Boys and Girls it must BE VALENTINES DAY because the Love is flowing. For the first time in the HISTORY of the world, BPL, Art, Hall and elnut all agree on a topic in regards to Louisville Basketball. It probably won't last but for now NASA is afraid space stations are going to drop from the sky and Obama has moved us to Defcom 3,567,824

Yes Mark, the only player who can get penetration into the lane needs to do so, and it usually works. You just tend to only notice when it doesn't. Of course we could go with Justice, who has as much business on the court as I do. Heck, I can stand in one spot at the top of the key and pass left, catch ball, pass right, catch ball.
One huge reason we lost that game was because Siva picked up his third foul in the first half and had to go to the bench for the last 8 minutes. Quite frankly, Siva doesn't turn the ball over that much now that he has finally gotten healthy. Free throw shooting and Gorgui's fear of shooting a 15-foot jumper were what beat the Cards.

Even Siva's 3rd foul was a Bonehead play. Senior Team Leader with 2 fouls that his team ABSOLUTELY must have on the floor to have a chance to beat the best team in your league and you reach in from behind when there were 2 of his teammates already defending. Game time, situation, risk and reward should be in every players mind but ESPECIALLY the Sr Point Guard. It cost him Pine Time the rest of the half and the first 5 minutes or so the second half. Bad play on Siva's part

Far as I'm concerned the last play shoulda been drawn up for Behanan period....to drive in and dish to Dieng surrounded by three guy's (in the chest I might add) = fail. Chane was unstoppable in the second half. Siva needs to be smarter if they are going anywhere in March.......................

My mistake, I thought he was a Senior. No doubt he is the straw that stirs the drink. With the Smith Boys, Behenam sp, and the press Louisville may make it to the 2nd weekend of the tourney depending on the draw and whether Siva can stop doing stupid things
Senior Member
Well look at the bright side....You have one more yr with him. MAYBE he will turn into a Darius Miller.

Tim you make good points and I see that to. But if you put all your eggs in one basket that is all you are ever gonna have is ''ONE'' basket. Pitino does not develop players well in my opinion, shining chair top with your ass doesn't make you better. One of the main reasons he doesn't get recruits anymore is because he won't play freshmen.
If I had skills and coming out of high school I would run as far away from that premadonna as I could. Angel Nunez will transfer mark my words. I wouldn't doubt Price does either. Yes they lack in defense but game time will improve that and at lease Nunez can shoot the ball. I'll win the effin lottery before that bonehead Siva finds a jumpshot under a Cowpie. You bust on Justice but at least he TRIES to run some offense without being the ''HERO'' all the time. Besides Pitino has CRUSHED his confidence. He publically makes fun of him all the time, that's BS....
For three or four million dollars a year Jurich, the University of Louisville and especially the fans are not getting their money's worth out of Pitino. We could pay Davenport half that salary and be getting the same thing. Come out to Buckheads tonight I'll be there throwing shell pasta at his ass, you can bail me out if they lock me up, lol.

I will say the collected group shooting fouls was horrible. If the foul shooting was better Louisville wins the game..I still don't understand why ALL college DIV 1 ball players can't shoot free throws???
Senior Member
Dang Mark, don't hold back tell us how you really feel. I havent heard a Louisville fan put down Ricky P like that ever.
Senior Member
Mark, you are buying into the falsehood dude. One of the biggest untruths in the sports world is that Pitino doesn't play freshmen.
Just off the top of my head, freshmen that started at Louisville under Pitino:
Carlos Hurt
Francisco Garcia
Taquan Dean
Terrance Williams
Samardo Samuels
Edgar Sosa
Chane Behanan
Freshman who played significant minutes under Pitino at Louisville:
Larry O'Bannon
Preston Knowles
Earl Clark
Gorgui Deing
Jerry Smith
I am sure there are others I am not thinking of.
If Wayne Blackshear would have been healthy, he would have been starting which would have meant two freshmen starting this season.
Angel Nunez is not going anywhere and neither is Zach Price, they just aren't ready to play this year. They wouldn't play at any big time d-1 program this year.
The thing is, Siva didn't start or get a lot of playing time his freshmen year so this rumor started going around. It is not based on fact, facts prove otherwise, but many media and fans repeat something enough that they start believing it.
As for Justice, the kid is simply not good. He is only on the team because he wants to coach and Pitino gave him an opportunity to walk on. Justice wouldn't start at Murray, WKU, Eastern, Bellarmine or Ballard High School. He cannot do anything that resembles basketball at the division 1 level.
