Louisville vs. Cincinnati

The Big East Final matches up an unlikely pair as Louisville will take on Cincinnati at the Garden tonight. How many times have we seen teams catch the wave late in the season to suddenly play at a high level? Last year we watched UConn on the bubble, run the table for five straight here, and ended up winning it all. Cincinnati looks eerily similar to what UConn did last year, as the Bearcats were on the outside of the bubble looking in, but certainly have passed the eye test here. Louisville has dealt with injuries and has been up-and-down, but played well last night vs. Notre dame. Can they do it against a hot, talented, confident Cincinnati team? I think this Cincinnati team has that late season "mojo" going right now that is becoming all so familiar. Play on Cincinnati.
