NCAA Tournament: Louisville Cardinals Preview [Sports]

The brackets have been set and Louisville will be headed out West to Portland, Oregon. They will face the Davidson Wildcats in the 1st round game, the winner will be the winner of New Mexico vs Long Beach State. We take a look at the West Region in this article.

All things considered. You have to be happy with the draw for the Louisville Cardinals. The only complaint is that they have to travel 3,000 miles to play in Portland. While I certainly won't argue this fact, the last time Louisville went to the Final Four they were out West.

Pro cardinals: weekly recap of former University of Louisville stars in the NBA
Stats from 4/8-4/15.

Active U of L NBA-ers:

  • Earl Clark- Orlando Magic, the back-up small forward is seeing quality minutes for defensive purposes. Clark is receiving more time due to the roster shakeup with Dwight Howard being out with a back injury. Even with the increased minutes, the actual production has been spotty for Earl this week, 1.7 points per game and was held scoreless twice in four games. The fourth year forward is averaging 2ppg and 2.5rpg this season.

Greg and Jim, on CBS
“At the end of the day, everybody still puts their hand over their heart when ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ is played.”

Two of the nicest guys in the Commonwealth appeared on the CBS Morning Show today, to discuss the UK/UofL rivalry being played out later this evening in New Orleans.  Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Lexington Mayor Jim Gray were interviewed by CBS’s Chip Reid, who questioned them about the historical Final Four match-up that will determine who’s going to the NCAA basketball tournament championship game.

Mayors of Louisville & Lexington meet to discuss economic development; end up with Final Four trash talk [Opinion: The Arena]

A friendly wager...
Fischer said he hoped the whiskey would “take the sting” out of UK’s predicted loss against the Louisville Cardinals next Saturday. He hinted that Wildcat fans needed to “start medicating” as soon as possible.

The mayors of Louisville and Lexington met today at the Kentucky History Center, in Frankfort, ostensibly to discuss economic development issues with other business and government officials.  But we are in the midst of “March Madness,” so the conversations  naturally devolved into NCAA Final Four trash talk.
