Guess the defensive "point of emphasis"...

...was only for half the season?
Louisville and Cincy are in a rock fight & the refs are all basking in their inconsistent glory. There's not a hint of the BS we heard about lessening the physicality, etc.
As per usual, all of that goes out the window in conference play. Same as it ever was.

that's a really solid win for Cinci - they somehow managed to not completely collapse after the obligatory L'vlle 2nd half surge.
Nothing new, but gawd I'd be ready to kill myself if Russ Smith was on the team I cheered for.
Cinci is a really tough (not so smart) team.
L'vlle misses Siva and Dieng badly.

My Louisville cousins were at the game. Devastated. I feel for them. They will be watching the Syracuse/Duke game and cheering for us. We all love each other.

God, I'm feeling maudlin.
