Transcript
00:00 (crowd cheering)
00:02 - And Louisville will control first.
00:05 Sky Clark brings it up.
00:07 He missed the last two games with a rib injury.
00:09 In fact, he's gonna play through a broken rib
00:12 the rest of the way.
00:13 And Brandon Huntley Hatfield averaging 15 and eight
00:16 over his last 17.
00:18 Here is Shrewsbury using the shot fake,
00:22 step back three, good.
00:23 - Because I think they plan on doubling everything
00:26 that goes into the post.
00:27 - Neither team shoots the three.
00:30 Especially well, that's too easy for Huntley Hatfield.
00:32 - Absolutely, he's gotten so much better at the elbow area.
00:36 - Cabbage Eye, the Penn State transfer
00:41 followed by the Shrewsbury to South Bend.
00:44 And it's big to big.
00:45 There's Kerry Booth.
00:46 - Beautiful play by Kerry Booth.
00:47 And Marcus Burton channeled his inner John Stockton
00:51 with the screen.
00:52 A bit of a moving screen, but he got away with it.
00:54 I liked it.
00:55 They're gonna let these guys play today.
00:57 - Huntley Hatfield puts it on the floor
00:59 through the double team and gets the roll.
01:02 - Beautiful jump shot.
01:04 The back screen from John Stockton.
01:06 Burton gets-
01:06 - I think he's a little bit more,
01:07 a little more miffed that was not a foul call on the way up.
01:10 - Burton takes it away.
01:13 He had five steals last time out.
01:15 Pulls up and missed completely.
01:18 Kinesney there to clean up.
01:20 - Burton's one for three.
01:23 Now Davis spinning inside and turbines to the rack for two.
01:27 - That's quick.
01:28 - He has improved again.
01:29 We're focused on the freshmen,
01:30 but he has improved so much really since Christmas.
01:34 That's when he's really started to make a jump in the ACC.
01:37 He figured it out and they can play through him.
01:39 They can do a lot with him.
01:42 - That's 17 points last time out against Georgia Tech
01:44 and Huntley Hatfield kisses it off the window.
01:47 - Nice lift.
01:48 That is the improvement.
01:50 That is where Kenny Payne has done a fantastic job
01:54 of making these players and making this team better.
01:57 This time of year, you want to be heading
01:59 towards playing your best basketball.
02:01 It's not as much about the record for Louisville.
02:03 Are they getting better?
02:04 - Huntley Hatfield may have gotten away with a foul.
02:06 He had his arm draped around the waist of Tay Davis.
02:10 - They haven't made many threes
02:11 and they're giving up far too many in the last four games.
02:15 But they have a break right now
02:16 'cause Braden Shrewsbury's not on the floor.
02:18 - Booth.
02:20 - But Terry Booth hits.
02:22 - A 26% three-point shooter.
02:25 Here's James the other way.
02:27 (crowd cheering)
02:30 Huntley Hatfield puts it on the floor,
02:32 off the window, plus one.
02:35 - But because he drove the ball with his left hand,
02:38 dropped his right shoulder, did put it back in his right hand.
02:41 Right now, this is where the double becomes an issue.
02:44 - Yeah, O'Connor's not used to that.
02:46 - They're not gonna be able to play through him.
02:47 - Clark hits the three, second three for Louisville.
02:50 - And Kenny knows it.
02:51 He's bringing Brandon Huntley Hatfield back in.
02:54 (crowd cheering)
02:56 - Careless pass taken away.
03:02 Shrewsbury the other way, lays it in.
03:05 He's got 14 to lead all scores.
03:07 - Well, that's just a sloppy pass.
03:08 Angle on that, that is not a good pass.
03:10 Now, that's just a soft right-handed bounce pass,
03:14 turns into an easy two.
03:15 - Shrewsbury, shot clock in single digits.
03:18 Kinesne over Williams, got it.
03:23 - Wow, great job with the left hand, pounded the dribble.
03:26 His feet from year one to year two have really improved.
03:30 He's obviously gotten stronger in his lower body.
03:31 You can see it in his feet when he attacks.
03:34 - A red shirted last year
03:35 after playing sparingly as a freshman.
03:37 Huntley Hatfield with a chance at a three-point play.
03:41 - Every two trips down the floor
03:44 and soon to be every trip down the floor.
03:45 Great drive, stops, keeps it alive,
03:48 is strong with the ball, doesn't lose the ball.
03:52 - Notre Dame's a team that turns it over
03:54 on 20% of its possessions in the ACC,
03:57 highest rate in the conference.
03:59 Davis swivels inside, blocked by Glenn.
04:03 And James got mauled.
04:06 - Yeah, at some point we gotta call that.
04:07 I'm all for physical play and let's go,
04:09 but we gotta call that.
04:10 - James hesitated, down low to Glenn.
04:15 - Nice pass by Mike James.
04:18 Look at Mike James,
04:20 makes the pass, simple pass,
04:23 drops it off to Caleb Glenn, exactly what they need.
04:26 - Booth is there to clean.
04:27 Shrewsbury again.
04:32 - Got it!
04:33 - Get one, Kenny. - Six threes.
04:35 - You can't lose Braden Shrewsbury.
04:38 If they raised it to 12 foot and they were chain nets.
04:41 - Johnson, the inbound, and there's James.
04:48 His first points, his first field goal.
04:51 - Good play, take it.
04:52 I mean, Notre Dame has just made two threes.
04:54 They have not separated themselves execution-wise
04:58 outside of those threes.
04:59 You're still in it.
05:00 - Burton, the wild pull up, got it!
05:04 Plus the foul.
05:05 - And Yogi Ferrell, they're a little bit different.
05:08 That is a beautiful shot.
05:09 Takes the hit, goes straight up.
05:11 I don't like comparing younger players to a guy I had.
05:14 Like, don't let him play a two-man game.
05:16 - There it is. - There it is.
05:17 - Burton to Shrewsbury.
05:19 Still plenty of time to shoot.
05:20 Burton, the quick first step through the contact.
05:24 He's picked it up in the second half.
05:25 He's got 16. - He's so good.
05:27 - Five to shoot, Davis posting up Clark.
05:31 It's Shrewsbury again!
05:35 His seventh three, he's got 23, two off a career high.
05:40 - This one right now, look how quick he gets it up.
05:42 What I love, he holds the foul through.
05:46 (crowd cheering)
05:48 - And JT Kelly will dribble out the clock.
05:52 Notre Dame comes into Louisville,
05:54 and the Irish get just their second road win of the season.
