...at finishing ballgames. Maybe not.

Of course the NCAA looks at resumes and not the actual teams. Just happens that Richard Pitino coaches Minnesota and they play us. Shocked. Tough second round opportunity as MSU is playing really well.

Thoughts?

The Ravens should be one of the top rushing teams in the NFL. Looking forward to watching two Heisman winners side by side..

Play well, beat Pitino like a rented mule, have a great Tourney.

The benefit of having played Duke (who we had beat) and Mich. St. (who we beat). If we can get past the first game jitters (Minn.), could be a fun tourney. Tough be doable.

Louisville Basketball snagged a 7-seed in the NCAA tournament. The Cardinals will head to Des Moines, Iowa for the first and second rounds of this year's Big Dance.

What are your thoughts or predictions for the Cards in the NCAAT?

Lunardi has Louisville a 7 seed but a 8 or even 9 is possible. So I have looked at what teams may be matched up with those seeds.

8 and 9 seeds

Iowa
Mississippi state
Buffalo
Baylor
Minnesota

10 seeds

Ole Miss
St. John's
UCF
Arizona state
Florida

I could see the committee pairing up UofL and Minnesota. They like little ironies like this. Pitino vs Louisville.

Vols had to overcome some horrible officiating to come back from down 7 to win by 4

"People underestimated us this year, and I don't think that was really fair to my players or to my program," Cronin told me. "I would say the same for Houston. We've still been disrespected nationally. We've got teams with nine losses that are ranked. I don't understand it." - Mick Cronin

I would assume Mick was referring to two weeks ago Louisville was 18-8 and ranked #18 and Wisconsin was 17-8 and ranked #22 while UC was unranked. The Cards and Badgers had the most losses in the poll with 8.

then the Cards are headed to the Midwest bracket. Early round games are in Columbus and it's a tough draw IMO. Have to play Oklahoma in the opening game, and if the Cards win, they would most likely have to play Michigan State again. Ward is back and makes them a much better team today compared to when the Cards played them back in late November.

I would rather see another game against Tennessee instead. I just feel the Cards match up better with the Vols.

No worries though. It's March and this is the best time of the year to be a college basketball fan!!

So.....Mitch Brainfart is on the NCAA Selection committee, if he could, yes or no, does he politic for a Round 2 game vs. the Cards?

Happened to hear the neutral floor thing during the LSU/FLA game. The never biased ESPN crew said the same damn thing about the floor we HAD to play on last evening. Simply want to call BULL$HIT on tobacco road. OK, just a vent. Thanks for listening. GO CARDS!!!

Cards win 2 to 1. Great game against Duke ranked #23

Since 93.9 sent me and Deener to Charlotte, we stayed today hoping that if Louisville happened to lose to UNC we'd wind up with this matchup and it has delivered so far. A couple of thoughts:

1. This is an insanely fun game to watch and fun environment. The arena is largely UNC fans but it's loud as hell on every made basket.

2. I could easily see either of these two teams cutting the nets in a couple of weeks.

3. I miss Louisville being in games like these. I really hope that starting next year with the roster upgrades Louisville returns to playing in and winning meaningful postseason games. If it's next year, we'd be 5 years since beating NC State in the Sweet 16 and almost and Final Four out of nowhere.

Should he be getting more minutes then King and Perry I wonder if coach will change that in the tournament

Another great honor for the Louisville WBB star. Made the First team, along with Megan Gustafson (Iowa), Napheesa Collier (UConn), Teaira McCowan (Miss. ST.) and Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon). Arike Ogunbowale made the second team.

Congratulations to "nite-nite". !!

69-59

Florida State to the ACCT Finals.

Wow. So UVA is still UVA

When is the last time he hit a 3? Louisville looks better but it’s not because of King. Awful.
