UL will be 'UP' for this game. Big game for Louisville , and trying to stop what could be UConn running the table on the regular season. But I think UConn will also be Up for the game even if it is at UL. I think UConn will prevail but it will be a tough contest.
I don't get this, Louisville will be up for the game crap. If Louisville plays against any team, much less a conference team, much less a ranked team, much less a No. 1 ranked team and it's news that they'll be up for the game, why will it be news? UConn manages to play high quality ball, game after game, season after season, regardless of whom they are playing. It's the coaches job to instill in these kids the willingness to play their best, regardless of their opponent. Why should it be a shocker that a teams coaching staff would have them playing at a high level all the time. If any coach doesn't prepare his or her team to play up to their potential and allows them to vary their efforts based on the quality of the team they're encountering, they're doing their kids a disservice. They are also doing their opponent a disservice because these kids are competitive and want their opponents to give them their best to test their own mettle.
