March 22, 201016 yr Pitino told ESPN.com that he was retiring at UofL. I know people will slam this link (as usual), but I put more stock into this than Bender's facebook page. link
March 22, 201016 yr Well Louisville lost to Charlotte and West Carolina. 2 powerhouses. But Louisville beat Syracuse twice and that is all that got them in.
March 22, 201016 yr Well Louisville lost to Charlotte and West Carolina. 2 powerhouses. But Louisville beat Syracuse twice and that is all that got them in. Those two wins are what got them in. But, two top 5 wins along with a winning league record will just about get anyone in. Take Miss. St. for example, their resume was similar to UofL's minus the two top 5 wins. Had they beat UK in either or both of those OT games they would of made it too. The two teams you mentioned don't have anything close to those two Cuse wins.

They'll never say they're going anywhere.
March 22, 201016 yr I just don't see one FF appearance and 1 SEC title as being steeped in history. WOW!Quit misrepresenting my comments. I said the Final Four appearance disputed your claim that they had "no history" prior ro Donovan getting there ... nothing more, nothing less.
March 22, 201016 yr The Big East had more teams in the tournament because it's a bigger conference. More doesnt mean you get more. The A-10 has 14 schools but only 3 got bids. Big East has 16 teams and got 8 bids. I meant to say "better conference" ... my bad.
March 22, 201016 yr Things have changed in Florida, this was the 3rd season in a row that they have been down. When he was offered the UK job (the first time) and the Magic job, UF was on top of the world. They're not so much anymore. And UL is................ Program is down big time. I guess a new arena makes a job appealing, hmmmm.....................
March 22, 201016 yr And UL is................ Program is down big time. I guess a new arena makes a job appealing, hmmmm..................... UofL down bigtime??? They've been to two elite 8's and a final four since 05. I wouldn't call that down big time.:confused:
March 23, 201016 yr Quit misrepresenting my comments. I said the Final Four appearance disputed your claim that they had "no history" prior ro Donovan getting there ... nothing more, nothing less. Quit misrepresenting mine. One Final Four run doesn't equal history to me, and I had already mentioned it anyways. You're the one that picked the fight :lol:. Like I said, Billy D made UF basketball, take it or leave it but it's pretty much the truth. And UL is................ Program is down big time. I guess a new arena makes a job appealing, hmmmm..................... Seriously? A.) U of L is the better overall program. You know, sort of like Cal leaving Memphis for UK? B.) U of L was a 1 seed last year so it's not like they haven't been good lately.:idunno:

They won the BIG EAST just last year and was the overall #1 seed. They have been to more sweet sixteens and elight eights and final fours in the last 5 years than big brother, and I am about as big of a UK fan as you can find. I don't think UofL is in the catagorey as UK, Kansas, UNC, UCLA, or Duke when you talk about tradition and resources, but they are WELL ABOVE & BEYOND Flordia IMO.

No one disputes that Donovan has taken the program to new heights, but the claim that Florida had "no history" before he got there wasn't true.
