Next stop would be a Sweet Sixteen matchup with the No. 1 seed in the Seattle 4 Region. The Stanford Cardinal finished the regular season 28-5. Remember earlier when I said you can pretty much pencil Louisville in all the way, at least to the Sweet Sixteen? Here we are at the crossroads of what I believe can happen and what you hope doesn’t happen. Every Louisville fan is holding on to the hope that this team has turned the corner when it comes to playing a full game.

The problem with Louisville this year earlier in the season, and sometimes towards the middle of the season, was not finishing the game. The Cardinals have blown some leads that have cost them games, and in turn cost them seeding in this very tournament. If Louisville expects to get past Stanford, we will need to see a full game from top to bottom on this lineup. Stanford is a very physical team with veteran players, so it will be a tall order, but we have a history of knocking down the giants here at Louisville.
