Looks like a blowout now. Unless Josh Smith is going to eat someone I'd go to bed.
Forgot about ol' Josh. He's looking svelte as always. Man that kid has/had some amazing footwork in the post....doesn't do any good when you can't get down the floor and can't elevate though.

My wife looked at him and said, "I didn't realize offensive linemen played basketball."

Louisville sounds cocky, don't they?

"Watching a lot of film, he's not really a running up and down kind of guy," U of L center Mangok Mathiang said Thursday. "His conditioning is not up to our pace. What we're going to do is just run him down the floor. If he doesn't keep up, they'll have to take him out and put in the other 7-2 guy (Ioannis Dimakopoulos) and we'll do the same thing."

Though Ndiaye's wingspan has been measured at 97 inches, and his elbows operate at an elevation that prompted Anteaters coach Russell Turner to obtain MMA headgear as a practice precaution, his size strikes Cardinals coach Rick Pitino as a smaller factor than defending UC Irvine's perimeter shooting.

Height has its advantages, but it doesn't win a lot of footraces. In an up-tempo, transition game, a 7-6 player can cast a long shadow and still not be in the frame on a fastbreak.

"His condition is not nowhere near where ours is," Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell said, "so we're going to make him run a lot."

"We know he's not that agile," said U of L center Chinanu Onuaku. "We'll move the ball quickly so he can't stay with us."

"All of our bigs, we're definitely quicker than him," Mathiang said. "We're in better shape than him. We move better than him. In my mind, all he's got over us is the height."

It sounds like Louisville should have a successful offensive game with ease. Success for them this year has been scoring more than 45 points in a game.

It feels weird to make fun of Louisville without referencing the time Pitino lasted under 15 seconds on the table of an Italian restaurant.

huggins is a douche. will always love the time Miles sunk the game-winning shot from 65 feet vs. #5 cincy for Lute's 500th win.

A smashed chalkboard in the Cincinnati locker room testified to the bitterness of the loss. Coach Bob Huggins was caustic when asked if his team could learn anything from it.

"You have to be awful dumb to have to lose to learn," Huggins said. "They probably worked long and hard on that shot from three-quarters court."

so classy in defeat!

The traditional final play no-call. Applies to everyone except Arizona, where the bump-and-bump of incidental contact initiated by the defender goes against our offense.

That sucked. I actually picked NMSU for shits and giggles, plus I thought they had the frontline size to hang with them, but I had forgotten how bad a coach Marvin Menzies was.

I see poor Robert Morris getting the Puke treatment from the refs.

ffs how much mugging of a player does puke have to do to finally get called for a foul?

they reallllly don't need the ref help against a 16 seed.
