Following Louisville’s 80-76 loss Friday night at Stanford Head Coach Pat Kelsey shared his thoughts by saying Obviously because of our ranking and stuff like that, it's going to be a rock fight every single night,"In the second half, they scored 45 points, they got 50% of their misses back on the offensive glass. For the game, they scored at [1.212] points a possession, which is really high. We scored at [1.246] which is really high. But you can't go on the road and get beat on the glass like that in the second half and not guard. It was a three-point game with a minute left and they drove right to the basket and got an easy layup. You have to be able to get stops, defend at a really high level to win on the road. Credit Stanford, they were better tonight. We have to get back home, rest, recover, have a couple really good days of preparation for a terrific Duke team in a few days."
