Discuss.

They will win again 85-80. But will be proud of our boys!

 

[Patriotsince81]

We get hammered by 35.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Even the hookers won't want anything to do with us. We are a year away. No depth.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Sunday Funday!

Neither team breaks triple digits. No 132 for Louisville.

 

[Jack Strop]

If the line is Loiusville -30 then, and only then, I may consider putting down $1. This game may be a good lesson for the Freshmen to see how they need to up their games. I expect to get throttled.

 

[GMUgemini]

I think Otis and Grayer make this "not embarrassing" and we lose by around somewhere between 18 and 20. If the team can keep it within 15, I'd call that a victory.

 

[psyclone]

Kenpom has Louisville by 19.

 

[GSII]

They gotta learn somehow. Getting paid and laid to play is no easy task. What better way to learn from Pitino recruits.

Sagarin has Louisville (ranked #17 nationally) favored by 16. No VegasInsider line as yet, although the matchup is at least listed for Sunday.

 

[Five Two]

We'll get down by 30 and rally to lose by 19 with some garbage buckets at the end to make it look like it wasn't as bad as it really was

Background on Louisville and getting ready for the season. Last 3 paragraphs involve Mason but no analysis.

"Padgett believes George Mason presents a good initial test for the Cardinals. The Patriots return three starters from a 20-14 team, including junior guards Otis Livingston II (14.3 points per game last season) and Jaire Grayer (11.4 PPG)."

"Louisville's hope is that the nerves disappear quickly."

"They're going to come in here ready to play," Padgett said of George Mason. "We're looking forward to it, looking forward to get going and get into that game routine."

Louisville is loaded. I'm afraid we are looking at a 30+ point defeat. But it will be a good learning experience for our guys to play in that hostile environment.

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

I got this message: "THis event is blacked out in your area"

Any other options, even pay ones???

 

[Bricker]

LOL -- listening to the ACC broadcast guys you would have thought Pitino simply retired. Scandal? What scandal? This is merely a "transition year" for Louisville...
