Louisville is going undefeated this year. Guarantee it.

I'm sure a lot of you either saw this video or heard about the quote when Chane Behanan basically guaranteed that his team would run the table.

“We’re the No. 1 team in the country in my eyes. .. We’re going undefeated. Point blank, period.”

Since he said this, they've gone 3-4, including last night's dismantling by the tune of 90-59 Providence. Good going, Chane. I don't know if it's funnier that they lost 11 days after he said this, or that they've lost 4 times since.

That's what he gets for using a trademark Scoopism without giving proper credit.

Did anyone watch the game?

IT seems to me like jsut flat out bad coaching. L’Ville is built around Pitino’s full court pressue. Providence, to me, is the kind of team built to give that pressure problems. So, did L’Ville eventaually leave the press behind, or did Pitino just simply press harder as they fell down more?

According to the their sbnation site

They played a 2-3 zone most of the game, and Providence ate it up. Couldn’t get the press set because they couldn’t make shots. They are a WRECK over there right now.

That's like us

the past few years in January. We just seem to lose to tough teams at this point. Of course right now, we ARE the tough team.

They actually seemed to start out mostly 2-3

and pressed more AFTER the lead climbed into the 20’s. Also didn’t help that Siva fouled out with 12 minutes to go, stupidly on a 3 pointer.

Russ Smith and Pitino seem to be having some ego problems..

I believe he played less than five minutes last night and was shown arguing with pitino like waiters did with jimmy B last season. If pitino feels the need to bench his star player to prove a point, he could not have picked a worse time. This is the same russ smith that scored 31 on kentucky and single handedly kept them from losing by 25 at Rupp. Ville may have a uconn type season, minus the whole 11 straight wins to end the season. How does your starting PG foul out with 11 minutes left in the game? Siva is no Sosa, behanan is no terrance williams. Ville is a pretender, an overhyped in at that.
