We take a look at ten different reasons why the Louisville basketball team can win the National Championship in 2016-2017.

The Louisville basketball team has come into this season ranked as the number 13th team in the country. They weren’t able to play in the NCAA tournament last season, but have every piece to make a deep postseason run in 2016-2017.

Donovan Mitchell, Deng Adel, and Jaylen Johnson are three players that have to play at a high level this year, if the Cards want to win the ACC Conference. However, even if they don’t win the conference, they can still compete for the National Championship.

Thanks a lot college football.

Louisville fans need to prepare themselves because this isn’t going to be a year where the Cards go unbeaten or anywhere close. They have a very tough schedule, but it will prove to help them in the long run.
