Simulation places Louisville basketball in theoretical national title game

It may not be what fans had hoped for from the beginning, but perhaps this is the next best thing for Louisville basketball.

This week, we wrote about the simulation that had the Cardinals in the Final Four in Atlanta, pitted against a tough, offensive-minded Gonzaga team.

On Saturday, the account 2020 NCAA TOURNAMENT SIMULATION (@NCAAsim2020) tweeted out updates as their carefully crafted simulation kept Cards fans on pins and needles.

Even some of the players were invested in the end results.

The simulation was pretty true to reality. Louisville showcased its dominance on both ends of the floor as it got out to a 10-point halftime lead and stretched the margin to 18 with 14 minutes left to play.
