this is a huge test for both teams

nova is playing rediculously small, shouldn't really be able to get away with it but it's entertaining

louisville has to win this to legitimize itself

1/5/2006 7:08:24 PM

hope this is a good game

1/5/2006 7:10:48 PM

dean just picked up his 3rd foul

this could turn in to a blowout

Louisville is not a top ten team. One thing to get beat, but another to be lazy gettin' back on "D" very uncharacteristic of a Pitino coached team.

it's funny to watch all of villanova's guards jump like 3 feet in the air to get a defensive rebound

1/5/2006 7:34:48 PM

That white boy is heating up.

1/5/2006 7:37:15 PM

louisville isnt even a top 25 team

1/5/2006 9:20:30 PM

That is ridiculous to say UofL isn't a Top 25 team after losing to arguably the best team in the country.

Villanova doesn't just win games, they dominate.. against good teams. I'd take them over Duke right now personally.

you guys say this shit everytime a team loses you act like they are soooo bad jsut because they lose a game. you did it with gonzaga ncstate duke (in a win) unc just about everybody.

Foye is right on track to live up to my pick

Um not I. I still think that UConn, Duke, and Villanova are WAY AHEAD of everyone else in D-1... I'm sticking to that all year.

I think we have Top 10 talent though despite one ugly game @ Iowa and I think we'll prove it @ UNC, @ BC, and @ Duke (although we'll lose to Duke it will be a battle)..

1/5/2006 10:00:11 PM

yea I wouldnt say it IF THEY HAD BEATEN SOMEONE OF CONSEQUENCE

1/5/2006 10:19:19 PM

It's one thing to play lousy on the road (us @ Iowa), but on your turf in a conference game @ home? Ability is one thing, but Louisville was extremely lazy in getting back on D, Nova's speed notwithstanding. Even Pitino at half said some of his players weren't the most "cerebral." Getting back on D, boxing out, not playing on tilt the whole 2nd half, these are things anyone, regardless of athleticism, can accomplish. Very little from Louisville to make me think they are top ten...Dean completely gave up after his third foul in the first half....good players handle adveristy, especially at home.....
