No. 5 Louisville Cardinals
Rick Pitino going with the quick fix by bringing in transfers is working like gangbusters.
Damion Lee has been spectacular for the Cardinals dropping 18.8 points per contest to this point and Trey Lewis has also handled his business quite well averaging 13.8 points per game.
People were worried about the learning curve that was going to come along with Louisville trying to acclimate these transfers into the fray but obviously that is not a concern anymore.
Louisville Cardinals
The Cardinals only loss has come against the Michigan State Spartans who are currently the No.1 team in the nation by a score of 71-67, or Louisville would be talking about Top 3 billing in this power ranking.
Their next four games should be pretty easy as they get prepared for their interstate rivalry game against No.4 Kentucky before they enter conference play. But in the end Louisville has shown to this point that they are going to compete on a high level and will be one of the more dangerous teams in the ACC.
Oh by the way, you notice that you have not heard much about the recruiting scandal as the season has gone on right.
That is what winning does!
Next: No. 4 Miami Hurricanes
