KU’s defense was not great but it was not bad either; KU was down “only” 10 points at half time :). It was the putrid 19% FG that doomed KU :(. Louisville has also more height than KU with 7 players 6’-8" or taller. I surely hope Louisville can pull it off., they just pulled within 2.
@approxinfinity Trust me, we all appreciate you and your able assistants far more. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the year that provides us this little niche on the side of the info highway. Here’s a pre New Year’s toast to you. Take your pick.
Injuries are always the wildcard. UK was more equipped to lose a big than a perimeter player. However, it doesn’t change the fact that they are still deep and talented. Its a bad break for Poythress, who seemed to be a very hard worker. Its unfortunate that he may miss out on a very special season, especially since he was a part of the hugely disappointing season a couple years ago.
Big test today with UNC. I am curious to see how they adapt and if this makes them vulnerable.
I echo your remarks, Brooks. My condolences to all affected by cancer as well.
As you make your year-end charitable donations, please consider giving to any one of the many worthy organizations fighting cancer, whether it’s the V Foundation or one in your town. Here in the Northwest, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (named after the late MLB player and manager) has done a great job, and I’ve been supporting them for many years since I watched my brother’s next door neighbor, an otherwise healthy guy, die way too early from the disease. We’ve all been touched by it either directly or indirectly, and any support you give to help beat cancer is greatly appreciated.
I am guardedly optimistic about Svi. He had a good game Sunday, Friday not too bad, Thursday nothing. Before that, a clunker, along with everyone else against Kentucky, a decent showing against Rider and his debut was nothing to airmail home about.
What the Freak am I talking about? The kid is 17 and will be all season! This kid is unbelievable! He’ll be a 19 year old Junior!! I hope he stays of course, and if he does, watch out Big12 and others, KU will be as tough as always.
@globaljaybird “Personally I’ve been called so many things in my life not much alarms me anymore.”
Just don’t call me late for dinner. Enjoy your weekend. I’ll be out at the range tomorrow afternoon making sure everybody shoots safe.
