UL-UConn 1/28/08

Apparently there is a scheduled outage, whatever that means, at 7PM sharp. So, we'll see how it goes. See you at the under sixteen. Hope we get a bunch of T-Will dunks! UL wins, 78-66.

Oh, by the way, the Super Bowl is on Sunday. You know, I wish ESPN would really drive this point home--I can never remember when it is..

10-4, UL
Blogger is fucking lame. This outage has lasted way more than ten minutes and deleted my last two posts. I made fun of T-Will and Rafterty. It was fun. Blame blogger.

10-10, the Bears
So far, T-Will has jacked and missed two threes, thrown an 80 mile an hour pass to Will Scott in transition, walked, and carried the ball. Wait, McDonough just said Sosa was from NY. I hadn't heard that...oh wait, yes I did. Gus Johnson had an anuerism (wow...I just found time to look that up...wow. "aneurysm") proclaiming last year during the tourney. Really wish this outage would end... What in the hell is Rafterty talking about?!?! Still no blogger at the 12 minute mark. Don't they know people have live blogs?!?!

14-13, Ca-yards...I mean UConn
I will refrain from all jokes about the leader of the Huskie hardcores. You guys are assholes. T-Will is the kiss of death; if he passes you the ball, you will be embarassingly rejected...ask E5 and Juan P. I have sat for about three game minutes...nothing is happening. Every shot UConn has made thus far are all similar to shots that I hit to beat the Sigs. Seriously, these guys look shitty, but their shots keep falling. It's been 31 minutes, still no blogger... OK, we're back.

27-25, UL
Don't have much to say here. UConn is making this game about is ugly as possible. It's working, for now. Actaully, UConn is looking a little bit better this stretch. They may not be so awful after all. McDonough just said, "the U of L."

30-30, Half
Looks like the Cards will be in a fight in this one. I think they'll still win, though. Probably going away.

43-40, Huskie hardcores
A gentle reader makes a good point about UL lacking a knock-down three shooter. I think Jerry Smith can be that guy, but UL knows they're supposed to shoot over the zone, they just have trouble taking the right shot. They rarely make the extra pass, but when they do, they hit. Bilas has talked about it a lot; they hoist...especially Terrence. It is starting to be more obvious why UConn has beaten good teams. They have amuch better flow this half. Plus, they are playing some pretty solid D. Wow, UConn employed the most pathetic press break I have ever seen, and they were forced into calling a timeout. Juan P. is just chucking threes, and Bilas is growing restless.

57-48, UConn
UL should be glad that Bilas isn't their coach; they would all get beaten after the game. That press break ending in an and one worked a little better than the other one I spoke of. I don't know why UL fans defend Terrence. He makes awful decisions...I had already typed that before his lazy defense and foul down low...

59-55, UConn
Blue and white man is a tool.

63-61, UConn
If UL, would settle down a little bit and try to go down low to Padgett and Caracter, they should be able to come back. By the way, Preston Knowles is UL's version of Ravi Moss...maybe. Of course Terrence buries the tying three.

67-63, UConn, 1 minute left
This Price guy is hitting everything; he's a pretty good player. Just as I type that, he turns the ball over. Sosa continues to miss free throws at the end of games. Just so you know, Terrence is 2-8 from three tonight.

67-65, UConn, final
Yeah, they should make sure Padgett touches the ball on each possession. Jerry Smith is keeping the Cards in it! UConn does not look comfortable breaking this press. That was a pretty strange ending. Good D on the last possession by UConn...and Jerry Smith didn't get fouled.
