Just like they did to MU last year in the Quarterfinals. The key against Louisville is protecting the ball and getting a good shot. Their defensive pressure if off the charts.

the key - as Bilas just alluded to - is how closely the refs call the game. They let Smith and Siva go wild on our guards in Louisville earlier this year and the physicality displayed so far today does not bode well for us
Louisville get's away with a lot of fouls. They slap across the arms and create body contact without getting calls against them. I don't understand why, but I would say that it reminds me of the old Cincy teams. Maybe the officials feel that everyone would foul out, so they don't call anything.
I just think they are impressive.......Love the way they play D....so disruptive..
Oh, I love the way they play D as well. They don't need to get away with the rake across the arm or the body bumps to be successful with that style. When they do get away with it, they are unstoppable, because it is not fair.
The FT line is wide open against the Ville because of high high up their guards pressure and double team. If MU plays them again, after Junior gets the ball across half court, put the ball in Jamil's hands. He'd bigger, not as easy for the Guards to knock it away, and he can pass over the top. Then I have Vander flash across(or Davante) at the FT line, then Vander can either hit his mid range jumper or drive to the hole. Their are ways of beating their D, you just have to find the holes in it, and they are there.
