No kidding. I have a hard time seeing Louisville losing in the AAC tourney, or in the NCAA tourney. The way they played us in the last 25 minutes and the way they completely dominated UConn is a reminder that they are capable of winning it all again. If Russ Smith and Chris Jones get going offensively and they play that smothering defensive we saw in the second half, they're almost unbeatable.

I think the one factor that could play into our favor if we play them is the officials. If the officials decide to call the game tightly (a la call hand checks on the L'ville guards), we stand a chance of beating them.

I liken the L'ville D to the Seattle secondary. Their mantra is we are going to hold/maul you every play because the refs won't call a penalty on every play. If they start getting flagged, they adjust their play. If you can pull it off, it's extremely effective.
