Cards Back In the Top 25

It's ridiculous. People like Jay Bilas says it's absurd Louisville isn't ranked. What do they have to do? Why are there reservations?

I agree the AP and coaches polls mean little but they are like grades each week during a long season. Having that number next to your name means you're a good team. The higher the number the better team you are.

As for the NET or any other computer ranking, why is Louisville in the 30's? Why aren't they in the 20's with the strength of schedule and no bad losses? They also have at least 4 quad 1 & 2 wins.

What do these voters want? Do they not look ahead and see Louisville's remaining schedule and notice it's nowhere near as difficult as it was through the first six ACC games?

Shouldn't they expect Louisville to win more games? It's not like some team getting ranked after starting 10 and 1 with 7 cupcake wins, only to have a rugged remaining schedule against multiple ranked teams.

There shouldn't be any doubt that Louisville is a top 25 team and why they're hesitant to vote for the Cards leads to accusations of bias.

Returning Players?

Koren will have plenty of minutes at Louisville. Plus, he is coming back from an injury. Other guys coming hack from injuries - Khalifa, Rodgers and Pryor - would do themselves a favor by staying put. They’ll know the system and have a better chance of playing. It sure why anyone think Rooths is going to bolt? So, because he has shown potential he’ll leave little ole Louisville?
Come on now. You know the reality today with collegiate sports. You have to be prepared for players to leave for many different factors. I hope they stay, but odds are some won't.

VIDEO: Coach Kelsey On David Novak Podcast

another thing i remember coach saying was that when they look at players, they call the coaches at all the previous schools possible to get info. he said basically no coaches have called him to ask about any players that transferred under him. he said the former coach would be the first person he calls about any player entering the portal but no one calls him. he's about the person not just the player

Remaining ACC Schedule and the NCAAT

Started looking ahead at our schedule and boy is it rough. I think we are about to go on a big run to finish this season. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect 11+ wins. And 11-3 would probably mean one bad loss.

Part of this makes me scared because I don’t think 10-4 (22 total wins) is a lock to get in. That would mean multiple Q2+ losses and Pitt was left out last year with a similar resume at 22 wins. We’d have to win a game in the ACC tournament to feel confident going in to selection Sunday.

I know we haven’t helped the ACC image over the last few years but some rich alumni from these “top tier” academic schools need to start spending money. This conference shouldn’t be this bad.
