BIG EAST CHAMPS – PERIOD!
Posted by frankpos on March 15, 2009
There is no doubt now–if there ever was.
Regular season champs and now the tourney title.
WE are the best team in the Big East — not UConn, not Pitt, and certainly not media darling Syracuse.
WE deserve a #1 seed in the Big Dance — the OVERALL #1 seed! WE just won the biggest, baddest conference of all -time, in every way possible. No other potential # 1– except Memphis from mid-major, weakling Conference USA– won its regular season and tourney titles.
Not North Carolina, not Michigan St–or Pitt or UConn.
Just US.
*******************************************************************
Will we get that overall #1 seed? Will we leapfrog everyone to #1 in the AP poll, too?
Probably a big NO on both counts, because of the national media bias.
************************************************************
But… it doesn’t matter.
Card Fans: Savor this moment. Sip it slowly, like your best bourbon, and let it warm you well inside.
This mad scramble rebound and outlet pass from TWill led to...

I have watched Louisville basketball for over 40 years, and this is truly, truly one of the landmark victories in U of L history.
.... to this virtual game ending breakaway jam by Earl.
**********************************************************
And, this is one very special team.
GO CARDS!

Good stuff, Frank. I finally ended up going to bed at about 330AM, almost too jacked up even then to sleep. I cant wait to see what prudat comes up with wallpaper wise with all the great photos available.

Great writeup, Tremendous victory for the Cards, who surely secured the #1 overall seed tonight. They moved to #4 in the RPI, with the best RPI record against the top 25, which is 7-1. Only Pitt (7-3) has as many victories in the top 25. I am so happy for the players, and we will guarantee them a great homecoming. On to Mo City!!!!!
