“And we back. And we back. And we back” were the lyrics I found myself humming walking out of the KFC Yum! Center on Wednesday night as Chris Mack and the Louisville basketball squad dismantled Syracuse and their 2-3 zone.
After watching Louisville struggle in back-to-back games, ultimately losing both, I watched fans begin to question the coaching, the determination, the abilities, and so much more of a team that had just won 10-games in a row and had avoided any type of bad losses all season long. Even with that going on, I felt comfortable knowing the coach of the Cards had been through bad stretches before during his time at Xavier and was able to come out of them better prepared to make a run in the NCAA Tournament.
