#3 Louisville barely edged Georgia Tech on a last second shot after a defensive game, 50-48.  It was 20-20 at the half and 32GT - 27 Louisville after 3.  Louisville did not look like world-beaters, and I did not see anything particularly awesome about the Georgie Tech defense that held them to 36% shooting.  Louisville pulled it out by throwing in a trapping full court press at the end of the game.  Georgia Tech was playing with 6 players and just seemed to wear out.  But GT did beat UConn so they must be doing something right.

I  saw the Louisville - Washington game in person earlier in season.   I also thought Louisville was unimpressive.   They should have blown Washington out and did not.   Washington made a late run.  Washington's  tall center (who is not very mobile and tires easily) gave Louisville troubles by shutting down a lot of drives.
