2. This is a very scrappy team that won’t quit

Louisville was tested in many ways over the course of this tournament and quite honestly, it didn’t phase them too much. Whether they don’t know any better or their youth is full of optimism, these Cardinals know how to weather a storm.

The year is still young, but these Cardinals are simply not going to quit, despite the situation or circumstances of the game.

This is the type of team that end up going far in March because they aren’t intimidated by any team or any adversity. The Cards will have many games this season where things aren’t going to go well and there isn’t getting around it.

Games against Kentucky, Indiania, Purdue, Virginia, Duke, and North Carolina will prove to be tough tests, but it seems as though Louisville may be built to withstand those challenges.

They learned a lot over this tournament and this experience will help them going forward.
