How sweet is it to have some of the greatest basketball players in the world playing against one another in the Summertime? Doubly great if it happens only once every four years. Brothers and Sisters, don’t pinch yourself — tune into the 2012 Summer Olympic Games from London, the next two weeks. The greatest basketball […]
The post SPECIAL REPORT: Nothing But Net & The 2012 Men’s Olympic Basketball Team appeared first on 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville.
Nothing But Net usually deals with a fair amount of artifice. Not with malice, but to conjure a theater of the collective sports fan’s minds. Nothing of the sort is needed now, as we are less than 40 hours to the tip off of the Final Four meeting between the University of Louisville Cardinals and […]

Dream Game Deux tips off Saturday, March 31st at 6:09 p.m. The game only the die-hards believed could happen, will happen when the University of Louisville Cardinals square off against the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Few give U of L much chance, myself included, but I’m looking forward to seeing the nation’s college hoops leader […]

State of shock and elation. This year’s team is close. It shows. They are maddening, and they have tremendous “heart,” as Peyton Siva stated recently. Russdiculous. Eric Crawford, the über talented Courier-Journal sports reporter said in today’s column: “Chane Behanan, in the second half against both Michigan State and Florida, was the best post player […]
The post Nothing But Net: “No Rabbit Ears, Russ!” appeared first on 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville.
Words fail me. The photograph above by Christian Petersen/Getty Images, is testament to the game’s defensive focus. Gorgui Dieng anchored a smothering Cards’ defense and Chane Behanan added 15 points, all in the second half, to allow Louisville to rip top-seeded Michigan State. The Spartans are the first one seed to fall. Watch wfpk.org for […]

Our area’s three major Division One basketball programs are still dancing in the Sweet 16. Sweet, indeed. UK shows no signs of slowing down their sprint to the National Championship. It also appears that Super Frosh, Anthony Davis will be the runaway National Player of the Year. Louisville surprised, no make that stunned many, myself […]

Local NCAA hoops afficianado, c d kaplan, joins Matt & Mark to offer his take on all things March Madness. See above? Even Big East Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Louisville’s Peyton Siva, is psyched. It’s always fun when the author of Score, at LEO, and WFPK’s Culture Maven joins us. Please join us, too.

Coach Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals, a team we discounted and even the hometown crowd had written off after a 33-point loss to Providence in January, topped Cincinnati 50-44 to win the Big East tournament title. Here’s how they did it. Mike Marra, torn ACL, out all year; Rakeem Buckles, torn ACL, out since […]

Chane Behanan’s missed dunk in the second half of Wednesday’s debacle, is a pretty good icon of the night, and the last 5 games for the Cardinals. An inability to score. It’s also the fourth game in the last five that Louisville has failed to score more than 57 points; the Cardinals have lost three […]
The post Nothing But Net: Is the Cards’ Season Over? appeared first on 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville.
Last week was one of the best of the season in College Basketball. Unfortunately, Matt was sick, and we didn’t get to offer our in-depth take on all the wonderful trends and, of course, games. Now? We’re both sick. Louisville squandered a perfect opportunity for the taking to knock off the number two team in […]

Louisville basketball fans received a “week off” with the Cards idle until this Saturday’s tilt against Rutgers. Time to let the furor over this year’s team’s deficiencies and injuries die down a bit. Who’s emerged as U of L’s MVP and Most Improved Players? Who’s the biggest bust? Can this team emerge with a win […]

If it wasn’t for bad luck… UFF!! You know how the old saw goes. Now, Louisville’s continued free fall from national prominence becomes an even harsher reality with forward Rakeem Buckle’s ACL injury. An injury that keeps him off the hardwood until the 2013-14 season. IF he stays around. Rak hurt his knee in Monday’s […]
The post Nothing But Net: With Special Guest, Rick Howlett appeared first on 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville.
The last two days’ worth of discussions on the state of Rick Pitino’s Cardinals has centered around what’s wrong, how low can they go and can the slide be stopped? Nor does talk of the slump seems like an over-reaction; 1-4 in the last five games is cause for alarm. 1-3 in the Big East […]
The post Nothing But Net: Can Cards’ Freefall Be Fixed? appeared first on 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville.
Is the Cards’ season slipping away? Dunno. I do know Matt looked at me last night after we’d taped yesterday’s Nothing But Net and said, “What if they lose to Providence tonight?” What if, indeed. Last night’s game looked like there is something seriously wrong, attitude and psyche wise, with the 2011-12 Cards squad. And […]
