I'm a Louisville fan, here's our scouting report, ask me anything...

[Joneildu]

what???? that makes no sense. nobody said that. take off the big east mental block- louisville is getting ready to go up against the best ballhandling team left in the tournament. get it? got it? good. sorry if that offends you to say that.

By the sounds of it, the Shox might as well not show up. Of course the NCAA would frown on such an attempt, so I guess they'll just have to go out and test your press.

Act like you've been here before.

I think there are a few Shockers that need to chill it and get over themselves. Thanks for your insight.

What is the airspeed velocity of a fully laden swallow?








Sorry, I couldn't resist. You said to ask you anything. ;) Thanks for the scouting report.

I can tell you what the airspeed velocity of a fully laden Swift is.

Act like you've been here before.

yep.. you have them wacky blinders on. let me put this out one last time for the sane louisville fans reading this- wichita state has the best handles of any team left.. that's exactly why they are in the final four. you make of that what you will. cheers, 'cards.

[vancedave56]

It would have to be an "act". :)
Many on this board are not old enough to have "been there."
Sure the Cards are a big favorite, but the "talking heads" and the "fans" do not play the games.
What will happen remains to be seen.
Either way, it is basketball.
Looking forward to Saturday...and Monday.

Are some of you guys just spoiling for a fight or what?

I do not understand hurling insults at this Louisville guy. Treat the respectful guests respectfully and save the venom for the trolls, if you must.

[fastbow]

Agreed. This guy is a class act, and you all are acting like... Jeeze...

You remember that Ohio State fan who got his thread locked? You're acting like him, just with better grammar.

Funny how KC Shox over zealously defends the team he has blasted all year when a reasonable poster from our opponent shows up.

Not sure why another shocker is so mad. Hell, half of Kansas cant spell Pittsburgh right.

Leave the poster bashing to Fever and Cold. Their sense of smell of a troll is much better.

What is a Cardinal?

Sorry, for the troll question. That's the number one question WSU fans get when talking to other fans.

What does Louisville do on offense to get shots....Off-ball screen or primarily pick and roll?

Pickle roll. And no, they're not just happy to see you, that's a pickle in their pockets.

Thanks for coming by, Joneildu. You've got to understand Shocker fans have heard nothin but naysayers for three weeks now. Some people take things a little personally. You've backed up your feelings with facts. I appreciate that. it will be a fun game. We haven't seen pressure like yours and I don't think you've seen defense like ours. At least not for a few weeks.

[shoxlax]

Sauce, you are bad.

I went back and read your other post too.

[Joneildu]

About 30% of their offense comes off turnovers. When they arent getting baskets in transition or at the line, they use the high ball screen quite a bit. Siva will dart into the lane and make something happen. I would swear 90% of those plays (that end in points) end in one of three ways.

1. Siva hits the 4 (Behanan or Harrell) on the baseline and they get an easy dunk or fouled (very first play of the Duke game)
2. Siva hits Russ or Luke or Wayne on the elbow for a three
3. Siva gets a step and shoots a short jumper or drives in for a layup/foul

The offense isn't complicated and I don't really have a reason as to why teams have a hard time stopping it.
