Everyone has fallen in love with this team. It's hard to blame people considering how impressive the Irish have been. Louisville however is doing the same thing they do every season - improving and coming on strong come tourney time. Keep in mind that Louisville really should have knocked off Notre Dame in South Bend a few weeks back - no small feat. The Irish were able to send it to OT and shot lights out in the extra session.
I love Notre Dame just like a lot of people and i think they are a major threat in the tournament, but Louisville is a very underrated squad with an excellent coach. Pitino has been here before... I'm putting my money on the Cardinals tonight. Good luck.
