After dropping 11 of their last 15 games, the Cardinals RPI fell all the way to 74 after being eliminated from the ACC Tournament by Georgia Tech on Thursday. Although they had 17 wins against Q1 and Q2 teams, a low RPI combined with a SOS of 62, did not warrant a NCAA tournament bid.
Louisville finished with a record of 28-22 (16-16 ACC) and lost quite a few head scratchers along the way. The second week of the season, Western Illinois took the first game of a three game series at Jim Patterson Stadium. Western Illinois finished 259th in the RPI.
