Good Lord did Rick Pitino and the coaches have our guys ready. There are not enough superlatives to cover what I just saw but that was one incredible team performance. Terry Rozier was beyond incredible but everyone played well and Pitino is the best.

Sweet 16 and L1C4 proud! GO CARDS
 
Awesome effort, guards flat carried us! Terry went off, Q and Wayne were solid. We shot the ball well, from everywhere (3 pt line, FT's)!
 
Great game. I hope the commentators can now vacate UNIs jock and get on nc states before Friday.
 
All of that with Montrezl on Mars for half the game.

Friday at 7:30 cant get here fast enough.
 
Excellent game plan by CRP and staff and well executed by the team!

Rozier was silky smooth and an absolute stud out there today.

Another solid performance from Snider.

Great team win!
 
Betting (and crusading) against Rick Pitino just isn't wise.

Bilas picked the Cards FWIW.

IDC who they pick to be honest because it won't be up to them. The players and coaches will decide who wins.

4th straight year of making it at least to the sweet sixteen. We don't celebrate sweet 16 appearances at UofL, but it's still a nice accomplishment for a team that was all but dead less than 2 weeks ago.
 
I hope fans realize what a great coaching job Pitino did in these last two games. Talking to people they look so much at the opponent names but these were great wins. N. Iowa especially was a great coaching job. They are a great team and we controlled that whole game.
 
Bilas, barkley, our own eric crawford and tom lane all picked UNI.

Kenny the Jet Smith picked UofL for the FF.

I had VA beating UofL in the elite 8. Now UofL beats MSU and heads to Indy.
 
Louisville shot 45.8 percent from the field and scoring 66 points on a Northern Iowa team that came into the game allowing opponents an average of just 54.3 ppg, good for fourth-best in the country. A great TEAM game by the UofL players and a GREAT coaching job by the staff. GO CARDS!!!!

It can't be said loud enough. Coach Pitino has done a masterful job of coaching this team, and he's been doing it all season long. I really believe this is his best coaching job since he's been at UofL. It was magnified these last 2 games because of the stage but those 2 teams provided different challenges and required much different coaching strategies to defeat them.

That UNI team was as solid as any team the Cards played this year in the ACC not named Duke. I wouldn't put them on the Blue Devil level but they have a solid basketball team.
 
Agree with whoever said Pitino deserves a lot of credit here. This is definitely his best coaching job for a season at U of L and probably ranks up there with the job he did in 1992 taking Duke to wire with Jamal Mashburn and a bunch of throw ins.

Once they got their bearings together after losing Chris, they have really played well. The team is in good hands with Q, and there is no reason to think now that we don't get out of this bracket.

In many ways this team reminds me of the 2012 team. Challenged offensively, but play great team defense and will not be blown out by anyone. As long as we are in a game, we have a master on the sidelines to help bring it home.
