Editor’s Note: Guest poster Marty Pulliam was a backup center on the University of Louisville’s first NCAA championship basketball team in 1980. Marty returned to Mercer County where he still resides today. Thanks to Marty for his thoughts on UofL’s fate on Selection Sunday:
My feelings on this? Well, I wish that the Cards had played better and had more success this season. Had that happened we would be in the tournament.
It is disappointing that we did not make the tournament and it is disappointing that our “body of work” was not good enough to qualify as one of the best at-large teams that the committee uses to fill out the open spots.
