Captain Kangaroo Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 The Louisville game in on traditional satellite TV. WHAS in Louisville is carrying it. They have the satellite coordinates posted on the the Cardinals' web site. Anyone know of a bar in Akron that still gets "big dish" satellite feeds?

Big Zip Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 It's also on 786 on Direct TV the ESPN full court package. I imagine most bars have that package as opposed to a large dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipboy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Listened but did not see the game, so I am anxious to get others opinions. Glad to hear KD in the post game. Looks like we need to change our attitude and play some D. Remember last year when we hit MAC play, our D was suffocating at times. Same guys, we should not be that soft this year. We played solid D early in the year and Louisville is Louisville. I am going to chalk it to up to a bad day. Study hard for finals, and win a few in Puerto Rico! One other comment, KD mentioned playing some guys who play better D and sacrificing some offense. Possibly less minutes for DP and Bubba and more for Cedric?

msopher Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Looks like Akron lost by over 20 but Coach Pitino was impressed with the Zips. He had some nice things to say after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Watching the Louisville game I will note the following: * Louisville is a REALLY good basketball team. At #5 in the nation that's obviously not a revalation...but for a "big time school" with seemingly endless top-flight athletes, they played very good fundemantal basketball. Moreso offensively. * The play where Bubba zinged the ball back to the Louisville player after it went through the hoop seemed to be the catylist for Louisville to bury us. While not a vicious play by any stretch, it was very stupid. Put the ball in the hoop and start playing D. Pretty simple. * Louisville certainly had their share of open 3's...but regardless, those bastards never missed! It was a clinic on outside shooting. * Giving up a 111 spot is pretty tragic, but I thought the Zips didn't play all that bad. We were just brutally overmatched athletically. KD seems to think we're capable of playing better defensively. I'll believe it when I see it. If he's going to make any changes, I would guess, as someone stated above, Bubba and DP will be seeing more pine time. Preston and Dials are capable offensively and play much better defense. * I was disappointed to see Dru hoisting up 30-footers at game's end. If Goddard is doing that in garbage time...ok, he's just trying to maximize his 45 seconds on the floor. To see our starting PG do that was disappointing. * Akron won't be the only team Louisville will beat by 20+ this season. I have to believe some Big East schools will fare no better. * Nice to see Travis on the floor for the full game. He played well offensively, but 4 rebounds? He's gotta be good for at least 8 or 9 in games like that. Also...what's up with his 3-pointers? Yeah he can hit one every so often, but that's not his shot. * Does Middleton start taking some of Joyce's minutes? The team has a legit shot to beat a "marquee" team in San Juan. We should get neutral court games vs Mississippi State and Clemson. during the tourney. I hope the Zips shore up the defense and get that marquee win we've all been waiting a lifetime for.

zipboy Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Just a thought, I would not mind seeing Sowers get some minutes in PR to see what he could do. He is pretty athletic and with Conyers out for the year, we need some athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty athletic and with Conyers out for the year, we need some athletes. I completely agree. I also think Sowers is a sleeper and am looking forward to seeing him get some more time. He's an athlete and will defend well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
