If I recall correctly, since joining the Big East Louisville has surpassed the pre-season predictions of both coaches and media every season but for their inaugural year, 05-06, when they finished 6-10. Since then it's gone like this: 06-07 12-4 (t2nd) 07-08 14-4 (2nd) 08-09 16-2 (1st) 09-10 11-7 (t7th) 10-11 12-6 (t4th) I'm not one who spends too much time convincing myself that Louisville basketball doesn't get the respect it deserves, but this is probably the best evidence to support such a theory.
