We are shooting 7 of 31 (22%) from 3 in the Bahamas.
0 of 6 today.

I bet our guards can't wait to get out of this ballroom.

I bet hardly anyone had us beating Oregon or Michigan State and many had VCU "upsetting" us. Going 5-1 is incredible, assuming we lose this one.

The nice thing is we are improving our Man to man D this tourney. We're also a very good FT shooting team.

What a BS call on their off rebound.

Snider came in shooting 28% from the field. that doesn't make me feel too good.

UL misses, fouls on rebound. Motley to line

1st good, 2nd off. 36-20 UL 1 min

get it to 12 by half. Give yourself a shot in the 2nd half. They won't shoot this well.

6-9 205 with a 7-3 wingspan. He would help in this game.

Louisville is getting every little touch foul underneath. But they let them play on BU's end. Very odd

Outrebounded 25-12. That just can't happen. Part of it was the refs but we didn't do ourselves any favors. At least we fought off the blowout and cut it down to 15. Get this to 10 or less by 15 min and we'll have a ballgame.

Bu is -11 in rebounding margin in the half. The bigs need to be more physical and grab a board. The 2nd chance opportunities are killing BU

39-24 at the half

25-12 on the boards for Louisville

0-6 from 3 for the Bears

only 6 turnovers- thought that number would be higher

Try to cut the lead by 4 each 4 minute period

Get it down to 7 by 12 minute mark and pick up the intensity on the boards and on defense. And if you get a transition opportunity, go ahead and make them.

I'm really disappointed in what Ive seen from Mitchell. Looks like he is very athletic but isn't ready.

this team would beat us 9 out of 10 times on a neutral court. not a good match-up, to say the least.

the combo of their intensity and length is simply too much for us to handle.

the good news? there isn't a team like this in the Big 12.
