Louisville (3) vs. Boise State (14)

March madness begins Thursday!  This Friday, the Louisville Cardinals begin their journey in the NCAA tournament against Boise State. 

Not to sound cocky, but this isn’t a bowl game we’re playing here.  We should handily defeat the blue-turfed Ida-hoes by a considerable margin.  I’m afraid none of Boise’s players will be proposing to cheerleaders after this game.

I’m a bit pleasantly surprised at our 3 seeding.  Sure, it helps that even though we lost our last 2 games, that they were to Georgetown (a higher ranked team), and Pitt (who went on to win the conference tourney), but I really was expecting a 5 or even 6 seed.

This just goes to show that doing well in a strong conference will get you further when it counts.
