Yes the truth is, Louisville just isn't the elite team they've been made out to be all season. They're just too poor offensively to be a final four contender. And the truth is, they just lack the personnel to get it done.
Here's the deal: they played a weak nonconference schedule and were able to slide by with only the UK loss. But now the lipstick is off the pig.
Their guards, Rozier and Jones, aren't elite, but they get talk from the talking heads like they're lottery picks. They're just average guards who play ultra-aggressively. That's it.
And Harrell began the season as the most overrated player in America. He's a 6-6 power forward who can't shoot outside 5 ft or a dunk. His greatest strength is a wide open dunk. And the rest of their front line is a waste of space.
Louisville should be ranked somewhere between 15 and 20 in my opinion. They are a likely candidate for an early exit frombthe Dance in March because one of these midmajors that plays excellent defense and can hit threes will knock them off.
