We take a look at what Athlon Sports predicted for this Louisville basketball season and where they were right or wrong.

Well, it hasn’t been the most exciting couple of days around the Louisville basketball program as the NCAA’s allegations were announced on Thursday. The good news is that the penalties will probably not be as bad as everyone was worrying about going into the season.

While the questions about the 2013 National Championship is still unknown, it sounds as though the school is confident that will not become a target for the NCAA to go after since Louisville has been cooperative with the investigations.

In just a few weeks, Louisville can silence all of the nonsense and start playing basketball again. It should be another exciting season around the Ville’ with a large part last year’s team returning.

We all wish that Damion Lee and Trey Lewis could have just one more go around in the Cardinals uniform, but unfortunately that is not going to happen. The good news is that the Cards have two very solid players coming into the program with V.J. King and Tony Hicks. Both players will have huge expectations on their shoulders throughout the 2016-2017 season.

Athlon Sports just released their season preview for the Louisville Basketball team, therefore we take a look a five critiques of their predictions and reviews.
