Quite the meltdown by UC there. Not over, though...

exhale...
UC manages to pull out the win. They'll be top 10 now.
My heart rate is still about 175. It has been for about 25 minutes. I may not make it through the night.

Thought UC was gonna blow it there... Kilpatrick is nails.
Sweet to get some redemption on the hard court in their house.
Onward and upwards, Cats.

A win over Louisville is always extra sweet. 20-2. Go Cats!

This team just has that special feel to it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but they are just one of those teams that you can't help but love.
I hope everyone takes time to enjoy this run. 13 in a row with 9 of those conference wins is very impressive no matter who you are.
Final thought, kudos to Louisville for not giving up when they were down 17 in the second half. That was an incredible run to get back into the game.
That was fun. Beating Louisville is great and all, but beating them at the Yum center in front of 22,000 is incredible. That's not an easy feat when they throw that kind of pressure at you and the crowd's rocking. Senior leadership came through in a big way last night. I absolutely love this team, they have already exceeded my expectations coming into the season.

He sure is. It's been a long long time since we've had a player like that
I guess the Temple game was just a run through.
It looks like quite a few teams above UC in the polls took on a loss this week so I think we could be looking at a nice jump
That 2nd half in Philly doesn't happen if Jackson hadn't sprained his ankle and watched from the bench. It forced Cronin to move Rubles to the 5 defensively when he otherwise would have been guarding Pepper. UC lacks depth in the front court due to NCAA clearinghouse issues and the Lawrence injury, which makes Jackson all the more vital. Nyarsuk isn't athletic enough to be relied on for more than 10-12 minutes.
Help and depth is on the way for next year though. UC is going to be as long and athletic at the wings and on the posts as they've been in my memory.

Ugly game, but after the big Louisville game it's not surprising we were flat. A win is a win.
