I agree with Mike and several other bloggers on here, I love our bracket.

Some ass holes like Gottlieb and Digger have us gone before the Suite 16 either losing to Davidson or New Mexico. Fuck them, Digger is still mad from Louisville whooping Notre Dame and Gottlieb has always been an asshole.

I honestly don't see why the media is so Gaga about New Mexico, i don't see them beating Long Beach State. I think we FINALLY get over the first round hump and Pitino is going to coach his life out for Davidson. After that I see a rematch with Long Beach State and we dominate that rematch as well.

Then we get to the bully of our bracket, the team that put Louisville out of the tournament that was Louisville's to lose, Michigan State. Shades of T-Will and Earl's final game against MSU still haunt me today, and I want that rematch. With all due respect to future Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo, I think Rick Pitino is a better basketball coach, Izzo has always had the great players while Pitino is the best 'teaching' coach.

I think we get over Michigan State for one of the tournaments early upsets and end up playing Marquette who would be fresh off a win over Mizzouri.

Both Louisville and Marquette would both be coming off eliminating the West brackets favorites and will be a low scoring, physical game. But as we seen in the past, we are a more physical and more well conditioned than almost any team in the nation including Marquette. I think our offense will be slowed own but our defense will be top level.

We make a surprising UCONN like run into the final four along with college basketballs finest: Duke, Syracuse, and Kansas.

Sadly but inevitably, we run out of gas against Duke and Pitino is out coached by Coach K. But to me that is fine, we did way more than exceed expectations from where we thought we would end up two months ago.

After consecutive years of Syracuse being the favorite to win the Big East as well as the National Title, they finally get theirs this year. Their (what seems like) tenth year players finally leave and their off to another conference while we are stuck in what will seem to be a mid-major Big East conference next year.

We catch media attention and become a pre-season top 5 team next year with expectations of another deep, more successful tournament run.

I think we can do it guys, our men know there is no tomorrow and they are playing their hearts out. Siva will keep his intensity and Kuric will have a new start to trying to find his stroke in the big dance. Chane develops more along with Russ, giving them tournament experience that we can use as next year fire.

Let's do it guys, lets paint the bracket Infrared and show the world that The Ville is for real.

Before I start, it still seems unreal, WE ARE THE BIG EAST CHAMPIONS!

Simple as that guys, our defense keeps up and we will be cutting down the nets tonight.

Well guys we are off to our second consecutive Big East Championship game and our third in four years.

Now here are some things to take in mind and help you feel a bit more optimistic about tomorrows game.

Since the 12:00 PM mark yesterday I have been pretty discouraged by this Cardinal team. Then came the 10:00 PM mark when I started to ring in the new year with A LOT of Crown Royal and Moscato, pretty weird combination I know, but I thought A LOT!

I know it's one game of the year, but THREE straight times against our rival. What does it take to beat these guys, their whole team is under-classmen. A team of Freshman and Sophomores dominated our Senior led team, if you ask me that's embarrassing.

Well guys, we have reached possibly the biggest game of the year. A game we have been waiting for ever since Louisville was ranked in the top 5 recruiting class along with rival Kentucky. A game we have been waiting for ever since we found that we were ranked in the top 10 with the cats.

The bragging rights will start tomorrow and will continue for another 12 month untill next years meeting.

As the kids say now a days "LEH-GO."

Very compelling title eh?

So we finally held a "Midnight Madness," event sort-of. Here is what I thought.

After majority fans had to sit and watch their Cardinals on their Television back in mid August when the Cards held exhibition games in the Bahamas, 11,000 people got a closer preview of this years highly touted pre-season top 10 hopeful Louisville squad holding their annual Red-White scrimmage in the sophomore year of the multi-million dollar KFC YUM! Center Friday night.

Junior slashing star guard Peyton Siva showed just why he was an All American coming into Louisville, hitting a last second jump shot to help his White team defeat the Red team in a thrilling 86-85 victory.

The White squad led by Siva and Senior F Kyle Kuric had a seven point lead withabout seven minutes left to go in the second half. With only 23 seconds left to go in the game, the White squad was up 84-83 until George Mason transfer Luke Hancock hit a jumper that would put the red team ahead by one 85-84.

Nothing that Peyton Siva has ever seen before, down by one in crunch time, no big deal. Siva pulled up in the paint for a clutch jump shot with just once second remaining, putting an exclamation point of this years basketball preview.

Let's start off with Starters:

Peyton Siva- Quicker than a hiccup, and his defence is awesome. It seems like he was stealing the ball on every Red team turnover. It looks like when he drives the lane, there is no stopping him. If it helps, he also hit the last second jumper to give the white team the victory. (19 points, 9 steals, 7 assist)

Chris Smith- Saw some good transition 3 point shots that went in. In my mind probably the pull up mid range shooter on the team. In my mind he battles Siva for the most athletic on the team. He looks a lot more focused and determined. (9 points 5 assist)

Kyle Kuric- Still King Kyle. He struggled early on in his "Kyles Korner," but is moving really well and his D has improved. To me he looks a lot quickerthan last year. He did hit five- 3 pointers. Wouldn't surprise me if this year he tries to be more of a play maker all-around dude instead of one dimension 3-point shooter. (24 points 7 rebounds)

Chane Behanan- That's it, there is no player I am more excited about this season than him. The dude gets back down court quicker than the guards. Early he had a few beautiful touch baby hooks. When he deep in the post its automatic. He had some explosive dunks and looks like the dude that wore #24 a few years ago, but better. THIS MAN IS A BEAST. (20 points 10 Rebounds)

Gorgui Dieng- Dude has put on some weight. But 6 fouls in the first 10 minutes of the game even for a exhibition game for the fans is still a lot. He looks so aggressive in a really good way. Him and Chane went at it in the post and that was fun to watch. I will make a bold predictionif you will, Gorgui will lead the nation in blocks. (26 points 17 rebounds 5 blocks)

Now lets hit our deep, deep, deep, deep, deep bench.

Russ Smith- Where in the world this dude come from. Russ Smith was on fire on both offence and defence. This is one scrappy ball player, he is going to be that annoying dog that just keeps biting your leg to other teams this year. His shooting has improved by much and doesn't look scared and jittery. I think we may have found a possible 6th man. (17 points 7 steals)

Mike Marra- The once labeled "Best shooter I've ever coached," by Coach Rick Pitino, struggled last night. Shot 25% from the field last night (4-12) but all of his made baskets came from three point shooting (4-8). (12 points 4 assist)

Tim Henderson- Never been that high on this guy. Hendo really struggled from the field as well shooting 25%. (6 points)

Luke Hancock- Dude, I am really sad that we will not be able to see him play this year. He looks like a poor mans David Padgett mixed with a smaller version's Clark. He can dribble pretty good for a big dude. (12 points 4 assist)

Elisha Justice- Ehhh, not so good. He is still sexy. (0 points)

Jared Swopshire- Swop put on an inspiring performance played 19 minutes. Looks like he is moving well but you can see that he is not the player he was 2 years ago because of his injury. All he needs is to shake that rust off and he will be the same, maybe better. Im saying around the Kentucky game he will be 100% (7 points)

Zach Price- Looked really good up until that injury. Looks like a starter if he stays healthy and could be switchedout with Gorgui throughout the year for a starters spot. (14 points 3 blocks)

Angel Nunez- Angel struggled last night. But he did show spots of great versatility. I think the 3 spot is a great fit for him. As time goes by he could have a T-Will effect. He is built like the former Card just an inch taller. (6'7) (5 points)

Is it basketball season yet?

What do you guys think of the squad? I see us winning the Big East this year. I hate UK but it is pretty cool that two Kentucky schools are projected top 10 preseason rankings. It's nice to see the state of Kentucky is getting recognized.

A few thoughts rain through my head as the basketball anticipation heats up. Should we be jealous of Kentucky.
