Expectations have never been this high.

I have been a Louisville fan for 10 years since I was 9 and I have seen some great teams in the past. When T-Will was here with Earl and Andre and also the Final Four team with Francisco and O'Bannon and Dean. Still, I think this year, this team has a legitimate shot at cutting down the nets in March. Everybody is coming back and no offense (I loved Chris and Kuric) but with them gone we become faster. If Hancock is as good as Pitino says he is then this team is gonna go crazy. Blackshear needs to stay healthy because he is so good I dont even think Pitino knows how good he can be. Siva and Smith will be the scariest full court pressure guards in the nation. Can any other team beat Louisville besides Indiana? I don't see to many. Gorgui is a wonderful role model and if he develops into a steady player he could be a lottery pick. If this team remains healthy and with Pitino trying to go out with a bang, I think this squad is going to be a team we will never forget.
