Remember when Louisville was playing at SMU and Luke Hancock was trying to dribble the clock out and not run up the score? Then the SMU player stole and ball and tried to dunk, so Luke dribbled down court and found Montrezl Harrell who pretty much ripped down the goal, and SMU fans got mad….
I think we are all finished believing the notion that the selection committee doesn’t look for story-lines when making the brackets. I haven’t even looked at a bracket yet, other than when they show up on TV, because for some reason I usually wait until I fill mine out on Tuesday or Wednesday to even look at…

Gorgui Dieng got the start for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night in place of injured center Nikola Pekovic, and he stepped up big time. He played 37 minutes and had 12 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 steals! It was his first double double in the NBA as the Timberwolves beat the Sacramento…
Shock. That’s what most of CardNation including myself felt when Louisville was announced the 4 seed in the Midwest bracket. A bracket that will go down as one of the all time hardest including 3 of last years final four (Louisville, Wichita St., and Michigan) and the Cards hated rival Uk. Every analyst on…

Ok so the question here is what seed SHOULD Louisville get on Sunday? Not what you think they WILL get, because that can be based on what media people are projecting. This is just your opinion. What SHOULD they get? And if your answer isn’t on this poll, then you shouldn’t be voting anyway.
