Louisville v Michigan game thread

[MarquetteDano]

I will give Kellogg credit he is trying to stay unbiased, but you can tell he really wants Michigan to win.

Saying he is an OSU guy doesn't fool me.  Doesn't mean he still would not cheer for a Big Ten team over a non-Big Ten one.

Boy, rough game for Smith.  But holy crap is Siva fast. 

[buckchuckler]

What an awesomely fun game to watch. 

[Oldgym]

This is nuts.  The pace is frantic.  Love it.

[T.V. Diener 34]

Burke is tough!  But let's go 'Ville!!  Gotta represent for the Big East!

[buckchuckler]

Wikipedia is telling me it is in fact Gene Honda.

He didn't do the Sox game yesterday.  I was wondering about that.

+1

Enjoy watching LV play. Hope we get to that level.

He is 6/13 with 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals and 16 points.

He is 6/13 with 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals and 16 points.

He's playing well, just seems to miss every other layup he attempts tonight.

Siva wants this game badly. He's really controlling this for Ville.

yea he's absolutely carrying them tonight

Some of them have a pretty high degree of difficulty.  Its not like they are fast breaks or lay up line shots.

Of all the big men we've missed on lately... Dieng, to me, is the most impressive. Would love him in a warrior uniform

Had Dieng matriculated, MU would be playin' tonight.

His offensive game has grown so much.  Really impressive.

Pitino pissed by that Russ Smith shot.  Should have dribbled it out and eaten some clock.  He's rightfully pissed off.

Yeah, Smith is playing like he did in that 5 OT ND game.  Stupid plays, and poor execution.  Not a great showing from a great player.

Apparently Lville doesn't run out the clock?  Past 3 possessions they have taken shots in the 20s on the shot clock.

[buckchuckler]

Geesh, does everyone have 4 fouls...

[Norm]

Seriously, how was UM not called for a foul under the basket there? They were hammering Behannan.

True, but that whole play was out of control too.  I'm questioning Slick Rick's gameplan here with all these early shotclock shots.  This game should be over by now with them up 10ish.

[4everwarriors]

I don't know how the guys get up after some of these falls.

[MerrittsMustache]

He is 6/13 with 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals and 16 points.

Not to mention 68 uncalled fouls.

[Norm]

Pitino should tell SMith and Siva to get the ball into Deing and Behannan with 7-8 on the shot clock from here on out.
