SWEET 16
The Cardinals are going to Indianapolis after a crazy game against 9th seeded Siena College. The last and maybe best Cinderella hopeful for the NCAA tournament gave U of L its best effort, but it wasn’t enough to defeat the top-ranked Cards. U of L led the entire game when the roles reversed in the second halfand Siena suddenly took the lead. All of a sudden Siena was pressing the Cards and grabbing steals that led to fast break points. In all it was a 15-2 run that required Pitino to call 3 timeouts in 3 minutes. With 7 minutes left the Cards responded with a 9-0 run of their own led by TWill to take back the lead. It was an exciting game and I’m sure the players are glad they have a few days of rest before their next game. Speaking of which, the Cards will play 12th ranked Arizona on Friday night at 7:07 pm.
