Route to the No. 3 Seed



Louisville did not lose a single game in the month of February, going 8-0 en route to a #2 seed in their

conference tournament. The Cardinals have faced eleven NCAA tournament teams this year, nine of whom made

it to the round of 32. Needless to say, this team is battle tested.



Despite losing their final two Big East games, at Georgetown and versus eventual Big East tournament

champion Pittsburgh, the Cardinals have the depth and the athleticism to make a push towards the Final Four

this season.
