game.
As annoying as the officiating can be during Big Ten games, this is even worse. Everything's a foul. This game has no rhythm.
Not sure.. but if someone decided to take a shot every time they showed him they must be in the hospital with alcohol poisoning right now.
Wichita is shooting themselves in the foot after every Louisville basket. The longer they wait to get an inbounder behind the line, and the longer that guy takes to find and/or pick up the ball, the longer Louisville has to set up the press.
This is maddeningly simple stuff. Get your transition game going, get the ball in play, get the ball over midcourt. Come on.
The ville has woken up...
Too much celebrating from Lousiville and their fans when they are a huge favourite.
Every call against him is a crime against humanity such as the world has never seen before
Louisville got away with one there.
Wichita is losing its composure. Louisville's press is good but WSU is making them look better than they are with some really dumb turnovers. They're also settling way too much for outside shots when UL is in the double-bonus.
Louisville just tackled the shocker player....no call and a fast break.
The officiating in this game is a disgrace. You would think a national semifinal would have better officiating than this.
Can a player bean Pitino with the ball when he is on the court? or make a bounce pass off his head? Might help to break the press.
I always wanted to see a coach just got bowled over by a player when the coach is like 10 ft out onto the court. No one would know what to do
I can't believe Wichita State is going to piss this one away because they can't figure out how to inbound a basketball without risking a turnover.
I missed much of the 2nd half...
If ESPN has any Civil War buffs this is the headline they will use for UL-Wichita State.
After being in the double-bonus 10 minutes, it finally occurs to the Shockers to go right at their big men in foul trouble.
