Quietly, Rick Pitino has labored at putting Louisville back together this season. After the miraculous recover of David Padgett and the return of Juan Palocious he has the Cards headed in the right direction. His constant disciplining of Derrick Character seems to be paying off as the big fella finally seems to be listening to the voice of reason.
Yesaterday’s win over Georgetown puts the Card squarely in contention for a high seed and a chance to win the Big East.
Speaking of the Big East, a couple of schools that could be looking for coaches as the end of the season are St. John’s and Providence. Although Tim Welsh has worked miracles there, the natives are restless. Norm Roberts was asked to come in and clean up the mess left by Mike Jarvis. Roberts has done a great job repairing the damage, but a longtime neglect by the administration leaves the Johnnies on the short end of the facility battle.
