Silver lining

If Louisville shoots like that from deep, they beat anyone in the country. We don't drop in ranking or seed with this loss. Learn from it and move on.

I agree. We could've done some things to hang closer, but they weren't getting beat tonight.

If our point guard get unnecessary fouls early we can lose to anybody in the country too.

The fact that we are competing 1 yr removed from a 15 in season says a lot. Take the 3 ball away and its a different game. Lville is very good though, they will make some noise

Most fun game all year. After Frazier's 3, it was as loud as it can get in there. My ears are still ringing.

A top 4 seed would have only occurred by winning out, but you are correct in that it doesn't drop us.

Silver lining:

We get Memphis at Memphis right before tournament in Memphis, so we can get kinda comfy in Memphis.

39 points on 56.5% from 3 point line which is like shooting 84% from 2 point line. You look at SMU stats and you'd think we would have probably won except for Louisville defense which caused an unbelievable number of turnovers

that is absurd, that has to be a Moody record or at least close?

More silver lining:

When not in foul trouble, we were schooling them.

Also, when they beat us earlier in year, that was MK's first start,(no Yannick) and we were within one put back of tying it with 2 minutes to go.

We can definitely play with these guys, need our A game, play smart to beat them.

Losing to Louisville doesn't hurt your RPI much at all.

i think we needed the win to climb up in the seeding a bit. Without it we are probably not going to be above 7 seed - and that will cause us an early issue in the tournament.
