#269 R.P.I. Louisville vs. #78 R.P.I. Virginia Tech: 

Virginia Tech men’s hoops must be butter ’cause they is on a… roll?

The Hokies are 1-zip in their last one, that’s (1) games. Overcoming a pretty well-non-encouraging halftime deficit to win for the 1st time ever under Mike Young while chasing at intermission at home. That series of sentences really should covey/tell you much and more. As “Winter has Come”. The key question(s) now is… can we dorsal-fin, rally-cap, shake-ourselves, come correct and finish 2-nil vs. two consecutive beatable teams- and thereby secure our 2o24 Spring Break in lieu of finishing up ’24 spring, broke? Now we draw the seemingly shuffling along Louisville Cardinals out on the always tricksy A.c.c. road. L’ville checks in at: a last-place 8 up against 21 down and ugly 4-games removed from next-to-last-place 3-15 in A.c.c. runs (or: .166). Nonetheless, what you wanna know is… who is gonna win and by how much; rights? So, reads on… to finds, out!

Louisville Head Coach: Kenneth Victor Payne: age=57, 7–31 (.184) overall and at Louisville. Does have a rep for winning Titles and recruiting.
$3,500,000.oo

Baller Payne… a 6 ft. 8 in. (2.o3 m) and 195 lb. (88 kg) small forward, Payne played college basketball at Louisville and was a member of the 1986 NCAA championship squad. He was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 19th pick of the 1989 N.b.a. draft.

In four Associative seasons from 1989 to 1993 for the Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 3.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. He was waived by the team in January 1993 after failing to live up to expectations. He also played professionally overseas in Italy, Japan, Brazil, the Philippines, Cyprus, China, Argentina, and Australia. And a sporty enough stint in the C.B.A. after all of that, (16.3 ppg).

Payne served as an assistant coach for the University of Oregon from 2oo4 to 2oo9. From 2o1o to 2o14, Payne served as an assistant coach for the University of Kentucky; from 2o14 to 2o2o, he was the associate head coach. In 2o12, Payne met with Mississippi State University’s athletic director about its men’s basketball team’s head coach vacancy, though ultimately, he was not hired.

Prior to being hired at Louisville, Payne spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (N.b.a.)

On March 18, 2o22, Payne was introduced as the new head men’s basketball coach at the University of Louisville.

As an Ass.Coach, Coach Payne has bling(s); plural! 1 NC2A (and another one as an NC2A baller), six, that’s (6) So.Eastern and one P.A.C.-1o ring! wowow!

Daddy Payne and his wife Michelle have two children. One of his children, Zan, is a player for
the Louisville Cardinals men’s basketball team.

Louisville at a glance:

• 22nd most FT-makes/game!! (They get ‘calls’).
• 75th best in FT percentage.
• 315th in Assist:Turnover ratio!
• 326th best in Scoring D allowed!!
• 331st best in Scoring Margin!!! (i.e., not a high-tempo scoreboard=pinball wizard Only team)

• 335th in FG-percentage allowed D (overall)!!!
• 344th in Fastbreak ppg O!!!
• 3 hurtin’ injuries listed, ‘thrice help’ @Coach God!

Returning Starters=1!*

Louisville Strengths:

• * r-Soph., Mike James G (2o22): (OUT). (2o24): (IN). James had to miss the entire 2o21-22 season after tearing his left Achilles tendon. Yikes! St.Achilles bless and intercede. Also out would be James’… 6′5″, 2oo lb., as a 1st-year, S/F-G crossover guy. NO STATS 2 seasons ago… per: a pre-season hurt. Last season, however, M.James was getting you: a 2nd-place: 9.5 ppg with 3.2 rpg and 1.1 apg. All on a near solid 36% deep and 44.8% from the floor. James is one of those rare guys who looks heavier/mo’ muscular or mo’ physical upon breaking tape. Not a soft touch this off-G here. 66th ranked Rivals kid in USofA terms and the 2020-21 Orlando Sentinel Boys Basketball Player of the Year award does not suck. Neither did M.J.’s best Oreo Milkshake mixer swagg either. Whatever that means/memes? Brings all the boyz to the yard notwithstanding… said to be the enforcer of the team or a mini-me Maurice Lucas of yesteryear terms if you will. And every team needs a hard-hitting, clampdown backcourt stopper like this. All the mo’ so during our 3-point kra-kra era to boot.
  Lindy’s rates this kid ahead of the next kid; F.Y.I. James has shed nearly 1 full stone (–15 lbs.) since we (did not) see him last. Dinged/dented career, though there is Talent(s) here to be sure. This is an efficient home position ’23 Wing. 13 ppg and 5.2 rpg with 1.4 apg on 35.1% long tell you this caliber Talent is still working his way back. Ditto the ungood 4o.1% floored.  ’cause the Class 7A Player of the Year in Florida and 68th ranked kiddo (Rivals) is better than he has been able to insalubrious show. The All Classroom Conference All-Academic Team is a smart look from a rebounder who can score. 29% from 3-point-land and 39.7% overall say he needs time/reps here. Godspeed! (Do dig the new ‘due up top on the long/straight locks look).
  (UPDATE: has actually gained a little ground, enuf for a ⇑-vote here).
• One, double-nickels or #five-five, Skyy (coooool-name) Clark: your alpha-G1. Your Qb1 or Pt.G1 to boot. At: 13 ppg with 3.2 rpg on 3 apg and 1 swipe. This partly sunny offensive kid is late of Illinois. As he skyed and broke them off a little sompthin’ propper-propper; and yah, that prolly left a fighting-Illini, mark. This Clark bars at: 6′3″, 2o5 lbs., as a second-season VHT (very highly touted) Laker-land inner-city baller. His father, Kenny Clark, played three years in the NFL as a Wideout with the Minnesota Vikings. His uncle, Steve Rhem, played Wr1 for the New Orleans Saints. A handy family tree to be sure. Says: he’d most like to meet “God, not anytime soon though.” His fave book=The Good Book too! +many. Is an interior designer and an amateur boxer on the side. wow. Never read that 1-2 combo’ before. Cut down the Natty Championship net(s) at: Montverde Academy. Plus, many on that. Outburst H.S. scorer, right at 28/game. 33.9% from behind the arc is okay; the 39.8% from the floor tells you how much he has to shoot and how much he loves to do the same. Has some slash to his game on film, the 78% FT’ing is reasonable. Lindy’s says he could not put it all together @Illinois, has the reins here, and is merely the key to L’ville’s season. That’s all… no 79th 247Sports overall baller pressure there. Did dig the Coolio wannabe looksee(s); that… and what’s up, doc?
  (UPDATE: a bit mixed, though the scoring 4-cut is just too much, ⇓)

  

• 6′7″, 2o5 lb., sophomoric Tre White… is a Three from So.Cal. Who is merely your 2nd-scorer: at 13 ppg and your leading rebounder at: 4 rpg. 1.5 apg and your best defender (.9 spg) make this a rounder roundballer.  This is an athletic-looking Three with a wingspan (6-1o) which makes him a tough cover. Lindy’s only glossed him the: “Most Impactful” A.c.c. transfer this off-season. That’s all. No pressure there, either. Same shooting as seemingly everyone else… 33.9% for and 1 in 3 deep; (now: 29.2%). Pac-12 All-Freshman Team last year where he started every game for the Trojans says he must have some measure of game. Speaks Pig Latin… +-1 fo’ dat. 31st via ESPN.com in the country is titillating to be sure. A penetrator via trade, who does play a bit ‘wild’ on film, and does try to do a lot; if not too much. However, this Tre is worth a double-check come ’25 or so.
  (UPDATE: every single thing I hit hit downward, ⇓, ouch!)

Louisville Weaknesses:

• Ty-Laur Johnson: and his SPANX or ride-up… or T-back or whatever the hell this is ’23 code fo’?!? As ‘yes’ and St.Elmo’ bless as Laura has suffered the dreaded ‘groan’ I mean groin-injury; granted. Tho’ wardrobe malfunctions, manpons, manscaping, and whatever else Urban Dictionary is ’bout to go triple-double on your low-post for… this; is, …nutz. (In a word…). Still yet, this elephantine Johnson and his: 8.9 ppg with 1.1 rpg and a team-pacing 3.7 apg needs some tights/supportive QVC assistance, indeed; in… ♠’s! (Guess this is why he is only Aqua-Netting 8% long and 38% overall?)
• Hercy Miller: (OUT). 6′3″, 175 lb. back-up Pt.Guard3. Miller will sit out the remainder of the season after undergoing a procedure to repair a hip injury. Third-year ex-of-Tennessee State baller. Was only getting you: spot-minutes (1.1 ppg). Tho’ this team is all hands-on Deck, so, to speak. Supposed to be a disposable defender— not a shooter at: 2o.6% threes after trois ans. N’est-ce pas? La.Laker native of Cali’, has been dinged/dented at both schools. Coach God Bless. “Enjoys playing the piano and cleaning.” And the next time Eye ballar bio’ read that will be the second. Pops and bro’ both played ball and wore: “15” as well. Doting the 2022-23 A.c.c. All-Academic Team prolly ‘splains the keyboarding right as rain. **** or quadratic ESPN guy (82nd). Also courted a couple of football recruiting rankings to boot. Miller-time walked-on at: Louisville. Son of Rapper Master-P! Prolly ‘splains ticking the ivories even, mo’.
• JJ Traynor: (OUT). Traynor is shut down with a shoulder injury, and he will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season. May St.Christopher help. 6′8″, 19o lb. string-bean P/F or oversized Three. Fourth (may be done) year. And this one bites a bit… as this is expensing L’ville a still developing: 10.1 ppg and rpg 4.6 with ~37% long. Again, they needs anythang(s) they can gets. Lindy’s called J2: “A lankly shooter” and an all “effort guy off the bench.” That never hurt anyone 1ι; (one-iota). 2o2o MaxPreps: MaxPreps Kentucky Player of the Year. Consensus Top-1oo recruit. Traynor, who has a 7-2 wingspan, was pinnacled as the: No. 79 nationally by 247Sports.com. Traynor’s father Jason Osborne played two years at UofL (1993-95) and was a McDonald’s All-American at Louisville Male High School, where he was Kentucky’s Mr. Basketball in 1993. Kool All in the Family double-dip there. +2. JJ slept in his dad’s practice jersey as a child. At Louisville: Traynor improved every year; and was enjoying a career year up through Christmas Break. Sucks. As the World needs mo’ peeps that improve each-n-every year. Feel fo’ this one here…
• Dennis Evans: (OUT). Evans is idle due to a shoulder ailment, and it is unknown when he will return. St.Christopher helps some mores. Big-azz OLD-school still goggles wearing BIG. 7′2″, 215 lb. spindly True-C or Five. Made it thru seven (’23) still adjusting games: 1.6 ppg with .9 rpg and a swat. ~63% tells you where this Five operated down-low in the paint. Lindy’s went so (very) far as to call him: “…a unicorn Big-man”. Has a Jurassic Parking 7-8 wingspan and is said to have range out to 3-ball-land. Kinda/sorta a little bit of a 3-D player if you will. Nice tho’ still offensively developing H.S. digits out at: Riverside, Calif. Holds the Golden State all-time single-game block record (17-sendbacks in one nite!). Courts a (near) rimming whopping: 9-foot 8-inch standing reach! Dennis was a member of the U17 USA Basketball team that won the gold last summer in the FIBA championships in Malaga, Spain. Evans was also only Ranked No. 14 in the nation in the 2o23 Rivals rankings! That’s all. He sucks. Cut him now.

Cards deck: (depth=5 or so deep with lottsa experience downloaded onboard) 211 pine ppg! (Ave.’ish).

BIG ole 6′1o″ and 24o lb., Brandon Huntley-Hatfield is your Four or P/F1. Tennessee transfer who volunteered to git dat Louisville work. 12.5 ppg on a team pacing 8.6 rpg and 56.3% from the floor and you wonder if UT cares fo’ his… welfare? As mo’ was voluntarily expected here. What with the penta or ***** or five-stars and only topping at 19th in the Nation per ESPN.com. A big VeeTee recruit and everyone you can name S.E.C. and A.c.c. wise alike. VERY limited scholastic info exists here… and you gotta wonder: ‘Why’? Transferred around in H.S. and again in collegiate terms alike. Had reasonable digits at the IMG Academy (FLA.) hoops factory of: 11.4 points and 6.o rebounds. Only coaching sewing circle ‘whisper’ Eye could glean was that he has had trouble: ‘finding his footing’. Not code for anything shiny, is it? Tho’ still… Top-20 American recruits tend to be good for something(s), beyond being so mercurial or suffering Elden Campbell syndrome 1o1. As this four seems mo’ 110v or domesticated at times to me. And yet everyone says he does have 220v or industrial capacity. Time or a 3rd school=tell… though I can tell you he too has cut right at 1 stone or –15 lbs. again away. He has added just a little 3-point range (25%). B.H-H, he working… trying… I like that.
(UPDATE: way way way up! Nearly doubling his ppg and finding over +11% shooting is in-season amazing, if not unheard of. ⇑⇑!)
(UPDATE2: in Point-‘o-fact… nearly up to a sizzling ~16 ppg average in his last X).

Accordingly, the newfound Cardinal S&C/fitness regime was an off-season emphasis here.

Emmanuel Okorafor, P/F, goes; 6′9″ and 22o 2nd-year lbs. This is by way of; Lagos, Nigeria/NBA Academy Africa. He is of no N.B.A. relation that I could find. He is however a dancer of some measure; no joke. Prior to that he won all kinda African merits/awards and averaged a double-double a season ago for BC Espoir Fukash out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the highest of any BAL Elevate program player in the league. He too was unlisted as a Four in all of my pre-season mags— so you can see the latent rush to assemble this roster here. As Okorafor is a year or three away from being much mo’ than a development/project at the Four. Tho’ he does chef-up mad: Egusi and Fufu dinnertime game. Whatever that means… {sic: African goat, stew!} wow. 2.5 points with 2.3 rebounds and 64.5% making. Yet again, time=tell here…
(previous: UPDATE: Okorafor has sat several games with an ankle issue, (St.Philip bless), although this is a useful big when operating on 2-good-wheels).
(UPDATE2: kinda flat, sideways, lateral guy… ⇔)

Grad’-year… Zan Payne… who only got nepotistically included here… is dropping a paternal looking: o.3 ppg with 1.1 rpg and o.2 apg on 2o% overall. Z do be having his UK (Wildcat-striker) transfer u.grad’ degree. That’s good; +1 there. 6′5″ kinda bulky looking 233 lb. 2-Guard or S/F ‘tweener. Said to have the nicest shoe collection on the team; nepotism/connections prolly ain’t hurtin’ that one-iota (1ι) either. Has a history of knee dings/dents (St.Nikon help) and of Academic Honor Rolls (St.Catherine bless). Glue/practice worker-bee guy… who has 15 mo’ career collegiate total (Σ) points than you and Eye do combined.
(UPDATE: does not amount to much; tho’ he went up, ⇑)

Rookie card or debut year… Curtis Williams, an off-G, 6′5″, 2o5 lbs., is your bench shooter (of sorts/in relative terms) at: 28.6% from trifectaville for L’ville. The 32.2% from the floor tells you where/how often he shoots from… is said to be a volume shooter who can help on the ‘glass. No.73 scholastic baller from: Rivals. Named runner-up for Michigan’s 2023 Mr. Basketball award… good tho’ not great H.S. digits. Tho’ he could/can shoot right at ≅4o% on 3’s. A swimmer who carries a chessboard on the side… said to be the fastest ‘card on the draw an end-to-end speed goes. Curious prospect… 5.5 ppg with 1.3 rpg and .7 apg from the bullpen; we shall see if he next-year contends…
(UPDATE: just a bit down, not a whole lot though… ⇓)

Illation, conclusion(s) and OPT digits:

Number of cards who deck could @Tech=7-card-stud(s) or so...

the takeaway:
The takeaway here is…

…not to be too taken with which postseason Tournament may or may not come a callin’…

At least not yet(s).
As we needs these two like a dead man needs a coffin.

Get turned out by either (seemingly) winnable game and we’d need a deep A.c.c. run.

Hold the damn line; do what we are capable of doing -maybe even should do- and 18-13 coming from a signature D-1 P5 hoopology conference might just turn the Spring Break trick.

We do have a fair-to-middling shot at each win; some may even deign to say we will be twice-favored to do so.

We say… “don’t count your Hokiebirds until they’ve… hatched❗️“

 ***

Our handy-dandy friend the so-called Forum Guide of Graham Houston fame is calling for a downright bonkers raised to the obscene power +122-point VicTory Dance here! LOL… Eye will go on the next TSL Podcast and eat these very words if we even win by +121. Deal? K… When take per capita the Forum Guild (only) worked out to a +8.33-point Tech Triumph. That, and Eye bet nickels to dimes that Mike Young would most welcomely take just the +.33 points and call the whole get outta Blue-Grass town with a cardinal win shebang totally off right now. i.e., any win here keeps our post-seasoning odds alive. An L @L’ville would be dire and the margin of victory won’t really do much in lieu of Spring Bust. i.e.e., mo’ harm than good… is on the line Tuesday nite.

Curiously -pre-chance even obviously- enuff here… early on… and this here Forum Guide (nearly) ran stride for stride. W’s/L’s in our roundball round-robin format did not tall much more than a shot or three as differentiate went at all. This can be interpreted as… one team has spat the bit, a bit. Or, letting go the rope a mite… as suffering one 6-game schneid in-league then another 5-game schneid (or: 22 and then 29 days between W’s could prove emotionally looseningif not L’ing itself indeed). That’s a lotta applied sports psych to have to port’ or mule uphill; twice!

The annualized year-to-date vitals say that… VeeTee is up a nice enuff looking +5% in shooting percentage margin (just a little mo’ so on O than on D; though a handful is a reasonable set of knuckles here); with VeeTee up a near nifty +9% in 3-point percentage margin (2⁄3’rds of which was via superior 3-O splashing and the other ⅓rd was via starchier 3-D defending), and literally, nobody is up anything whatsoever in rebounding margin year-to-date. (Both were knotted at +.2 rpg in marginal terms. It can be noted; however, that L’ville is a bit better off the offensive backboard with VeeTee canceling that out off the defensive backboard itself. Odd… literally…)

The most recent 5-game metrics say that… the Hokies are now up +9% in shooting percentage margin (per: the precise same 2⁄3 ¦ ⅓ O:D superiority split. However, both teams are not defensing much of anyone of late); with the F’n Gobbles up a kra-kra looking ~+21% in 3-point percentage margin (here: everything titled in the Techmen’s favor, on both ends of 3-O and 3-D alike. As the L’ville internal 3-O to 3-D is a brutal near ~20% to the ho-down suck itself. i.e., they cannot make a “3” with a pencil and they are almost allowing a careless looking ~49% on 3-D itself! This is the worst intra-squad swing vote Eye’ve seen in many years; plural, maybe even a decade itself), and da Cards are cutting from the bottom on the 3-finger-slide good for a +3 caroms collected in rebounding margin edge in the last fortnight of jumps. (This from: both teams are negative here; L’ville won in |absolute value| terms… mostly by shorting a little less off the O-‘glass and just a pinch less off the D-‘glass).

Armchair Pt.Guard’s:

Hemmingway Hoops: “To have and to have not…”

• vs. no-names? +18-points❗️ That’s (only) 18-points from a historic D-1 menz hoops factory school mind yah. +18 from a three, that’s a (3) time National D-1 P5 champion, mind yah! That tells us about the entirety of the tale, does it not? As Louisville only punked two ding dogs, got stretched a handful of times by the same (either way), and then got upset three times to boot. Now; the Cardinals do play some current or historic big/fun names O.O.C. to their credit. They ain’t ducking scheduling much… I’ll give them that round 1o-8. Though they are not first to the punch as the current last-place All Championship Conference club no mo’. These birds have slipped and these Cardinal wings appear a might wounded— if not downright clipped (of late).

  

• vs. Surnames? –243-points❗️ As upstairs squarely struck… L’ville does not cheap on its O.O.C. docket. Having drawn a whopping 6 nationally ranked teams or about 20% of their this year sequencing. That’s no small thing… and love to their A.D. It is peppered with old-school fun names: (Pepperdine, DePaul, Indy, and Kentucky among ’em). Fair play. Contact shies this unit is not in terms of whom they face. However, when nearly 1 in 3 games you play is vs. a former National Champion at some stAGE of the game of hoops… you’d better mind the store. Quite a bit as this task is no small (2o23-’24) ask. Stil yet, being a hoops factory who is now down nearly everyone’s favorite Uncle Sam in age for the duration vs. Surname teams is just not a good look. It ain’t. No ‘oink’ Avon or Maybelline need lip-service anythang here. The lowly no-name hit was a seemingly nonconforming warning, the downright harshing Surname hit is a confirmation.
  (And somewhere Denny Crum’s (signature) polyester jacket is, crying…)

LAST 10 GAMES: Cardinals: 2-8, averaging 7o.9 points, 35.1 rebounds, 10.9 assists, 5.6 steals, and 2.6 blocks per game while shooting 43.o% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 8o.5 points per game.

LAST 10 GAMES: Hokies: 4-6, averaging 75.9 points, 29.3 rebounds, 15.5 assists, 4.4 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 47.4% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 75.1 points.

V.P.I. is up a nice looking +4% at the charity stripe for the year.
VeeTee is up a hopefully useful-looking +6 in R&R.
L’ville is a . host; whereas VT is . as a guest.

The Call…

No.2o8 Net Ranking Louisville vs. no.58 Net Ranking Vah.Tech:

The 21 L’s from ’24 L’ville just clinched the second-worst season in Cardinals program history. The worst ever you asks? Well, that was last season’s 28 L’s.

Ergo, therefore, to Whit… mayhap you could spin that as there is progress being made here? Maybe…

Whereas… the 16 W’s Virginia Tech is chasing consecutive victories for the first time since a three-game winning streak in late January. The Hokies are one game out of a two-team tie for eighth place.

This is kicking off the ’24 2nd day of the menz A.c.c. hoops tourney important; pay attention.

Away Avg/Game

Or, in other words… this centrist or moderate of a team cannot afford a –6 to –7 Assist:Turnover swing vote VeToing itself. In extremely particular out on the hard-won All Coaching Conference road.

Most interesting factoid
VT averages 17.2 Free Throw Attempts per game in Cassell
VT averages 14.5 FTA on the road

Opponents average 13.55 FTA in Cassell
Opponents average 21 FTA in their own gym.

VT is +2.7 FTA for games in Cassell
VT is –7.45 FTA for away conf games.

The only road W (NC St) VT was +4 (28-24) in the FTA stat.

And that is your in-game barometer… in particular for the 6th best D-1 Free Throwing team.

…we chill out on our visiting FTA counter and we may just be Spring, broke.

The digits:

💌 ELO #258 <<<>>> 🏀 <<<>>> ELO #83 🦃

Before I key any of this in… Eye know, Eye know… we are not supposed to win out on the All Communicado Conference road. Granted. As what gave that one away? (So, to speak…) Maybe our pretty dang pitiful -if not downright outright lowly- one-hyphen-year road marker?

Hmmmmmmm… K. Yah-yah. And nevertheless…

As Louisville courts a .142 marker vs. opponents over .5oo —gotta be a reason(s) fo’ dat, right?
That and Louisville is in a –92-point hole in for their last 5 contest.
Again, gotta be a…

–oOo–

So, if you asks me -and you did via reading these very words- if you asks me…

…as this is their penultimate Senior Nite? (Which is a very card-sharp break for us)…

…Coach Nat King Cole and me are gonna go for broke and call my shot(s) here… 2o23-2o24 VeeTee menz hoops (somehow) Hokiebird straightens up and flies right. Straightens up and gets tight. Straightens up and gets typed. TSL pay side MB don’t you blow your, top!

Even Dr. Dunkenstine’s (Darrell Griffith) absurd 48″ lift could not flight these cards here… here where me and Nancy jus’ say “NO” to mansplaining everyone’s Disneyfication.

We go Grand Ole Opry in a neighborly way or not.

Fish or get off the O&M post-season pot.
