Lashford expressed to the media the disbelief from basketball critics towards the Eagles program and how each game is a step by step process.
“Nobody really believed in us at the start of the season anyway so I don’t look at our situation as pressure at all. We’re just trying to win.”
Louisville’s head coach Kenny Payne spoke upon the 17 turnovers his team allowed vs the Eagles and what the Eagles possessed in the matchup that the Cardinals didn’t.
“The elephant in the room were the turnovers. We can’t describe a guy who gets the ball an starts to panic then ends up traveling or throwing the ball out of bounds.”
“They have something I wish we had a little more of that’s toughness, physicality and the way they play. We handled it for the most part in the first half but in the second half they were the aggressors that put us on our heels.”
