Projection: need to automatically qualify
The Cardinals of Louisville are facing an uphill battle, having ended their season well below .500 with a slate of results that simply doesn't showcase the ability to compete regularly against top-tier competition. Notable losses to Kentucky and Duke, where Louisville was comfortably handled, highlight the gulf in class between them and the nation's elite teams. Perhaps more damning, however, are the losses to teams like Pittsburgh, NC State, and DePaul, which further emphasize the team's inconsistency and inability to close out games. There was a glimmer of hope with wins against Miami FL and Florida St, but these are bright spots in an otherwise dim season that lacks signature wins. To secure an NCAA tournament bid without leaving it to chance, Louisville would need to clinch an automatic berth by winning their conference tournament – a tall order given their regular-season performance.
