Getting to a Final Four isn’t easy. Along with talent, coaching, and discipline you need that unquantifiable x-factor of being “on” at the right time. Sadly, the Cards were missing that final piece in today’s game against UConn. They missed free throws. They seemed to be a millisecond slow to loose balls and rebounds. Without reviewing the tape I’m going to approximate that a minimum 98% of our shots went in and out. It was not our day.
That said, Louisville would not go away. Every time that it seemed UConn was going to run away with it the Cards would go on a run of their own.
