Feels really good to be in March Madness once again. Been a very long 6 years.
What seed do you think the Cards end up with?
What seed do you think the Cards end up with?
NCAA Selection Sunday
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
Lunardi updates UofL to a 6 seed in the Midwest Region facing either Vandy or San Diego St. Houston as our 1 seed.
I’m sure it will be a totally objective placement that coincidentally collides with someone/thing we have history with.
In all seriousness, in today’s game I don’t think seeds/region make much difference. Too many good teams that can beat most anybody on a given night.
All it’s good for is planning travel.
I don’t think uk, Tenn, Mich St, etc are anymore anxious to play us than we are to play them.
Throw it up and play is all you can do.

Watching Florida I'm seeing what Louisville could be when Kelsey gets the big men he needs. The Gators look like the best team to me with a perfect balance of multiple guard and big man play. They are loaded. If the Cards had one of the Gators bigs we would be a title contender.
The officials are overwhelmed with the level of play in this Florida game and are calling way too many fouls. College hoops has changed with the dribble drive and the players are getting more physical. The refs are looking and anticipating fouls so they blow the whistle.

Well,I can go out and drink some green beer now😂. Suspense is over quickly. If we can win the first two,we can win it all.
I agree with that and I am glad that Clark Kellogg raised the question as to why are we an 8 seed. Is Mitch Brainfart still on the selection committee?
So we finish 2nd in the ACC regular season and runner up in the conference tournament and we get an 8 seed. Then how on earth did Duke get a 1 seed it doesn’t add up.
Not only an 8 seed but the last 8 seed if Auburn is the top overall seed. That means 32nd team in the tournament for a team that finished second in ACC regular season and tournament.
After being #13 in the AP, beating a decent Stanford team, beating #10, and losing to #1. That doesn’t add up.
That is bulkshit we best Clemson twice and we get an 8 seed and they get a 5.
And Clemson is a 5 seed. Cards have better out of conference schedule than Clemson and beat them twice, once at their place. What a crock
How the heck do the kitty cats get a #3 after losing 11 games and nearly a 30 point loss to Bama in their last game
They also got the easiest draw to the sweet sixteen in the whole thing.
It is unabashedly a total crock of sh!t. No one on that committee can defend their decisions because they are spineless.
I was going to say unbelievable, but it was actually predictable when you know ESPN/Lunardi discounted this UL team despite the success we witnessed.
^^^^^ I think you captured the best argument, one that someone within that Committee must first answer and then explain it. I will only add one more point …… UL’s loss to #1 Duke in the ACC Tournament Championship apparently was totally discounted, particularly the way other conference tournament runner ups who lost to 1 seeds were treated.
I think Auburn should be behind Duke and possibly Florida. Two more losses than Duke in addition to losing head to head, and that’s not good enough for Duke to jump them? Is the SEC really that good? It seeks like some ridiculous SEC bias just like football.
The CBS Sports Network has a guy calling out the SEC getting 14 teams in right at the start of the show. Chris something who played at Villanova.
I'm not going to enter any bracket or support this tournament in any way. Once Louisville is eliminated, I'm not going to watch another game.
I think the University AD should publicly demand an explanation. There should be someone who can explain how Louisville received a 8 seed. Clemson who Louisville beat twice and has more quad 1 wins than the Tigers, received a 5 seed.
How can that be explained? The media isn't going to make much a fuss over it because they mostly hold the same disdain for Louisville basketball. But this has to be one of the worst seedings the NCAA tournament has ever committed.

This is what they do and it's blatantly in our face yet trying to get somebody other than us to explain it is impossible. They have different guidelines for different leagues or in our case,our team. It's a great point.
Heird should exit the ACC. it's a dead league when FSU and Clemson leave. there's no respect for the league except for Duke and UNC bias.
Louisville coach Pat Kelsey on ESPN radio with
on the Cardinals seeding:
"Man, so first of all I just want to say how fortunate we are and excited we are to be playing in the national tournament and representing our school and our city. I'll be completely honest with you when we were watching the selection show and that popped up, you know, it hurt a little bit. You felt slighted a little bit."

All we have to do is get by Creighton, then beat Auburn.
Do that and the sec will eat somebody’s ass for our seeding. Be ironic to see the sec bitching because we got screwed.
Simple. 😉
