Final Four Game 1 Open Thread
Lost before them, uhm, yeah.
And they're looking pretty good right now....
Well if anything Brian doing a preview DFAbove for Louisville may not have jinxed us, but jinxed them. Nice work
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.
Russ Smith is gona shoot Louisville out of this game.
Friggin walkon
Don't worry, buddy. No one saw it.
This game feels like it could get out of hand quickly. Louisville is throwing up ill advised threes and fouling with this much time left is a telling sign.
Being in the bonus seems to be actually hurting Wichita right now. Two de facto turnovers in a row.
Can't Turn You Loose! Go 'Merica!
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.
Louisville is fouling every damn possession. No flow to the game at all.
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.
I was pondering the same question. Also, how did Wichita St lose so many games this year?
A swamp right now. Getting way too nervous for our game. Come on boys!!
Haven't been able to eat all day... my stomach is like a giant knot.
Stiff drinks. You will calm very quickly, this i promise.
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.
Re-retrieve ... Kellogg is a jackass.
He's anyone kept track of how many times they've shown Ware?
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.
The favorite, they can no longer cheer when they do well or win? Makes sense. They should all just be uber pissed all the time.
Every call against him is a crime against humanity such as the world has never seen before
Louisville got away with one there.
as much as I would like to see Michigan vs Louisville I am thinking we need this broken leg thing to end
Everyone on Louisville should be fouled out.
I mean, that's their game plan. They always do that in the games I've seen. They foul right to the brink if fouling out.
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.
OMG WARE IS STANDING UP!!!!! That means Louisville is going to win!!
Louisville just tackled the shocker player....no call and a fast break.
Was a travel!!! Missed call!
Hit to the face. Check for a flagrant.
Flagrant 1? Didn't get a great look but looked like a shot to the face
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
is available thru tune in radio on station wknw -
There's some face contact
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...
Ugly, but exciting.
Ballsy three there by Hancock. I would hate to be him if he missed it.
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.
