Louisville vs NC State

[KozmasAgain]

I wonder if this will be a typical Louisville NC State game where it is nip and tuck the whole game?

 

[KozmasAgain]

NC State off to a hot start Cards not so well 16-8 State. We are getting out rebounded at both ends of the court.

 

[KozmasAgain]

1st quarter over State up 23-14 we have to play better bad shots and turnovers. The rebounding has gotten better we also need to play better defense. We sometimes get lost band leave their shooters open.

 

[KozmasAgain]

We have to play a whole lot better defense State is getting way to many outside open shots. We are not challenging them outside almost like we are daring them to shoot. The bad thing is they are knocking them down.

Cards have forgot everything they know about defense.

 

[KozmasAgain]

We end the first half down by 5 we were down by 11. We played better the 2nd quarter but we are still backing off on their outside shooters and they continue to knock them down. We have gotten a lot better on rebounding.

 

[KozmasAgain]

It is simple extend the defense but we are not, our failure to defend the 3 point line will cost us the game.

 

[HiStepper]

Playing on the road is tough.

 

[KozmasAgain]

We cut the lead to 2 and State hits their 3 pointers and we are now down by 11.

 

[HiStepper]

It's the Imari Berry show!

 

[KozmasAgain]

Imari Berry scores 4 times down court in a row hitting 2 three pointers to cut the State lead to 3.

 

[KozmasAgain]

She’s my favorite player she’s talented, high basketball IQ and plays with intensity.

 

[KozmasAgain]

They showed before the game In warmups Hardy dunking the ball. I would love to see her do it in a live game.

 

[PushupMan]

Crap! 4th foul on Berry. She’s going to have to have some help from her teammates here.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Guard the damn 3 point line

 

[KozmasAgain]

Berry back in with 4 fouls 3:41 left I do think they can guard Berry

 

[KozmasAgain]

Imari berry is a world

 

[KozmasAgain]

Don’t be in a zone they have proved they can hit the three

 

[KozmasAgain]

He’ll throw the ball to Berry

 

[KozmasAgain]

Please. Don’t foul

 

[PushupMan]

Helluva ball game. Need a little out of Zeigler here in the OT.

 

[KozmasAgain]

The thing I worry about is Berry has 4 fouls can she go 5 minutes without fouling?

 

[KozmasAgain]

Imari Berry, Imari Berry, Imari Berry rah, rah, rah.

 

[PushupMan]

Did I type Zeigler? I meant Randolph

 

[PushupMan]

Gotta love it. That depth made all the difference in the OT.

 

[Deeva]

This game had me on the edge of my seat…outstanding!

 

[KozmasAgain]

We looked so bad the first 2 1/2 quarters I was already counting it as a loss. Then Berry took over and they had no answer for her. If we would have guarded the 3 point line better this would not have been a close game. However it was a big win to comeback and beat a good team on their home court.

 

[HiStepper]

It is hard on you but I prefer this type of excitement from the women than the 3 or nothing else offense of the men..

Gosh listening to you folks it was if I was right there in NC at the game!! Good reporting guys & Ms. Deeva! I've have it recording and I will definitely
