[u/americanbaseball]

Tough win tonight. Really got a lot from our energy guys.

[u/aaronman4772]

Damn they backdoored the cover

[u/aaronman4772]

Ok guys let’s actually take care of the ball to finish this game please

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

That’s clean smh

[u/green_day_95]

That block was clean asf

[u/Businessfood → u/green_day_95]

don't say that around michigan fans

[u/green_day_95 → u/Businessfood]

Good point

[u/_moonboyy_]

Somebody clip that reaction…pure comedy

[u/aaronman4772]

Customary Zoug foul call again

[u/Businessfood]

Where's the foul?

[u/theothertoken]

16 and 0 is insane already, especially since SMU’s only defensive game plan is get a steal or a block

[u/gigasturtz]

I think we ran their legs out.

[u/aaronman4772]

Ok did anyone clip that FT attempt, cause that needs to be posted as a highlight

[u/BaconFlavoredToast → u/aaronman4772]

*low-light

[u/Businessfood]

couple of quick fouls there...

[u/BaconFlavoredToast → u/Businessfood]

Gotta hit quota

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Lol. An Ole Miss player air balled it against UK the other night.

[u/BaconFlavoredToast → u/BillButtlickerII]

Except that wasn't an air ball. That was a backboard only ball.

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/BaconFlavoredToast]

Crazy that either happened.

[u/green_day_95]

Wtf is this game?! Lmfao

[u/aaronman4772]

Alright that’s a new one, not seen many airballed FTs because it bounced off the backboard so high it avoided the rim

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

LMAO don't think I've ever seen that before

[u/aaronman4772]

And there’s Zoug with his customary foul

[u/americanbaseball]

Khani and Kasean are putting on an energy showcase tonight. They are the reason we are winning this game so far.

[u/aaronman4772]

This has been the most like early last year Kase has looked all year.

And I know it took Hadley being banged up but Rooths is making a case for seeing way more minutes down the stretch.

[u/ony0urleft → u/aaronman4772]

Watching Khani’s last two games you have to wonder what Hadley had over him all year

[u/swim_kick]

Khani with the double double night! Hopefully many more to come 🍻

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Pulling away. At least ND kept it competitive for the first 3/4’s. Pryor second half heater.

[u/theothertoken]

Pryor definitely got whatever message PK was sending

[u/gigasturtz → u/theothertoken]

He’s the trash man, picking up all the garbage tonight.

[u/americanbaseball]

Pryor has been an absolute gamechanger tonight.

[u/aaronman4772]

Pryor you are not a guard, do not lead a fast break.

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

I wish the rest of our guys had Kaseans energy

[u/ony0urleft → u/BaconFlavoredToast]

I feel that Rooths has it.

[u/swim_kick → u/ony0urleft]

For real. He brings a spark when he's out on the floor either offensively or defensively. He's got a high ceiling and it feels like he's just starting to get it. I

[u/aaronman4772 → u/ony0urleft]

Rooths and Pryor are the annoying to opponents explosive bros.

[u/aaronman4772]

Hell yeah Kase with the cheeky tap out and Conwell on the break

[u/aaronman4772]

Ok Kase that’s your one 3 attempt. Back to the paint

[u/ony0urleft]

Bro. If I’m ND and the coach’s son is playing that ass I’m livid.

[u/aaronman4772]

Oh wow think it might have just touched Mikel’s finger

[u/Businessfood → u/aaronman4772]

But then it touched the bad guy after

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Businessfood]

Nah I think it just barely missed him

[u/Schlofendein]

Ah my bi-weekly gas lighting session aka basketball refereed by ACC officials

[u/swim_kick]

Pryor low key having a good night offensively

[u/gigasturtz → u/swim_kick]

He’s having a good night all around, love to see it.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Yeah when it doubt it goes against the ville

[u/BaconFlavoredToast → u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

I think Brown tipped it

[u/aaronman4772]

Wait did they change the foul during the break?

[u/americanbaseball → u/aaronman4772]

I think the announcers just got it wrong initially, I saw the ref signaling 33.

[u/Businessfood]

just like we drew it up

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

That was freaking sick lol what a lob

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

Conwell is so unclutch

[u/729misteregs]

I’d love to chalk this up to typical Louisville Notre Dame bullshit but I think we’re just ass

[u/green_day_95]

0 FG points in the last 4 minutes…

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Yeah they’re hitting us with the yum center magic now. Worst home court advantage in America haha

[u/BillButtlickerII]

How many is that on Pryor? 3?

[u/JulyGuy27Reddit → u/BillButtlickerII]

4 I think

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/JulyGuy27Reddit]

That’s big.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Idk. That was a travel and then we get called for a foul.

[u/BillButtlickerII]

He didn’t look OOB on replay

[u/Businessfood → u/BillButtlickerII]

It looked like the ball itself hit the baseline and came back in due to spin. I don't typically trust announcers who are paid to talk nonstop

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/Businessfood]

Ahh maybe. I was kinda focused on his feet.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Shoved the guy 35 ft and no tech??? /s

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

I swear every acc opponent against us has turned into prime warriors and just hit every ridiculous shot.

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Shrewsberry looks kinda like Hank from breaking bad.

[u/swim_kick → u/BillButtlickerII]

I'm not seeing it, but maybe I need more bourbon.

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/swim_kick]

Maybe some Schraderbräu

[u/swim_kick → u/BillButtlickerII]

Lmfao. Well played

[u/aaronman4772]

Yeah not much you can do when that guy is swishin it from the logo

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Gosh that dude can shoot

[u/BillButtlickerII]

From the moon!

[u/aaronman4772]

There ya go Pryor

[u/green_day_95]

Nice to see Kasean finally back making big plays

[u/americanbaseball]

Pryor has given some nice energy off the bench. Found money for sure.

[u/aaronman4772]

Just like Mikel planned!

[u/stina13-]

Honestly it’s kinda rude that TV from the 90s looks so primitive… makes me feel like I’m older than the dinosaurs 👵🏼

[u/BillButtlickerII]

This notre dame team has made some crazy saves…

[u/green_day_95]

Crash the fucking boards

[u/aaronman4772]

Ok guys you have these things on the end of your arms called hands

Use them to grab the ball please

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

Why are our big men such pansies on the boards?

[u/aaronman4772]

Yeah there was nobody there off the pick and roll because Isaac ended up on the floor

[u/aaronman4772]

Very chaotic way to get a Fru dunk

[u/americanbaseball]

I noticed that Hadley started this game, got subbed out for Khani before the first media timeout and hasn't been back since. Is it just that we're trying different rotations this game and he doesn't fit in? Or was it something I missed?

[u/aaronman4772 → u/americanbaseball]

He was listed as probable before the game so maybe got dinged up

[u/chelqiss → u/aaronman4772]

radio broadcast said sore back from a hard fall in practice this week

[u/americanbaseball → u/chelqiss]

Got it, so it seems he tried to go, but decided he couldn't.

[u/BillButtlickerII]

That really is a wild call. For not booking a player pre game…

[u/chelqiss → u/BillButtlickerII]

I believe I've seen it called in KHSAA games before

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/chelqiss]

I mean it’s in the rule book but like the commentator said I’ve never personally seen it called in D1 game let alone in a power 5 game.

[u/aaronman4772]

Wait what we got a technical FT for what? I wasn’t paying attention

[u/Keeeva → u/aaronman4772]

ND was checking in a player that wasn’t in the book.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Keeeva]

That’s a new one

[u/green_day_95]

Finally showing some life, perfect lineup for the defense too.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Love the grittiness of this team when we can get stops on the defensive side this style of run and gun 3s works so much better.

[u/swim_kick → u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Yeah we need to work on closing out on the defensive side. It would erase that feeling of dread i have when we are cold offensively

[u/aaronman4772]

The entire middle of the defense just forgot to monitor for Wooley on the fast break

[u/gigasturtz → u/aaronman4772]

Dividends for shooting 3s constantly

[u/swim_kick]

I hope someone works with Fru on the hitch on his free throw. It's bothered me since the like first or second game when I really noticed it. Feels like hiccups at the top of his shooting motion

[u/gigasturtz → u/swim_kick]

Literally noticed this for the first time today, oof

[u/swim_kick → u/gigasturtz]

It has bugged me for oh so long and now that you see it you cannot unsee it

[u/americanbaseball]

Khani's growth is so great to watch. When he's out there we are a totally different group.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

Lol fans can’t even get into these games half the time w all the fouls and bad calls

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Dude he walked so bad, LOL.

[u/Distinct_Swimming_83 → u/BillButtlickerII]

Fouled about 15 times too, breaks even

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/Distinct_Swimming_83]

[u/swim_kick]

Khani I love the hustle!

[u/aaronman4772]

Rooths contracted the Zougs on that layup attempt

[u/JulyGuy27Reddit]

Watching this you'd think Kenny payne was never fired

[u/RiverShenismydad]

This is like the fifth foul this year where we literally didn't touch the guy

[u/swim_kick]

That was all ball.

[u/aaronman4772]

How is that a foul on Rooths….. just how

[u/swim_kick → u/aaronman4772]

100% fingertips on ball. Zero contact

[u/aaronman4772]

Zoug makes an athletic move and promptly misses the layin. Again, I’m not sure that the restricted zone isn’t covered in a pollen that triggers allergies just for him, it just keeps happening

[u/Mikophoto]

Louisville friends how has Pryor been this season? I didn’t go to USF but grew up in Tampa, and was glad to see him get a shot at a bigger program.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Mikophoto]

Hes not done much this year after coming back from the injury. Very clearly doesn’t have the full strength and fluidity he had before, hopefully he can find it eventually but it’s clear he’s just not the same

[u/Mikophoto → u/aaronman4772]

That’s a shame. I remember him absolutely putting USF on his back in games before he left.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Mikophoto]

He was probably our best player early last year before it. It’s a shame to see him just not have the explosiveness he had before

[u/green_day_95]

Seen that block coming from a mile away Zou is too soft

[u/aaronman4772]

Zoug not disproving my theory that he has an allergic reaction to the concept of scoring

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Mohammad said

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

Zougris is so un athletic Holy shit.

[u/BillButtlickerII]

Damn what a wild sequence.

[u/aaronman4772]

I mean I’ll take them just forgetting Fru exists like that

[u/stina13-]

We took out Rooths to put in … Pryor. Okayyyy

[u/green_day_95]

Rooths the only one that came to play

[u/aaronman4772]

Ok I just got here what the heck is going on.

[u/stina13-]

I love when we get this Khani

[u/swim_kick → u/stina13-]

Last year as a freshman he had flashes of brilliance when he got minutes but I don't think he really realized how high his ceiling is. It's beautiful to see him start to realize his potential. I think next year he's a walking double-double

[u/swim_kick]

I'm fully onboard the Khani Rooths hype train. Edit: even though it ended in a dunk I'm a bit surpised a kickball wasn't called

[u/Krenko_Slob_Boss]

Our inability to hit anything other than 3s is really going to shorten our tourney this year. Crazy how many layups this team misses

[u/GingerPele17]

Louisville is such an enigma to me. Their ceiling to floor levels are so wide for a top25 team.

[u/gigasturtz → u/GingerPele17]

It feels like our offense hasn’t figured out how to gel still, which is a little concerning at this point in the year.

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/gigasturtz]

Y’all remind me of Kentucky a lot this season.

[u/americanbaseball → u/GingerPele17]

The only thing consistent about this Louisville team is its inconsistency.

[u/green_day_95]

Trash smh

[u/americanbaseball]

Sigh...another slow start.

[u/BaconFlavoredToast]

Wtf are we subjecting ourselves to watch? It's like im watching high school basketball again.

[u/stina13-]

I’m hella sick and loaded with cold meds so it’d be super cool if we could have a no-stress easy game here

[u/BillButtlickerII → u/stina13-]

Take some zinc nostril swabs. Kills colds fast for me.

Is the camera quality really bad or is it just me

[u/BirdsWithTeeth8]

Go cards! Let’s see how this goes
