Louisville played a hell of a game...fun to watch...

Short of Rozier pulling up too soon to shoot on that last possession and driving further into the lane...and short of Mathieng hitting both free throws instead of 1 at the end of regulation...not sure what else they could have done. They left it all out there and that's all you can ask.

With Louisville's record, competitiveness, and being in the hunt every year here lately...Pitino might hang around. He's a HOF coach. Seems to live for March and love the tourney. Three more years?

I saw Michigan State play Duke in the Champions Classic back in November in Indy...I thought they looked terrible. That has obviously changed. Their run as a #7 seed kind of reminds me of Kentucky's last year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat Duke this time around.
