February has wounded men’s basketball for two straight seasons. Last year, the NCAA took away Louisville’s 2013 national title during the month. This year, the Cardinals lost six of eight disheartening games to end the month.
While there’s not much to add to discourse surrounding the NCAA ruling, the passage of time always offers a new perspective. Louisville has rebounded from its crippling sanctions with a 19-11 record against the fourth toughest schedule in the country, including its recent 75-61 win over Notre Dame on Senior Day.
Still, fans might say that settling with a solid season isn’t good enough for Louisville’s historic program.
