CARDS ADVANCE TO FACE WOLVERINES
Louisville has to survive a rematch of the 2013 National Championship game to get to the Sweet 16.
After knocking out 15 seed Jacksonville State 78-63, the Cards are now focusing on the Michigan Wolverines, the seven seed in the Midwest Region.
Head coach Rick Pitino is worried about stopping Michigan from behind the arc after seeing them sink 16 threes in their opening round win over Oklahoma State. Pitino jokingly referred to the Wolverines as the NBA's Golden State Warriors while describing their shooting prowess.
Louisville and Michigan meet Sunday at 12:10pm for the right to advance to the Sweet 16 in Kansas City. You can hear the game on Cards Radio 790 KRD, live coverage begins at 10:30am.
