GAME DAY!

Alright guys looks like vegas has the Cards -9 1/2 and seen where they are having throwback night at the Yum Center fans encouraged to wear their vintage UL gear.

First thing we have to limit our turnovers, kinda excited to see how TC handles this kind of pressure.
GG has to be a game changer tonight with his D and hopefully knock down a few 3's, SK has to get hot early and Rubles and Shaq gotta be active on the boards and get to the free throw line. My guys though tonight if JJ cant go full strength is big Dave and Sanders they got to grab the boards and wreck havoc downlow. Let's Go Cats give em hell!

Cats-68
Cards-65

I'm not a betting man but I would take UC and that spread. Already said it but I'm picking the Bearcats outright.

I'm geared up! I hope the Cats come ready for a raucous crowd. I'll play devil's advocate...

If we allow Louisville to control the tempo...Head
Cards 71-56

If we can slow them down and force them into bad shots/one and done...Heart

Bearcats 55-52

Here's hoping for the latter.


Let's go Bearcats!!!!

Jeff if your right I want your help filling out my brcket sheet. LOl. Would love the Cats to get the W but I like are chances at home much better with a healthy JL and no injury clouds hanging over JJ's head.

Louisville has played outstanding the past 4 games they have been fueled by Smith and Hancock over that span; with Wayne Blackshear having a game where he went 8-10 and the last two games Harrell has made 15/13 field goals and pulled down 23 rebounds.

Russ Smith over the last 4 games is as follows:
22/47 fields goals, 10/15 from 3, 22/31 ft's....He also has averaged over 4 t.o.'s a game the past 4.

Luke Hancock's last 4:
21/44 field goals, 10/27 from 3, 8/11 ft's

Combined they are 43/91 fg, 20/43 from 3, 30/42 fts with 24 t.o.s collectively. There's your engine that has driven this surge. That's quite a pace when you consider they've hit 47% of their field goals, 46.5% from 3, and over 71% from the ft line. That's incredible, especially the 3 point percentage since both their best career percentage in a full season from there is 39%. I think it's fools gold and one reason I'm picking UC.
