According to Ray Parillo of the Philadelphia Inquirer:

By the time Louisville tips off against Illinois on Saturday night in an NCAA basketball semifinal in St. Louis that promises to be memorable, Cardinals coach Rick Pitino will have his team convinced that it is the Bucknell of the Final Four.

Pitino might be able to convince his players of that. But those of us who follow the Patriot League know better. See Rick, we know Bucknell. And you sir, are no Bucknell.

All kinds of storieswere written early in the tournament pointing out the difference:

Georgia Tech (19 percent), Kentucky (8) and Louisville (17) had some of the worst overall graduation rates. Utah State and Bucknell had perfect rates.

Besides, Louisville doesn't have a German center.
