3. Louisville basketball ACC Tournament path
While Louisville isn’t seeded where many fans would like, the Cardinals get one more opportunity to earn a marquee win. The ACC is much better this season, and with Louisville having a good chance to get SMU for the third time, the Cardinals can really boost their resume.
3 teams that could ruin Duke basketball's ACC Championship hopes
Louisville is seed hunting for the NCAA Tournament right now, and if SMU beats Syracuse, the Cardinals' path to the ACC Championship game could be against SMU, Miami, Virginia, and then Duke. Â That path is not for the faint of heart, but if Louisville can avenge itself from its recent loss to the Mustangs, secure its second win over Miami, and pick up another Quad 1A win over Virginia and see Duke in the ACC Title for the second straight season, the Cards have a real chance of climbing the NCAA Tournament seedings.
Louisville fans should be thrilled for this ACC Tournament, and while it might not be easy, it is the exact path the Cardinals wanted.
