Extended thoughts: Louisville 82, Baylor 71
I wasn’t expecting it, but there was something about Saturday’s game — despite the sleepy environment and the opponent being less stellar than anyone was anticipating when the game was scheduled — that felt really refreshing. It reminded me of growing up when Crum was always playing these types of games (UCLA, Syracuse, UMass, etc.) […]
Louisville Defeats Florida State 88-65
The signature of this team is a balanced attack and that is exactly what the Cards used to wear down Florida State tonight.
