We're now just 24-hours away from perhaps the most anticipated Louisville basketball game since 2005. Form has held, and last week's potential showcase game of the Sweet 16 has become this week's official (unofficially) showcase game of the Sweet 16. So let's take a closer look at the only thing standing (figuratively) between Louisville and the Elite Eight: the Tennessee Volunteers. We'll ...
Memphis Fans Envy Tennessee

Vols' Loss to Louisville Dashes SEC Hopes —
FanHouse
Tennessee was the SEC's brightest hope for the conference's fourth Final Four berth in three years. Those hopes were dashed for good by the Louisville Cardinals, whose strong play was the counterpoint to the Vols' terrible performance in their Sweet 16 matchup. What went right for Pearl's Volunteers? Not much. When the Vols weren't missing layups or fruitlessly challenging the Cardinals' ...

Tennessee/Louisville
Outlook
This might be the only regional final where the two coaches outshine their respective teams. On one side, it’s Bruce Pearl and his never-ending quest of self-promotion (albeit, for the benefit of his team) and on the other, there stand Rick Pitino, the apple of the eye for all University of Kentucky fans. I’m hesitant to guess how much these two ...

Ill-Advised Sweet 16 Predictions —
Signal to Noise
Just the usual quick and dirty here. My Final Four is still intact, but I can’t say that I think it will be after the next two days.
East Regional:
UNC over Wazzu — this’ll be a slog of a game, I think, because this is the best defensive team the Heels will see unless they play UCLA in the final. UNC has enough talent to get by the Cougars, but they won’t be ...
Louisville's Derrick Caracter Reminds Everyone He's a Heckuva Teammate —
FanHouse
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:30 this evening, the Louisville Cardinals will tip off against the Tennessee Volunteers for a chance at the Elite Eight. It's hard to imagine anything else being on the minds of the players and coaches from those two teams but then you remember that Derrick Caracter is part of the Louisville roster.

Intentional Foul
Here’s some tournament news that might make the Losers With Socks dudes upset: apparently, shooting wunderkind Chris Lofton slightly injured one of his legs and has been wearing a walking boot because of it. Now, being in Tennessee, wearing boots might seem like normal behavior, but remember, Lofton is supposed to be getting ready for a massive game against the Louisville Cardinals . ...

Silly East Regional, with your whole going-according-to-seed business: This absolutely will not do. That said, of the four teams hanging around Charlotte next week -- wait ... is that North Carolina ... in Charlotte? Boo! -- a definitive pecking order has already emerged. That is to say: Don't bet on Tennessee.
Bruce Pearl's troops just frittered around enough to give the East Region its ...
