Pitino filling up his "excuses bank."

[Dr. H Lecter]

Dean won't be playing so that down the road we will hear....."sure we lost to UCON but Dean was hurt."

"Sure we lost 12 games...but Dean was hurt"

"The NCAA understands that we are a different team today with a healthy Dean and Freshman who are now grown-up...."

Rick, we are not stupid. We know what you are pulling with this situation.

[NOknee6of7]

Uh, he is the leading scorer. It IS an excuse. What's funny is you have NO injured players, MORRIS THE SAVIOR is back....and you still suck *** and lost 3 in a row to UNRANKED teams. But hey, you beat #78 Georgia, so things are really looking up!

If you guys didn't have your leading scorer you would do the same.

Yes we did. Sims (back injury). Crawford had knee problems and it even resurfaced earlier this week.

Sorry your Cards have a bleak outlook!

[NOknee6of7]

Boy...those are some serious losses there. Wait....who did you say again???

[NotFrank]

You know Joe Crawford, the same Crawford that posterized Padgett? I believe he dropped fifteen on the Vile and two "big ones" on Padgett's chin. Surely you remember him. Padgett does.

[NOknee6of7]

Yeah I specifically remember Woo clearing a lane illegally for Crawford. Of course it wasn't called with the home cookin and all. You know how that works though.

[NotFrank]

No Woo in this picture:

I DON'T LIKE IT..I DON'T LIKE IT ALL .

Is what I read a week before thegame. UL fans knew it was going to be tough Now UL fans are making excuses that it was the refs and illegal stuff.

(UK FANS MAKE THEM AS WELL BY THE WAY) :thumbup

I look at the ENTIRE quotes made by ALL fans not just the part I want to read and what I want to comprehend. (that is why I say Rickdacatkiller is a UL fan I respect because he tells it like it is .. mainly like I do)

Dean makes a difference for a team.. Patrick hitting his shots makes a difference for our team.. but Woo's "illegal" screen in homerville did not cost you 20 points.:tongue

UK won by12 but it was a 16-18 point game75% of the game.

0-0 at the beginning and 12 point at the end..THE TRUTH

[TrueblueCATfan]

BUt wait.................Slick Rick said there was NO MORE EXCUSES...........straight from the horses mouth..............no more injury excuses...no more we are young.......we need to win or we are going to the NIT..............WOW...now you have2 lying coaches

If Woo bitchslapped your team you have bigger problems than Deans 416 injury.

He might be your teams leading scorer but in the big games that I have seen he either gets into foul trouble early or is a non factor. He has padded his stats against your cupcakes this year in my opinion he is not the best player on that team right now he just gets the most shots because he is DEAN. :lol:

guys lets face it, neither team is worth crap this season...bottom line.

With morris we lost to Vandy (his first game back) and then to ALA where he had like 19 points. We stink with him or without him. Whats your excuse?

Pitino is throwing this game by not playing Dean who has been seen on campus walking perfectly fine. He is being held out because a loss without Dean in the line-up is more "acceptable" to your lemmings than a loss with him at 90% in the line-up.

He is creating an "asterisk" portion of losses in your schedule that he hopes the NCAA will buy on selection Sunday.

"Yea they lost these games but Dean was OUT of the game" (not in the game at 90%). The hope is that this argument will make a difference if you all are playing better at the end of the season.

I couldn't agree more...

Well at least I think we will make the NCAA tournament whether it is a 10/11 seed or a little higher. I have serious reservations about UL because they just can't compete in the Big East. If the UCONN game had not ended when it did the Huskies would have beaten the Cards 25 to 30 points as UCONN began pulling away. All of this after the Game day show on ESPN when Rick said "we have to beat Connecticut over and over like a broken record. It didn't happen and if he is to avoid the NIT he had better come up with another spin on why UL should even be in the NCAA this year.

[surveyor]

When are games supposed to end? :P

In march Surveyor. Maybe we and UL will do a little better by then. I have my doubts about UL though.:lol:
