This is an upset in ranking only… The 18th-ranked Louisville held off the 17th-ranked Irish of Notre Dame by the score of 90-85. Led by David Padgett’s 26 point outing, Rick Pitino’s Cardinals reconfirmed to the world that the are indeed a Final Four threat in March.

An interesting note: on UofL’s site, they have the Cards listed at 13th, while ESPN has them at 18th. I guess you take the highest ranking when you are promoting your team, in this case, the AP ranking.

The win moved Louisville into a tie with Georgetown for the overall lead in the Big East conference. Both teams stand at 13-3 in Big East play. Currently, Pitino’s team holds the tie-breaker, thanks to their win over the Hoyas in Freedom Hall earlier this month. The two teams meet again, at Georgetown’s house, on March 8th.
