Didn't Ayo have one in back to back games?

The last one was Ayo. The one before that was Ayo
My eyesight is about half as good as it used to be so I assume the 3 I still see in the TO column is actually an 8 which in itself is pretty amazing. But it can't be 3....could it...I mean....really....help me out here...its just poor vision...right?
Louisville is 0-7.
Good free throws, Skyy. Much better arc on those.
I don’t think anyone is freaking out about this game. I think people (myself included) are concerned with our strategy to shoot so many threes when they aren’t dropping and the poor free throw shooting. That will cost us against a good team, and this is thankfully not a good Syracuse team.

Louisville just might be the worst team in D1 this year…
HAHAHAHA, Fran: Good Pass. Syracuse player launches it 10 rows into the stands. Fran: Whoops. I don't mind that.
Shannon is 4 of 15....which is not good even if all of them are from 30.
90% of what we're doing wrong tonight is missing open shots and free throws. That's not exactly a lack of coaching or effort, it's just a thing that happens sometimes. The fact that they've broken it open in spite of having a bad shooting night says more about this team than the shots they've missed, I think.
Did I just hear Fran say that he thinks Painter is a better coach than Tony Bennett?
Agree. Not freaking out just concerning to see our guys not adjust when the shots are not falling. And, like, you almost have to try to purposefully miss 7 out of 12 free throws. Hit just 4 more of those and it's nearly a 20 point game.
Louisville is the Washington Generals of collegiate basketball. I think we'll kick Maryland's !!! just fine.
That is true and they the turtles don't employ a zone and they have little to no depth, still we have to play better than this to win
Your right.... but much better than about 16 % for the rest of the team and some of them are for 3 for Shannon!
There's the spurt! Defense and getting out on the run sparking it!
In the 'finding abnormally tall human beings even for college basketball players' category, it's a gimme.
RJ! Let’s go!
