For Chris Mack and Louisville basketball, expectations are as high as they’ve ever been entering the 2019-20 season.
The Cards are coming off of a first-round loss to Minnesota in the 2019 NCAA tournament, but the fact that they even made it there as a seven seed in the West region was quite an accomplishment.
Louisville was picked 11th out of the 15 team ACC during the conference media days, yet the Cards stormed out to a tie for first place mid-way through conference play. Though their hopes of making an improbable Final Four run fizzled quickly after a lack of depth and options led to a shaky finish, Mack’s squad will be back and much stronger next season.
