Okay, the critics can begin. “I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.”
Yes, Louisville was totally outplayed by North Carolina Saturday but it’s not the end. Not with three more ranked teams to follow. Plenty of time to readjust, get more quality wins.
A lot of things went wrong during the loss to North Carolina. Rebounding. Consistent scoring from some of its leading scorers. But the most puzzling things missing were the excitement and toughness the Cardinals have played with this season.
Maybe the Cards were thinking playing at home against a team three weeks earlier they embarrassed 83-62, wouldn’t be that tough.
