Guys have to learn we can't drive all the way to the basket. Either pull it out and reverse it quick or get to the middle of the lane for a jumper.

Pump fakes would be nice to see vs these bigs too.

UL missed about 50 shots on one possession, then we go one and done as Maston misses

UL quickly scores and it's 11-2... this isn't a fair fight.

Motley needs to be benched. That is about as careless of a goal tend as I've ever seen. the ball wasn't even going to hit the rim...

Games like this is when we need a legit scorer. thankfully we won't play a team the rest of the season w/ a front court like this.

Rebounding is a HUGE concern.

When Maston is missing 8 footers things are not going well.

Motley w/ a dumb block/goaltend.

Louisville can go really cold from the field. If we can start limiting 2nd chance shots, we have a shot.

UL runs the clock down and scores in the paint by a guard, unreal. this is a clinic. 15-4 UL

Motley has a seam but coughs up the ball on the dribble... UL misses a 3, but stop me if you have heard this before, grabs the offensive rebound and then is fouled.

Luckily for us, Kansas is probably the only other team that may be this good that we face.

The rebounding is just pathetic. They may have twice as many offensive rebounds as we have points.

I can't believe we won't find a man and block anyone out.

That article on Motley not holding onto the ball was spot on. Yikes. Ugly start. We are being triple teamed, just be patient and pass it back out to the open man and make the extra pass and we'll get some open shots which will open up our bigs assuming we hit our shots outside.

UL has 8 offensive rebounds in 8:28 of play. mmmk

they hit both. 17-4 UL

Motley misses at the rim. I think I'm gonna be sick.

UL misses a jumper, then Jake misses a shot in transition (looks like he was fouled)... foul on UL on the rebound

They are missing a lot of fouls on our end. Sure we would still be down but call it both ways.

Good hustle on that play having 4 guys go for the offensive rebound.

Break their press and lets get out and run. We won't beat them in the half court w/out any scorers.

King scares me... you can see he wants to force it. he gets fouled on the ground tho

yep, he gets it and takes it into the lane and is swatted.

timeout, UL, he wants to talk to the ref

Not sure what that foul call was, but Lindsey was hit hard on the lay up.

They're really allowing slots of contact. We don't do well with that.

Baylor looks poor early. Lot of time left. This is why teams with active hands on defense win a lot of games. Louisville one of the best. They are making tough shots though.
