PrintConnecticut Huskies at Louisville Cardinals, Feb 6, 2012 7:00 PM EST
If you're like me and were more than ready to overreact to a two-game UConn winning streak that came against teams missing a key player, I have some bad news: Gorgui Dieng is expected to play tonight, so UConn is going to have to earn this one.
Louisville is probably my least favorite Big East opponent. Their press is frustrating to play against (and UConn's lack of depth in the backcourt isn't going to help) and when they get into the halfcourt they switch to an annoying zone. If UConn struggles to break the press and continues to falter from outside-- both are real possibilities since the Cardinals have one of the top 10 defenses in the country according to Ken Pomeroy -- this could be a long night.
UConn will once again be starting their three-guard lineup, which I'm all for, and the trio will be joined by Andre Drummond and Tyler Olander, whose starting spot is a reflection of his passing skills and zone-breaking ability.
This is also game two without Jim Calhoun, the Huskies traditionally do well under George Blaney in short bursts, but the longer Calhoun is away from the team the more likely it is that everything will go to pot. Let's hope enough of Calhoun's magic influence is still with the team.
The optimist in me is staying focused on the positive attitudes on display against Seton Hall and is hoping against hope that this is the start of UConn being what we all hope they could be. The realist in me looks at Louisville and sees a talented and aggressive team that has won four in a row after a rocky start to their Big East schedule. A win would be great, especially with a road trip to Syracuse looming.
The game tips off at 7 from the KFC YUM! Center. ESPN and ESPN3 will have your tv coverage, and we'll be discussing it in the comments here. Join us. Go Huskies.

Did you know
UConn has the No. 1 SoS in the nation and is 5-2 against the RPI top 50? Granted, the RPI is bullshit, but still….
And yes, anything good gleaned from that is washed out by the fact that UConn is 10-5 against teams outside the Top 50
I feel like it's impossible to have the #1 SoS while only having played 7 top 50 games.
Unless it counts the ~5 games left we have against the top 50.

Glad Bilas had our back
on that non-call on Jeremy. If they’re going to call him for charges any time he goes to the rim, they have to call that when he avoids the charge.

We are great at FG% defense because our bigs sell out to go for block/contested shots…which then means we suck at defensive rebounding.

Is a better shot blocker than I would have thought.

Shot clock definitely should've reset there, no?
Also, look at DD contributing. He nearly finally had a 3 fall for the first time in decades.

These refs
This is not a well-officiated game either way so far. Somehow a mix between WWE refs and UFC judges.

How's this for a drinking game
Drink for every extra step Peyton Siva is allowed to take on a non-shot
The best part about roscoe's game is
we might reasonably be preseason top-ten next year.
Assuming we can play with a ton of 3s and no 2s.
So is Louisville playing nba rules?

This whole fucking 2nd half is fucking bullshit. I mean, shameful, smelly, maggot-ridden bullshit.
I’m done with this shitty game. I haven’t turned a game off early in about ten years, and even then, it wasn’t with 8 fucking minutes left. You know, show some balls. Fucking ridiculous. If your team sucks, your team sucks. This team doesn’t suck, they just play like it.

Similar to this...
I’m trying to decide if I should watch the game on Saturday.. I didn’t watch any of the Seton Hall game and had been watching the shitty games prior and this one.
So its either me or Seton Hall sucks and didn’t have Pope. Couldn’t be me right?

Signs of hope
1) This half sucked, but a decent amount of it was flukey shit like Louisville getting super hot from 3
2) Ponta’s notion above that UConn might just be in a collective shooting funk is an idea I can get behind
3) Playing Louisville always sucks
4) Jim Calhoun will fucking kill Blaney if he pulls this no timeout shit again
5) Roscoe and Boatright have been nasty tonight.
It's not much
but it’s there, and when we shoot 9-16 from 3 against Syracuse and win on Saturday I’m going to be the most annoying person on the internet.

And like that
UConn gets a few breaks, goes on a little run…
Again, doesn’t matter for the outcome, but this Louisville team isn’t that much better than UConn

Just eight more four-point plays and we got this shit

Shameful performance. Can someone get through to these guys before Saturday?

Somebody Help Me Out
Why am I getting up at 5 AM on Saturday to drive to the Carrier Dome?
to make fun of their silly mascot?
