Nothing But Net: The Defining Moment in Kentucky Sports

Nothing But Net usually deals with a fair amount of artifice. Not with malice, but to conjure a theater of the collective sports fan’s minds. Nothing of the sort is needed now, as we are less than 40 hours to the tip off of the Final Four meeting between the University of Louisville Cardinals and […]

Nothing But Net: Unthinkable Meets Unstoppable

Dream Game Deux tips off Saturday, March 31st at 6:09 p.m. The game only the die-hards believed could happen, will happen when the University of Louisville Cardinals square off against the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Few give U of L much chance, myself included, but I’m looking forward to seeing the nation’s college hoops leader […]

Nothing But Net: Cards Among Elite 8

Words fail me. The above photo by by Christian Petersen/Getty Images, is testament to the game’s defensive focus. Louisville’s Gorgui Dieng anchored a smothering Cards’ defense and Chane Behanan added 15 points, all in the second half, to allow Louisville to rip top-seeded Michigan State. The Spartans are the first one seed to fall. Stay […]

Nothing But Net: SWEET!!!

Our area’s three major Division One basketball programs are still dancing in the Sweet 16. Sweet, indeed. UK shows no signs of slowing down their sprint to the National Championship. It also appears that Super Frosh, Anthony Davis will be the runaway National Player of the Year. Louisville surprised, no make that stunned many, myself […]

Nothing But Net: Cards Big East Tournament Champs

Coach Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals, a team we discounted and even the hometown crowd had written off after a 33-point loss to Providence in January, topped Cincinnati 50-44 to win the Big East tournament title. Here’s how they did it. Mike Marra, torn ACL, out all year; Rakeem Buckles, torn ACL, out since […]

Nothing But Net: Is the Cards’ Season Over?

Chane Behanan’s missed dunk in the second half of Wednesday’s debacle, is a pretty good icon for the night, and the last 5 games for the Cardinals. An inability to score. It’s also the fourth game in the last five that Louisville has failed to score more than 57 points; the Cardinals have lost three […]

Nothing But Net: Cards’ Hearts Broken

Last week was one of the best of the season in College Basketball. Unfortunately, Matt was sick, and we didn’t get to offer our in-depth take on all the wonderful trends and, of course, games. Now? We’re both sick. Louisville squandered a perfect opportunity for the taking to knock off the number two team in […]

Nothing But Net: Taking Stock, with c.d. kaplan

Louisville basketball fans received a “week off” with the Cards idle until this Saturday’s tilt against Rutgers. Time to let the furor over this year’s team’s deficiencies and injuries die down a bit. Who’s emerged as U of L’s MVP and Most Improved Players? Who’s the biggest bust? Can this team emerge with a win […]

Nothing But Net: with Special Guest, Rick Howlett

If it wasn’t for bad luck… UFF!! You know how the old saw goes. Now, Louisville’s continued free fall from national prominence becomes an even harsher reality with forward Rakeem Buckle’s ACL injury. An injury that keeps him off the hardwood until the 2013-14 season. IF he stays around. Rak hurt his knee in Monday’s […]

Nothing But Net: Can Cards’ Freefall Be Fixed?

The last two days’ worth of discussions on the state of Rick Pitino’s Cardinals has centered around what’s wrong, how low can they go and can the slide be stopped? Nor does talk of the slump seems like an over-reaction; 1-4 in the last five games is cause for alarm. 1-3 in the Big East […]

Nothing But Net: Slipping Away

Is the Cards’ season slipping away? Dunno. I do know Matt looked at me last night after we’d taped yesterday’s Nothing But Net and said, “What if they lose to Providence tonight?” What if, indeed. Last night’s game looked like there is something seriously wrong, attitude and psyche wise, with the 2011-12 Cards squad. And […]
