Yeah, we suck on D right now. Pumped to only be down 4. Kuric just owned Martin unfortunately. SC Top 10 tonight.

Abro and Cooley stepping up tonight. If we can start defending and rebounding a little better I think we'll be in good shape.

Hate these gold on gold uniforms. The football team better never seriously consider this look. I'd rather they come out in all black before this gold overkill monstrosity.

Gotta say I think all of these back to back games are kinda hurting us. It looks like we have some pretty tired legs and Louisville is just a tad faster than us attacking the hoop.

Refs really should be calling more fouls on the Cardinals. Lot of hand checking and pushing when they extend their defense.

..and yeah we look really tired.

Stadium is rocking.

Hansborough has to begin to be in the discussion for POY. As a UCONN/Kemba fan, Im leaning toward Ben...

Perhaps the Rutgers game took a lot out of them.



ND up 57-55

Louisville is just not going away. This one is going to take the full 40 minutes and maybe more.

That's a bad call on the charge that guy flopped and was moving his feet. Wow. Frustrating.

I disagree. I thought it was a good call. You dont always have to be set to take a charge. He was moving his feet and stayed in front of Ben and then Ben lowered his shoulder.

"lowered his shoulder"

On the slow mo there was either no contact or little contact. Can't make that call with a guy moving his feet. I dunno.. maybe it is my bias and 10 years of basketball refereeing... but the rule of thumb is if a guy is moving at all unless the offensive guy has an obvious player control violation you don't blow your whistle.

The conspiracy theorist in me (watching that REALLY late whistle on that obvious foul on Carleton coupled with the fouls they've called on Ben) is that after the Rutgers game they had a video session and they told refs to not be as whistle happy for ND/watch for Ben pushing off on his drives. I thought the refs in the Rutgers game missed a lot of offensive fouls on Ben.

Kemba has fallen off of late. Long way to go in the season. I love UConn and I like how their freshman have stepped up (Jeremy Lamb, Shabazz Napier, Roscoe Smith).
