The Cards finished their regular season yesterday and well………..they are good. With UC, Memphis, SMU, and UConn the Cards finished with about as hard a stretch as anyone in the country. Due to a coin flip we know the Cards will be the #2 seed in the AAC Tournament but where will they be in the NCAA? The one question everyone wants to know is can the Cards get a #1 seed still? The common answer is no BUT CBS writer Gary Parrish seems to think the Cards are one of the teams that still can land that coveted #1 Seed. In his article Parrish said:
Louisville
RPI ranking: 21 | Record: 26-5
Top 50 wins: 6 | Top 100 wins: 7
Losses outside of the top 50: 0
Some thoughts: There are only five teams with zero losses outside of the top 50 of the RPI, and Louisville is one of them. So that’s the best part of the Cardinals’ resume — no bad losses. If they can add two more top-50 wins in the American tournament, they might have a shot at getting a No. 1 seed for the second straight season.
Regardless of the seed the Cards are looking like one of the favorites to be in Dallas but a 1 can’t hurt.
