Why did I post this? Dusty May was the Prime Target for IU Basketball, that has one of the Great College Basketball Pedigrees of all time! Now that IU dream hometown candidate is off the board for IU. Who is their next prime target?? Michigan was smart in doing this! And IMO CPK is on the short list for a play by IU. You don't think I am right in my assessment! Your head is in the sand. CPK will be a hot target for not only IU, but several other jobs!! Time for our UL Leadership to act with a pre-emptive deal much like the Wolverines! Stop with it's not even one season. The Wolverines acted quickly with Dusty May! They are in the same boat as UL. With one of the Hottest Coaches in College Basketball CPK!!!! Lock down Coach Pat Kelsey NOW!!!!

Hopefully basketball success going forward will help with this. Not sure what impact the revenue sharing will have on this.

Joe Lunardi has Louisville and sUcK both playing in the South Region. First game Louisville would play Arkansas and sUcK would play Chattanooga. The winner of those 2 games would play each other in the 2nd round. Also in that region would be Memphis and Michigan State. Once again sos and all the algorithm has nothing to do with the selections. It is obviously based on attracting viewers. However we will hear the Ad’s and University Presidents use the usual talking points blah, blah, blah.

So everyone knows it’s pretty much down to Louisville, Duke, and Kentucky.

A look across the conference as it pertains to the upcoming NFL Combine:

Louisville basketball coach Pat Kelsey is going international with his latest addition to the Cardinals' 2025 recruiting class.

Sananda Fru, a 21-year-old power forward from Germany, has committed to the Cardinals, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Courier Journal on Tuesday. The Field of 68's Jeff Goodman was first to report.

Fru, who stands 6 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 245 points, plays for Lowen Braunschweig. He is currently averaging 12 points on 75% shooting, five rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 17 games.

Fru is the second member of U of L's 2025 recruiting class. The first was Mikel Brown Jr., a consensus five-star point guard who has been named a McDonald's All-American.

Cards fans showing up in numbers and upsetting the coach Post game! Go Cards!

Beat #11 Duke on the road tonight.!! Played really well..

It's unbelievable how bad Alabama is on defense. Last night they gave up 110 points to Missouri and 60 percent shooting. The Tide was called for 30 fouls and Missouri shot 47 FT's missing 16 of them.

Imagine Louisville getting whistled for 30 fouls. We would have to finish the game with walk ons.

Top 15 make the tourney, so Cards are very close to clinching a spot: Cards are 9-1, and 16th is NC State at 2-7. So our magic number to clinch is 5.

To clinch a single round bye, we need to be 9th seed or higher. Cal, VT, and FSU are tied for 10th at 4-6. That puts our magic number to clinch a first round bye at 6.

Need to be in the top 4 to earn the double bye: 4th place is currently a 3 way tie between Wake, SMU, and Stanford at 7-3. That puts our magic number to clinch the double bye at 9. A win at home over Stanford in early March would give us the tiebreaker over all 3 of those teams, reducing our magic number to clinch the double bye by 2 in a single game.

Cards # 21 in Coaches Poll , Cards # 25 in AP Poll. Much deserved respect. Uk # 21 Coaches Poll #17 AP Poll

No where to go but up from here Fans. 5 regular season games left, 4 of them Home Games. Just win baby!!

18 conference games and we have to finish in the top 15 to reserve our spot in the ACCT.

We are 5th place at 9-3, and 16th place is Pitt (2-9), plus we own the tiebreaker over the Panthers. We are officially in the ACCT at this point!

Still have work to do to lock down a first round bye, however. We need to be the 9 seed or higher, and the current 10th place is a 3-way tie between BC (W), UVA (W), and Clemson (?), all with a 4-8 record. Since we haven’t yet played Clemson, our magic number to clinch a first round bye currently sits at 2.

A home win against Clemson at the end of this month would clinch a top 9 seed for us, but we do have four games before that one - we could clinch even before we play that game.

It will be a major uphill climb to snag one of those top four seeds and a double bye (magic number of 8, with just 6 games left in the regular season), but it cannot be said that we do not control our own destiny with regards to that quest. Four of our remaining 6 games are against the current #1 seed (@ND), #3 (@FSU), #4 (@Duke) and #6 (UNC) in the ACC standings. We will need to win 5 of our last 6 to accomplish that goal.

Thoughts? Expectations?
My expectations are: The team plays well; busts their butts; hustles.
My thoughts are: beating 10th ranked Duke at Home is a very tall order. My guess is lose this game.

I hope we win. I think the Cards can win. It will certainly be an upset to do it.

Not surprising.

I suppose the weekend series is in question, too. But, we do play Western Michigan. Them traveling down here might feel like spring break for them.

I was wondering why it was so dead over here over the weekend. Seems we're competing with the premium board.

Wtf?😅
