OK, kind of a double-post, but I had to put this in the SH thread when this one wasnt extant:

I'm going to be ticked off at Louisville if they manage to beat 'Nova today and put us, again, in a tight spot vis-a-vis the relative imperative with which our opponent will play us. Temple had only three chances to make a significant out-of conference impression, and we were their only away game to do so (splitting against 'Nova and Kansas at home has to have been considered outperforming expectations at the beginning of the season); Butler had underperformed versus expectations prior to our game; Washington had lost an overtime game at Texas Tech in their only notable matchup prior to playing us; ODU and Marquette were in absolutely must-win situations for at-large consideration. We're already going to be facing a Seton Hall team on Thursday that needs a big win after so many recent (and frustrating) losses; their only win of note was at Cornell.

If they lose at the 'Ville, 'Nova will need to win against us at home if they want to maintain their top 10 status. They'll also have five days in-between games to work on it to our two. What would make that particular result all the more frustrating is Louisville's continued poor out-of-conference representation versus their eventual Big East record. I think the only season with us in which they didn't under-perform OOC was their first.

nova getting spanked early (god it feels good to type that, every time)

And Pitino's wearing the white suit - ridiculous.

Advice for the men - there are VERY FEW people who can pull off a white suit. Don't let anyone try to talk you into wearing one. I doubt the ever fashionable Jay Wright could pull it off. (this does not include light colored linen suits or jackets - just white)

[vcjack]

Have to say that Nova commercial was pretty good

[EasyEd]

Louisville over Nova 43-36 at half.

[hoyarooter]

Just caught the halftime stats on the Nova-Louisville game. 28 fouls and 29 turnovers in the first half? I'm sure that game must have a nice flow to it. Could it be any uglier?

Of note is that Louisville is demolishing Nova on the boards - 17 offensive rebounds in the first half is a pretty fair number.

[vcjack]

There's been like a foul on every possession this half. Boring.

And Nova just takes the lead

[vcjack]

Also L'ville's guards suck hard

[tjm62]

I. Hate. Villanova.

[MCIGuy]

This game started at 7pm? Was there a long stoppage of play because of a power outage or has there just been THAT many fouls?

[HoyaSinceBirth]

This game is so sloppy and full of fouls. Very ridiculous.

[tjm62]

I'm not looking forward to the day where we get this officiating crew. If Monroe and Vaughn get tagged with 3 fouls in the first 10 minutes of the game, we'll get run into the ground.

[williambraskyiii]

cough, Duke game, cough!

I mean, I am holding my nose and rooting for Nova. Want Saturday's game to have as much hype surrounding it as possible.

Guard the 3 against Nova and you win.

[vcjack]

Dear God make it stop!

[BurleithBeast]

60 FOULS! Sheezus Chrysler!

[MCIGuy]

This has nothing to do with the refs. Just the style of play. Villanova, for a small team, goes to the foul line a lot. And all of Louisville games end up as slugfests this season.

[adlai]

This is up there with the worst game I've ever seen played on all fronts.

This has something to do with the refs too. Half the stuff they have called easily could have and should have been let go. For instance the last three foul calls that sent Reynolds to the line. I don't think any of them were fouls, but when you flop and fall, you will get it. And I think a lot of the off the ball fouls could have been let go too. Just an ugly game.

[seaweed]

should be the ncaa record now over 60 - from wikianswers -

57 University of Evansville vs Indiana State University 1-17-2009 Evansville In

Missouri Valley Conference

Not anymore! 2-23-09 #15 Kansas vs #3 Oklahoma 60 fouls total, (29 KU, 31 OU)
