There were a lot of big games this week, but none were bigger than Louisville taking on Connecticut on Monday. The Cardinals tried to make a second half rally to beat the Huskies, but ended up losing 69-58. That contest may have been a preview of a Final Four matchup and Louisville proved that they could stick around with Connecticut. And, on a neutral floor, maybe the Cardinals could put themselves in a position to win.
