Okay. Okay. Okay. Put the brakes on the expectations for this Louisville basketball team. But you can’t help but feel giddy.

They haven’t played a team that have tested them and given a barometer of just how good they are. They have dispatched Miami, Florida, Youngstown State, Indiana State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina Upstate. Not exactly murders row.

But it’s the way the Cardinals have dismantled these teams. I’m a big statistics guy. It doesn’t always tell the true story but more often than not it’s a good measuring stick.
