I'm not so sure about Louisville being in the Top 10 to be honest. Prior to today's game their best wins were over Kentucky, Syracuse, & Miami. Kentucky & Syracuse are no longer ranked and they barely beat Miami who lost horribly to Syracuse. It's also looking like USF will be dropping out of the polls in the next week or so as well. Top 15 yes... Top 10 No. Not in my book.Final score: 66-52 Louisville. USF actually did well to draw within 10 in the 4th quarter but just couldn't get enough stops (i.e. defensive rebounds) from there.
Louisville outrebounded USF 44 to 23 and did a masterful job on defense to take away USF's best two scoring options. Given those two factors, it's surprising Louisville didn't win by 25 or 30.

I thought it was a nice showing by USF. I hope they stay in the top 25, or right around the edge of it. I am really looking forward to the Temple-USF game. I would love to see Temple win that one.
