I know exactly what you mean - I could see that easily happening with Louisville. This years Cards are one of the most inconsistent teams I can remember, and that was before we had our Sr point guard kicked off the team. Unless Pitino and players can turn a miracle, Sweet 16 is probably best case scenario for us.
Someone mentioned Georgia State. I have a lot of respect for Kevin Ware and what he went though with the Cards in 2013. With a bone sticking out of his leg, he kept telling the players "I'm fine, just win this game. JUST WIN THIS GAME!". The young man has guts the size of Texas and I would love to see him and GA ST make some noise.
As a GSU alum it's good to see them get their program on the map and under good leadership.
Don't count the Cards out.
