Not saying that at all. I thought Louisville played great in the second half. But there was a stretch (capped by the traveling call on Lawson when he was clearly pushed) in the 2nd half where the calls were extremely questionable; and during the stretch Louisville went on an important run to tie the game.
Believe me, I have always been a huge believer in Louisville. Before the brackets were announced, I told everyone that the one team I didn't want in UNC's bracket was the Cardinals. Padgett's return brought the team back together, and they started playing like the pre-season top 5 team everyone expected them to be.
In the end, its just like Pitino said after the game. Louisville simply ran into a better team.
