It wasn’t too long ago that Louisville basketball was sitting in great shape for the NCAA tournament. On February 9th, the NCAA released a sneak peak at what the selection committee thought the top 16 teams were seeded. Louisville came in as a 4 seed.
At the start of the season, I don’t think anyone thought that a 4 seed or higher was a possibility for the Cardinals. However, in early February it was looking that away. Louisville had just gone on a run winning 7 of their last 8 games, including two huge road wins against North Carolina and Virginia Tech.
