Pretty excited about him running new offense. We saw some of what he can do as season progressed. I am sure we will improve greatly. One thing I didn't like is though we will be a multiple we will primarily operate from the gun. I realize our best teams have been mainly been gun teams but great teams go under center.

CHICAGO - University of Louisville men's basketball junior guard Peyton Siva advanced to the finals of the 2012 GEICO Play of the Year, Intersport announced Monday.

Early in the season, the Cardinals played Vanderbilt in a back-and-forth non-conference battle. With only a few seconds remaining, the game was tied in overtime and Siva had the ball at the top of the key. The veteran guard used a nasty crossover to get by his man and finished with a twisting lay-up with only one second remaining to give the Cardinals the 62-60 win.
