Official Shocks vs LSU game thread

ESPN replay goes to commercial at the under 16, returns to the game at the under 12....

espn did not exactly shine today.

[ShockingButTrue]

Overall I thought our Shocks played a pretty decent all around game. Our defense really took LSU out of their game. Offensively we shot the 3 ball good for the second game in a row. Good to see Conner hit a few along with Landry and even Nurger showing his range. Kelly seems to be playing with more confidence on the offensive side which is huge, because he's always played good defense and rebounds good. Shaq was alittle off today, we need him to be consistent and stay away from those silly fouls. Love our depth and overall athleticism. We're only going to get better.

I thought Shaq did a pretty good job causing his man to work hard (for boards) and stay too busy to make us pay...

Wouldn't it just SUCK if the Cardinals lay an egg tonight and we have to face ODU?

On the other hand, should they win and we face them tomorrow, and play the way we have for the first five games of the season and kick their ass, I'm sure everyone will point to the short turnaround Louisville was faced with by the schedulers...

Good grief, I really didn't think it was a possibility at the time and scary how close Loiusville came to blowing it yesterday.

Dont expect UL to make the same mistakes today. They will play better today.

I expect both teams to be dialed in today and a tough, hard-nosed defensive, close game. ESPN has to be loving this matchup, knowing it's a Final Four rematch. Let's roll.

"►Deja vu all over again: As if a trip to the Battle 4 Atlantis alone didn't bring back enough memories from the 2012-13 season, Louisville gets an added familiarity on Thursday, with a 2:30 p.m. rematch against its 2013 Final Four foe. Wichita State is the same scrappy, physical, aggressive team that it was those few seasons ago, but the Shockers aren't the darlings of college basketball any longer. They (WSU) have established themselves as a perennial power, and Louisville knows it is in for another slugfest."
