Louisville has to believe that on any given day, any given game, no matter who the competition is (besides maybe Duke) they can win. Though they aren’t the deepest, most athletically gifted, or most talented, this team has a sense of toughness and can-do mixed with great shooting and size, and they can win big games like today.

The future is much brighter than it may have seemed on Wednesday night and now the boys in red and black know they can win big ones in the toughest conference in the country. Bring on the brutal conference slate! For the fans who lost faith after Wednesday night: welcome back to the Chris Mack attack! Go Cards!
