We take a look at the most recent bracketology where the Louisville basketball team just made a huge jump in seeding.

The Louisville basketball team’s win over Kentucky will definitely help them move up in the polls next week and has also helped them in the most recent “bracketology”.

Joe Lunardi from ESPN updated his projected NCAA Tournament bracket following the Cards’ win over the Wildcats on Wednesday night and it looks like they are in a great spot.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the projected match-ups:

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 16 North Dakota or Long Beach State

The first game of this Midwest region is projected to be the Kansas Jayhawks versus either North Dakota or Long Beach State. It makes sense that Lunardi has Kansas in one of the four top seeds since they are currently the third ranked team in the country and beat Duke when the Blue Devils were number one in the country.

The Jayhawks will be tested throughout the entirety of their 2016 schedule, but it’s not something they haven’t faced before.

This would obviously be a first round win for Kansas against either of these schools. The Cards have already faced Long Beach State this season, therefore we already know they can’t play with elite division one basketball teams.

Next: No. 8 vs. No. 9
