Garrison incident

[Cats192]

The whole thing could been avoided if Garrison had dove for the loose ball since he was closest to it, but instead the Card player beat him to the ball and dove on it first because Garrison was slow to react. He tried to make up for it afterwards but that lack of hustle on his part could have cost us the game. The game was in reach for the Cards at the time. At least that’s how I saw it.

Exactly this. Was coming to post the same.

He was running in slow motion for the ball. He tried to bend down to pick it up. The Louisville player wanted it more. He dove on it. Garrison didn't.

None of this happens if Garrison dives on the ball. I'm sure Pope will use this as a teaching point. The ball is the most important thing. The ball is ALWAYS worth diving for.

He stomped on a player. Looking at the replay now

I did notice that, though I also wasn’t entirely certain how purposeful it was since it seemed to occur as the other Louisville players were shoving him in to the Louisville bench. So I wasn’t willing to pass judgement. If there was indeed intent, he needs to cut that out and just play ball. No need for cheap shots.

Yes, I was frustrated with him on this play. But, he at least did show the hustle on the other play when he went after the ball going out of bounds like crazy and threw it off Hepburn and kept it as our possession. That was a critical part of the game too.
