Title: What are the early thoughts on the Ville game?
Post by: Detfan23 on February 14, 2007, 10:08:15 PM
It scares me a lot.  Louisville is playing better since the last time we played them and we are not playing as well.  They are athletic and will get up and down the floor with us.

Hopefully having it at the Bradley Center will be the answer.

I, for one, would not want to be Louisville. Coming into what is already a hostile environment in the BC, adding to that the fact that MU is coming back home off back-to-back road losses. No, we haven't looked good. Yes, UL has been playing well (did you see the Pitt game? wow). We'll have a bit of an axe to grind, and if the Cards' skulls can be the griding stone, well, as far as I'm concerned that's 2 birds with 1 stone (apology for the terrible, unintentional pun).

Play like we can, and we'll win. Play like tonight and we will get our butts kicked. I fear DJ will be under the microscope Saturday.

the BC crowd has not been as terrifying as it could be at times this year. I think it's going to be key for us to get out early or our student section will take quite a bit of coaxing to get back in it...believe me, i'm one of the students that tries to do a lot of the coaxing...and they did play extremely well against Pitt...if we come to play, it'll be a good game i think...if not, I'm just glad we have another game to try and get going again right away in Nova instead of letting the boys think about 3 L's in a row.

No disagreement there. The crowd, in general, has seemed quieter this season. This Saturday, however, is our first big rivalry game at the BC. I expect nothing but the best (worst) from the home crowd.
