Some strange stats

* UofL was outscored 40-22 in the paint. 24-10 in the first half.

* 6.4 seconds. The time it took for Villanova stud Maalik Wayns to pick up his 3rd and 4th foul in the second half to send him to the bench.

* 11. The margin the Wildcats fell behind in Wayns' absence.

* 1-10. Jared Swopshire's 3-point percentage on the season before hitting the dagger with 1:12 remaining.

* 34-23. The free throw attempt margin in UofL's favor. Zip it Cards fans! (How bizarre was that? For those that didn't catch it, ESPN analyst Bob Wischusen briefly lost it when UofL fans were roundly booing the refs, in his opinion, undeservedly. He said something like "Louisville fans need to zip it! And zip it now!" It was said with malice, like he turned into a principal for a moment before regaining his composure and going back to generic announcer-speak. Hilarious.

* 20 for 26. Louisville's performance at the FT line in the 2nd half.

  1. The points in the paint is worryiny, esp against a perimeter team like Villanova. We need to focus on getting that balanced ASAP. Gorgui wasn't targeted on enough offensive sets last night.

    That margin would have been a lot closer if Chane had stayed out of foul trouble.

    1. Agreed. With Buckles out Chane needs take his responsibility of staying on the court more seriously. He was so effective when he was in.

  3. Add Russ Smith's 5(!) assists to the list of strange ones. Strange in a good way.
