Cards Look Lost in Season Finale
Posted on 5 Mar 2011 by John Buffone.
Rick Pitino could only do so much in spite of his uninspired team on Saturday. Louisville’s coach did everything but suit himself up in an attempt to knock off West Virginia on their Senior Day. The Cardinals were beat in nearly every statistical aspect yet it took a foul call with .6 seconds left in the game for West Virginia to snatch victory away from the Cards. With less than 10 seconds l...

Card-iac Kids Topple Pitt
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by John Buffone.
There’s one very lucky male cheerleader in Louisville right now. As time was expiring in overtime of #16 Louisville’s 62-59 victory over #4 Pittsburgh, Cardinals forward Kyle Kuric decided to put the exclamation point on the game with an emphatic yet unnecessary two-handed slam to make the score 62-57 which sent the crowd at the KFC Yum! Center into a frenzy. The issue however, was that the...

Sloppy Game Favors Cardinals
Posted on 22 Feb 2011 by John Buffone.
If fast-paced and sloppy basketball with turnovers galore is your flavor of choice, you didn’t need to look anything further than Piscataway, New Jersey on Tuesday night. The Louisville Cardinals defeated the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 55-37 in a game that had nearly 30 total turnovers. The Cards jumped on the Knights early (so to speak) with a 7-0 lead that last until the 15:00 minute mark in t...

Resilient Cards Tame Huskies
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by John Buffone.
If you were watching Friday night’s game between Louisville and Connecticut without the assistance of a scoreboard graphic, you would have assumed the game was long over at halftime. However, it took until midway through the second half for the Cards to bust it wide open and defeat the Huskies 71-58. The Cardinals zone defense made a real statement early, forcing the Huskies to go 2 for 12 fr...

Hoyas Humble Cards
Posted on 31 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
It looked like they were going to do it again. For the 4th time this season, the Louisville Cardinals came back from at least a 9-point deficit in the 2nd half to take the lead. However, the magic ran out in the closing seconds and the Georgetown Hoyas were able to defeat the Cards 62-59. It was a big win for the Hoyas who are currently riding a 5-game winning streak. Both teams started the gam...

Card-iac Kids are Contenders
Posted on 31 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
No one told Rick Pitino’s team that they aren’t supposed to compete in the Big East this year. With injuries galore, the Cards have been able to overcome all adversity and pull off two huge wins in the past week. Last Wednesday’s one-point victory over West Virginia was a coming of age win that may have changed the direction of the season. Being down 11 points at halftime, the Cards ralli...

Friars Foil Louisville
Posted on 22 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
The scenario could not have been better for the Providence Friars Saturday night in their 72-67 stunner over Louisville. They were hosting former coach Rick Pitino’s team, Louisville’s offensive playmakers were on the bench, and the Cardinals were ice cold from beyond the arc. The Friars punched it out with the #15 team in the nation the entire game and were assisted by a number of Louisvil...

Cards Weather the Storm
Posted on 20 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
Some anticipated #19 Louisville’s game against St. John’s would be a trap game for the Cardinals. After a huge comeback in their last game against Marquette, it would have been easy for the Cards to have an emotional hangover and slip up against a highly improved St. John’s team that Rick Pitino predicted would win the Big East this year. However, the Cards dominated every aspect of Wedne...

Growing up Before our Eyes
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
After a demoralizing loss to Villanova last week, it would have been easy for the young Louisville Cardinals to simply roll over when they were down 18 points with under six minutes to go in their Friday matchup against Marquette. However, the Cards took a huge step towards becoming what Rick Pitino thinks they can become in the near future by rallying and defeating the Golden Eagles 71-70. “...

Cards are who we thought they were
Posted on 12 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
“Live by the 3 and die by the 3″. This has been the epitaph for the Louisville Cardinals in recent seasons. It’s no doubt that the Cards style of play keeps them dangerous until the clock reads triple zeroes. However, Wednesday’s 88-74 loss to Villanova in Philadelphia exposed Louisville as an all or nothing team that must stay hot from start to finish to win games. The Cards lo...

Balance is Key for Cards
Posted on 9 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
If this is truly a “bridge year” for the Cardinals as Rick Pitino has stated several times so far this season, Louisville has to be considered the best rebuilding team in the Big East if not the country. Thae Cards are currently 13-2 overall and are 2-0 in Big East play. Louisville’s most recent 86-77 victory over South Florida epitomizes how the Cards are going to try to win games this y...
