after avoiding them the last few years, watching Pitino vs. Cal in 2025 is even weirder than I thought it'd be

In hindsight, Louisville's resume does take a decent hit when its neutral-site wins over West Virginia and Indiana are both deemed over teams out of the field.
Numbers go to only three wins over the field, with none on the road and two over the same opponent (Clemson).

The last Bracket Matrix was updated just before Louisville鈥檚 win over UNC; Louisville was included on 3 of 31 brackets & UNC 30/31, as a 9 seed. bracketmatrix.com
Louisville's SOS on @kenpomeroy is #41, but UofL could go 72 days w/o facing a KP Top 40 opponent before the first wknd of the NCAAT; 97 days w/ just one.
You have to go back 20 years--to UofL's last season in C-USA in '05--to find 5 or fewer Top 40 foes on their schedule.
