In what became a tail of two halves the Louisville Cardinals move on to New Orleans next Saturday with a 72-68 win and now wait for the winner of Baylor and UK.

In the 1st half with Coach Rick Pitino opting for a match up zone the Florida Gators shot the lights out for a 41-33 lead and 70% from the field and 8-11 from beyond the arc.

In the second half it was a different story all together as Pitino went to his unusual man to man defense and held the Gators to 0-9 from the arc…

 Coach Carter and Jean-Mary

I guess we can say that Florida is a team that doesn’t make a lot of TURNOVERS while dishing off numerous ASSISTS resulting in a high ASSIST TO TURNOVER…

The Cardinals avenged their 2009 Elite loss to Michigan State with a 57-44 win. The game was never close in the second half. Except for a brief Sparty run which was followed by a bigger UL run to put them up 11. Gorgui had the defensive performance of the night with 7 blocks, 3 steals, 9 rebounds and 5 points all while playing the entire 40 minutes of the game. Chane Behanan led all scorers with 15 points, all of which he scored in the second half. He also grabbed 9 rebounds and snagged 4…

The standout CB from Miami Norhtwestern just decided to decommitt from Alabama and currently has Louisville in his list of top five schools he is thinking of making official visits to during the summer.

UM,FSU are some of the schools that are on his list with Cards being right in the top due to a lot of ex-teammates like Teddy,Eli,Lamb and Harris that are recruiting him to The Ville.

Stay tune to CD as we bring you the latest from South Florida on Card recruits.

This is the exact question that is on all Cards fans minds. The 2009 rendition of the Cards was arguably the best of the Pitino era and probably easily the most talented (2 McDonald's All-Americans and the freak that was T-Will.) And I still believe we would have ran away with a National Championship if Louisville's 2006 class had stayed together. We're looking at you Derrick Caracter.

However, on March 29th, 2009 Michigan State not only beat that Cardinal team they took them…

Michigan State looks like they are one of the best teams in the arguably best Basketball Conference in the NCAA as the Big 10 currently leads all other conferences with an 81.8% winning percent in this year’s tournament.  The Big East is 3^rd with a 68.8% success rate.  The SEC is 2^nd…

Although the Big 10 Conference is begining to look like the strongest conference after Round 3, Big East teams should have a lot to say about wether or not the Big 10 is going to be the dominate Conference after upcoming Round 4.  Louisville goes up against Michigan State, Cincinnati and Ohio State square off, and Syraccuse and Wisconsin compete to find out which conferece can claim bragging rights.  Potentially, the SEC might start their usual haranguing and braggadocious…

This will be the first time since 09 that Louisville has advance this far and now gets a chance to knock off the Spartans and Tom Izzo who's had his team in the NCAA Tournament 15 years in a row.

The Big 10 leads all the Major Conferences in winning percentage after the 1st (play-in round) and 2nd Round of the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament.  Here are the winners and losers of each major conference:

Saturday, the surging UL Cardinals take on former I.U. star, Coach Steve Alford, and the 28 win and 6 loss New Mexico Lobos who currently are sporting a 6 game winning streak.  They were tournament champ of the Mountain West Conference and they tied with San Diego State for the regular season title.  Last…
