While some of you will focus on Mick Cronin, I will focus on the players. Their effort, their attention to detail, their teamwork, and how they interact on the floor will tell me everything. In particular I will watch Rashad Bishop, Larry Davis, IT, and Darnell Wilks. Don't think Biggie will play much due the the quickness of the Cardinals but I may be wrong. Darnell could be big in this game if he avoids stupid fouls. His athleticism will be needed. This is their last go round and they need to start owning this team. Whether corporately or one or two stepping up.
I'm hoping they take no more than fifteen three point shots and attack the basket. Louisville will foul an attacking team. I'm praying Yancy comes out motivated but focused. Nobody on the Louisville team is a physical match for him. He should be embarrassed by Sunday's incidents. He can't stand flat footed at the foul line and try to play defense. Dixon needs to show up as well. If his shot is off DRIVE! No matter what your offensive game is like play defense and rebound Mr. Dixon. You can still contribute!! I'd also like to see JP get some minutes at point instead of Dixon.
We Need this game far worse than Louisville. I'll be watching to see if the players want it that bad.
