This is why I always say...wake me on 1 February...Record 9-1...it is now Pitino Time...

From the article:

"OK, Louisville, we're all paying attention now.

The Cardinals have closed out their regular season by winning nine of 10, landing at 26-5, which is the same end-of-season record last year's Louisville team took into its league tournament.

Rick Pitino's players swallowed UConn whole, winning 81-48 and looking very much like a team entering that ever-coveted "peaking at the right time" phase of the timetable.

By no means is this Louisville group flying under the radar now, but for a time it certainly was from a national standpoint. For a long time, this wasn't considered a team worthy of defending its national championship. Yes, remember, this program is currently the title-holder in the sport. And although point guard Peyton Siva is gone and rim protector Gorgui Dieng is also earning an NBA paycheck, the Cardinals have the capability to make a run at the rare achievement of winning consecutive national titles."

Just remember....As Louisville Native and Fan Muhammad Ali would say....The Champs are Here:

Hard to argue with right now.

Although it took a last-second shot for UL to take us out. So, I'd say we are right there too.

UofL has as good a shot of running deep in march as anybody that's for sure

Absolutely Cincinnati is there. And Memphis depending on which Team shows up is worthy of a deep run.

March is much kinder to Pitino Team then to Pastner Team...plus kind of doubt you get past UC....

As long as UCONN doesn't run into Louisville or SMU , we'll also be fine.

Go Louisville I will be pulling for you and other AAC schools to make deep runs in the NCAA Tournament and make it rain NCAA units

Yep, there are about 10 teams that could win it and the Cards are certainly one of them. Especially when nobody has an athletically dominant team, it's the great coaches that shine this time of year and UL has one of the very best.

Depending on match ups all five American NCAA teams could make a strong run or be out the first weekend. I think my Cards have a good run in them! I hope for a third straight final four, I will feel ok with a sweet 16 but anything else will be a heart breaker! Defending the National title seems a dream to far but who knows!

Past performance has nothing to do with this year's teams. You sound like a UK fan, lol.

And I was talking about the NCAAs, not the AACT. As for that, you guys lucked out by losing the coin toss.

Agreed. At least one region is going to have more than one AAC team, and I have no desire for UCONN to share a region with any of you.

i'd be happy with a sweet 16 but i really want elite 8 or beyond

We fail to make the Sweet 16 then I'm going to call it a bad ending

Current performance...Record is 9-1...beat Top 25 UConn by 30 plus points...Currently Ranked Top 10 and AAC Regular Season Co-Champs...

As they say History has a way of "REPEATING" itself...it's March/April....Pitino Time...just a reminder...

And Deep Louisville NCAA Tournament Runs... it is Pitino Time...sit back, watch and learn...maybe one day you "might" hang a National Title Banner like Cincinnati and UConn...L1C4 has 3 and is the Current Defending National Champion...The Champs are Here...

And We're Rollin' into Memphis along the Way!

Yeah, you guys lucked out in the tourney draw. You almost have a pass to the championship game. Let's see how great you are if we could get through both UConn and UC, which will be tough. We're your kryptonite this year, lol.
