Okay, I have some crow to eat after Louisville's big send-off win over the 'Cuse. I have said in the past that I didn't really see Kuric as a a key part of the rotation problems Louisville has been facing all season. I said he wasn't that good of that defensive player, and that he seemed to be too inconsistent offensively to be a regular contributor. To my surprise and personal delight, I was mistaken. He played like he cared more than anyone else on the court that the Cards would be the winners when the clock read 00:00. Even though my blood is blue, I am elated that the Ville will be in the Big Dance (I almost typed Bill Dance...its an easy mixup), and that Kuric got his chance to prove me and Pitino wrong.
