What a Basketball Weekend

The University of Louisville basketball team had the most awesome weekend. They knocked off the number one seed in their region, Washington, and then came roaring back from 20 down to beat West Virginia in overtime. They are not the best team talent wise in college basketball this year - North Carolina or Illinois gets the nod there. For heart, determination, and sheer will to win, U of L is tops.

The Cards are freerolling now, playing with house money after making the Final Four. In their next game, they will be back in the role they play well - the underdog. Arizona proved that Illinois is beatable. If the Cards take the next two games one game at a time, and one half at a time, you never know what will happen. Next up - Illinois on Saturday.

I am really disappointed for Kentucky. I really wanted them to go to the Final Four, too, and at least set up the possibility of a U of L - UK final game. Chuck Hayes is gone after this year, but the underclassmen on this team have a ton of talent. Next year should be another great year for the Cats.

GO CARDS!
