November 2, 20178 yr UofL overcame a soft SOS by being dominant early and hanging on late to secure a Top 8 seed in 2017. They rode that home field advantage at JPat to Omaha after defeating UK in the Super. The 2018 schedule is out and it looks like they may need to be dominant again (which will be tough based on departures). ACC - the 30 games you get are beyond your control. Based on past history and projected talent, schedule is definitely front-loaded and good mix of H and A. Highlights include: UNC (Top 8 [#2] last year) at JPat to kick off the ACC schedule MAR 9-11 @Wake (Top 16) for weekend #2 Clemson (Top 16) in weekend #3 @fsu (Top 16) in weekend #4 NC St. (#3 in UK Regional) in weekend #5 UVa (#2 in TCU Regional) in weekend #7 Non-Conference - big addition of 2 home games against Texas Tech who were Top 8 (#5). Home & home w/ UK (Top 16), @Vandy (#2 but won Clemson Regional) and IU (#2 in UK Regional) are solid tests. The rest is nothing to write home about. Missed opportunities to schedule big opening weekend (UofL is playing round-robin at The Citadel where Coach Mc played) and the off ACC weekend (Indiana St. at JPat). That said, I trust McD and know they will be ready when the bell rings. Go Cards!!!
