For the first time in 3,289 days, the Louisville men’s basketball team has advanced in the NCAA Tournament. It wasn’t easy. Certainly not as easy as it looked like it was going to be when the Cardinals led by as many as 23 points in the second half. U of L narrowly avoided being on […]

The Spring Breakout game is here and the Nationals have an impressive lineup. Both the Nats and the Cardinals have much improved farm systems. The Nats lineup […]
While the Tigers’ rotation is currently set, and they appear to have starting depth both among their relief corps and at the Triple-A, they don’t have much in the way of actual starting pitching prospects to help them this year.
