Russ to the Big Dance
Just like last season, the Louisville Cardinals are finding ways to win as March Madness approaches. Russ Smith tossed in a midrange jumper with a few seconds left to seal a nail-biter against conference rival Cincinnati. This road win over the #7 Bearcats neutralizes an earlier home loss to them.

I just point to Cal and blurt -- "What he said!" That aside, don't be surprised if this Kentucky team goes 39-1 and collects a 9th NCAA Championship. They're that good.
