@CardChronicle Hey now, are you also adding the podcast to Spotify? It doesn't seem to be posted there yet.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@CardChronicle The way the ACC bracket is lining up, would you rather Duke lose to UNC so the Cards get the honor of being ACC regular season champs or Duke wins, leaving UL with two potential resume boosting games against both Clemson and Duke?

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@CardChronicle Maybe not the best time for a football question but...are you surprised that Ron English will be back as DC? Maybe I missed it but did Brohm ever get asked to explain his decision to keep his staff intact?

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@CardChronicle Is Reyne the best 3-pt shooter in UL history? What other players would you have in your top 3 shooters? When Louisville basketball is playing like this, you should POD every week, at minimum. Missed ya last week!!

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@allteamscards @AngryVille Yes, he should be.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@thestateoflou How many (if any) of the Louisville players in the transfer portal do you expect to be back on the UL roster next season?

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@thestateoflou 1000%...I even think Chris Mack would have this roster on the bubble (at minimum). KP and the staff he chose, and stuck with for yr 2, have no clue how to coach Defense at even the most basic level.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@productionjjsw @GreggDoyelStar IMO, it should have been a no-call, and ball out of bounds to NU.

However, it ends up as another questionable call going to Purdue and basically deciding the game. On top of the 46-8 FT differential, that led to Collins' tirade.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@ericcrawford Your writing is always incredibly thoughtful & insightful. My biggest concern is that as the schedule weakens in February, this team could win 5-6 games against the bottom half of the conference. That result might lessen the current fan consensus that it's time to move on from KP

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@PapiCatMan1 The Wilson Club rocks, I'm interested

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@CardChronicle Please don't forget about football! When do you expect to get a final decision about Quincy and how confident are you that he returns? What position groups still worry you the most?

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@ericcrawford It's such an indictment of KP and the coaching staff when the team is having the same fundamental issues from last yr, yet the roster is almost completely turned over. KP was always a high risk, high reward hire. In some ways, UL is lucky he's failed fast and can move on quickly.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@ericcrawford I always respect your insight, Eric. I hope Josh comes out & make a public statement in the next 24hrs.

My biggest issue with KP is his inability to get the team to play D & that hasn't improved. UL is a top 10 program deserving of a top 10 caliber coach, which KP just isn't.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@thestateoflou I remember the same type of rhetoric from the community after Ron Cooper went 1-10. About how he just needed more time.

At some point results matter and KP must be held to the same standard that led UL to move on from Mack, Kragthorpe, and Cooper .

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@Matt_McGavic Mick would be a home run hire at UL! The problem is that he has a huge buyout. As to why Mick, he coaches D at a level we haven't seen since Pitino, his tourney results have improved (including a recent final 4), he develops players, and he was an assistant at UL.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@VilleVsWorld That's probably the best coaching list breakdown I've seen yet.

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@Tyler_Greever Just poor coaching...UL deserves better!

[Alon Melzer @alonmelzer]

@misse713 Don't worry, after what I saw from FSU yesterday without Travis, we're going to take them out in Charlotte! Coming off a painful loss, Brohm will have our players' full attention this week. We'll earn the Orange Bowl by winning the ACC!!
