Player intros

Postby Hoop Fan » Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:34 am

What was up with Louisville players not coming out for player intros or shaking hands with LB? Never seen that before.

thought that was really bizarre and disrespectful. LB was waiting for handshakes and the whole team put their back to him. I've never seen a team do that.

Tried to do a Psyche job. Takes away fans chanting stuff like "who cares" and "so what." Keeps his players focused on the moment and not on the fans.

I think there is no doubt Louisville was psyched for this game and we got their best shot. Russ smith had a career half even for a great player, those shots were ridiculous. The defense was not bad.

They have been taught the meaning of class and respect by their coach.

See the unguarded dunk at the end as well.

They did all make it a point to watch our intro video. Probably psyches them up just as much

Kind of like booing an opposing team when they enter the arena.

He did not do that to psyche his team up but to take away psychological distractions.
