There was one significant game of interest tonight. Louisville some how managed to lose to Cincy 58-57. Seriously Louisville. Cincinnati? David Padgett returns from a broken knee cap and you lose? The Cardinals go 3-22 from three and only sent the Bearcats to the line six times. How have they gone from a legitimate final four contender to a team that loses to arguably the second worst team in the conference. I guess the Orange's Big East game against Cincy won't be such a pushover. That is an inexcusable loss. Louisville is going to have to win 11 of their remaining Big East games and make it through a few rounds in the Big East tournament to go dancing. Their resume looks terrible right now.
