Why Louisville starts No. 1: Deep, veteran Cardinals still have Pitino - NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - CBSSports.com News, Scores, Stats, Schedule and RPI Rankings:
No disrespect to John Calipari or Tom Crean, but that's why the Louisville Cardinals enter the 2012-13 college basketball season as numero uno.
Flash back to New Orleans last March 31, when Pitino's bunch had a chance to make it a one-possession affair with a tad more than five minutes remaining in the national semifinals, against a Kentucky crew that has a chance to send a record six players to the first round of the NBA Draft.
Sometimes overlooked amid the flammable quotes and Don Corleone-esque white suit is the obvious: Pitino is one of the elite coaches in college basketball history. Sure, he's not Calipari in terms of recruiting but this season, Pitino won't be completely overmatched when pitting his roster against the one down the road.
