MI vs. Louisville a rematch of 2013 NCAA title game
MILESTONE NEAR: Louisville sophomore guard Asia Durr has 963 career points and could reach 1,000 if the Cardinals reach Monday’s second round. Over its past eight games, MI is averaging 10.25 threes per game, is taking 25 threes per game and them at a 41 percent clip.
The biggest topic after the loss to Duke in the ACC Tournament was missed free throws by the Cards. One of Pitino’s players apparently got a little confused when he saw Wolfson in the huddle. Was it just a fluke?
In their first NCAA tournament game since the 2015 Elite Eight, two-seed men’s basketball overpowered 15-seed Jacksonville State 78-63.
Elsewhere turned out to be Louisville, which faces MI in a round-of-32 NCAA Tournament game at 12:10 p.m. Sunday here (CBS), with the 6-foot-9 junior forward Johnson expected to fill his normal starting role.
Derrick Walton Jr. and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman played off each other as well as they ever have during Friday’s first-round win over Oklahoma State. He heard the stories about that 2005 game from Johannes Herber, a fellow native of Berlin who played on West Virginia, and from Beilein himself.
And when MI and Louisville met in the 2013 national championship game, Johnson wasn’t cheering on his current team.
“We were fortunate enough to win in overtime”.
In the most damaging instance of legal trouble at Kansas this season, police investigated a reported rape at the dorm that houses the basketball team.
This one was tough.
Quentin Snider had 16 points for Louisville.
Deng Adel smiled covered his face when I asked him about stopping the three. Or Donovan Mitchell, who did a little bit of everything when his shot wasn’t falling.
Christian Cunning had five blocks for the Gamecocks and Drumwright wound up with six assists. “I think it’ll be a heck of a game”. “We knew they were coming”. Now it’ll be a big game against MI. The two coached against each other in the Big East, and again in the 2013 NCAA title game. The Gamecocks jumped out to an 8-0 lead before the Cardinals began to make a run back.
“I left a voicemail and went to Louisville, and I’m really happy I did”.
But after trailing for the first 13 minutes, the Cardinals finally took the lead with an 8-2 late in the first half. King is known as a scorer. But that title game was played during his junior year at Ypsilanti, when college scouts started taking serious looks at him. Baylor is poised to make a run as a No. 3 seed at the same time its football program has imploded because of a rape scandal that one lawsuit claims could have involved 31 different players over four years.
You May Not Have Caught This, But.
Norbertas Giga had a career-high 30 points for Jacksonville State.
Walton pulled Wilson in tight near the top of the key before telling him: “You got this!” The game is a marathon, not a sprint. And they’re lethal, and they’re on a great run right now.
“This is why you come to college”. It also took a lot of effort for them to get out of the trap and beat the press initially.
When the Cardinals got their defense fixed and Jacksonville State (20-15) flummoxed – the devastating combination quickly turned an interesting contest into a decidedly one-sided affair. Michigan’s biggest concern could be its lack of depth.
