Louisville 71 Notre Dame 64

Nice win on Senior Day, needed that one. Cards snap the Irish 6-game winning streak.

 

Cards shot 14-16 from the line. Much improved.

Snider played very well 17pts and 6 asst with 2 turnovers, Mathiang with double double 18 and 11. Cards are definitely a dangerous bunch

No one will want to play them in the tourney, Cards will be a very tough out.

Congrats to the Cards good day for basketball in the state of Kentucky.

Way to go Cards, glad to snap the losing streak.

Nice win for the Cards, ND has a solid team.

Nice win for the Cards.

Louisville struggled offensively for big stretches of this one, especially early in the game. Mahmoud COULD NOT STOP putting layups off the front of the rim. Never seen a team so skilled at missing the easy ones.

 

The series of insane matchups between Louisville and ND did continue though, including what seems to be a pretty even series this year. Cards won by 7 in Louisville; Irish won by 7 in South Bend.

 

Cards get the double bye and the No. 4 seed in the ACC tournament. Play the survivor of Clemson/NC State and Duke on Thursday afternoon.

Cards primed and ready for tourney.......look out!!!

Just a terrible draw for the ACC tourney. Are we sure they aren't the 14 seed and not the 4?

With the insane bunch-up at seeds 2-6, I don't know how many good draws were available.

 

But two things hurt us: 1) only having a road game at FSU -- lost that game by five points without Q. Snider and it ended up being crucial to the tiebreaker and 2) dropping that game at Wake this week. Beat Wake and we're the 2 seed and looking at a quarterfinal against VT instead of Duke.

 

Three seasons in the ACC and three 12-6 records. I'm not thrilled but overall pretty pleased with our start in the conference.

It certainly could have been worse.

This is what happens when a team like Duke underachieves. Somebody's gonna draw these guys as a likely 4 seed in the NCAA tourney!

Continuing to look for the bright side…. this time last year our season was over, so at least we are playing in March. lol

 

Game time Thurs. is at 2pm. Will definitely need to head out of work early. Go Cards!

Louisville is really playing well right now, I look for the Cards to make a Deep, really deep tourney run.
