3. The Battle 4 Atlantis Won’t Be The Only Tournament They’ll Play In

Can I get an Amen? The Cardinals had to miss both the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament last season because of that stupid self-imposed ban. I don’t know about you, but I did not enjoy watching March Madness knowing that Louisville didn’t have a shot at the championship.

However, they will be able to play in both tournaments at the end of this season. Can I get another Amen?

Even if the Cards aren’t going to be good enough to win the conference tournament, the experience they receive will surely help them in the NCAA’s.

Hall of Fame head coach Rick Pitino knows what it takes to go the distance and I am confident he will have his guys ready to go when March comes around.
