Louisville Postgame Thoughts

[dasher]

I was angry during the game, but in retrospect, I was hard on myself.

Sometimes you just have to enjoy a win... Especially if it's the last one of the season.

We can beat ND. We can beat the Ville at the Ville. Maybe one other.

This isn’t Duke they’re playing. imagine thinking we shouldn’t expect them to roll a single digit win team on their home court.

Louisville is better than their record. They are an improving team that just beat Fl St. and came close against Clemson. But keep being completely negative and don’t enjoy this win.

Maybe, but probably not.

Go grab a coin and flip it 6 times. If it’s 6 heads, come back in the thread and let me know.

He's pretty self aware.

I know he checks out mentally on the court, but he seems coachable.

They gave up 92pts to a terrible offense and got out rebounded by 18.

There is no doubt in my mind that if we stayed in man, we would have lost. That is how bad our man is now. No one can guard their man. It's really quite striking. I can't wait for this season to be over.

Seth is like an assistant coach for us tonight. Said a lot of things we’ve been saying here during the game and coached up Bell right there.

Did the NBA evaluators tell Mintz to go back to school and work on his end-of-game decision making after last year’s howlers?

This came to mind on that play

 

[dasher]

Maybe, but probably not.

I won't argue that we aren't bad. We are. But ND, the Ville are also terrible.

Seriously lmao what are we even talking about. We just gave up a 90 spot and beat a walking corpse by a bucket.

It was heads... Buffalo nickels.

Well, that was a weird win. Thoughts?

Happy to win, after all the tumult.
We are not very deep at all now.
JJ and Copeland played very well, until Copeland forced some things in the 2nd half.
Inconsistent foul shooting almost cost us.
The zone was effective against Louisville, and does prevent teams from bullying us quite so much inside.
But a good 3 point shooting team will have a field day.

The slow motion replay was shocking in so many ways.

1) JJ has a wide open layup if Q just drops it off
2) Q is fouled
3) it’s not a goaltend
4) brown somehow botches the dunk and it still goes in

That was a crazy sequence, yet not surprising.

Can we all agree that every time someone posts about predicting Mintz not coming back next year, it means transferring to another school?! There is zero chance he is a pro player

 

[IthacaMatt]

I can't believe Judah thought that was the play to make in that situation. I'm speechless. But yay I guess, we won.

He has done that way too many times.

 

[IthacaMatt]

John Gillon

I think Shumpert, too.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Were you watching. We were shredded in man. Lay ups. after more lay ups. There was no defense we can play but man is almost out of the question because we can't guard anyone on the floor.

We have played decent stretches of man. If we’re going to get torched at least don’t revert to Dino ball.

This is on both the players and the coaches.

 

[pfister1]

We won!!

Let’s put everything else behind us…….way behind.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Remember Southerland making 9 one game.

Andy Rautins was a great 3 point shooter - maybe him?

Louisville is better than their record. They are an improving team that just beat Fl St. and came close against Clemson. But keep being completely negative and don’t enjoy this win.

They’re just as good as their record, just like every other team.

G league is technically pro.

 

[FrancoPizza]

The zone was effective against Louisville,

by what measure was it effective? My heaven I feel like it’s 2017 again and the usual holdouts are defending JB.

 

[FireballPhil]

Just a couple days after a really bad loss and the loss of a teammate. This win is one of the best of the season. They may not win another game, but they came together as a team and won. A bad game, a great win. Let's see where it goes from here.

If we had made foul shots we win by 10 or more.

Hey, we know a thing or two here about corpses getting rebounds.
