Selection Sunday – Louisville (49 out of 50 points)

Bid Status: 1-seed in the Midwest

Louisville has the third best trio in the country according to Value Add, but they are MUCH better than that. Peyton Siva is much better than the 42nd best player, he just always waits until tournament time to explode. Gorgui Dieng is much better than 39th, his hand was just injured for much of the season. Some nights Russ Smith is the best player in the country. Wayne Blackshear will be in the NBA, and he does not even crack the top three. They are hot (have moved up in www.kenpom.com to No. 2 despite the midseason vacation), are healthy and have the NBA level-talent to win. Be scared – almost perfect heading into the tournament.
