I'll give you that, there is something to say about the level of competition beating EACH other up. It's been a long drawn out seriously grueling season. I think Louisville has a little advantage here though by getting the double bye and the fact that Pitino has this bunch in incredible physical condition. You don't see alot of Rick's teams affected by fatigue too much as they get to run and ride those bikes ALOT, LOL. Heck Williams can play 40 minutes and challenge somebody to a full court pick up game when it's over that guy has just over the top stamina like I've never seen before.
