Even a narrow victory was a great joy for USC, but they didn't have time to celebrate after the game, so they hurried back to rest and prepare for the next big game.

On March 30, it was still the Lucas Oil Arena in Indianapolis, but this time their opponent was no longer Michigan State, but the higher-ranked team in the Midwest Division, the University of Louisville.

Louisville have proven themselves to be the best team in the Great East, and they've shown just how dominant they can be in their previous games! Forward Earl Clarke had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the No. 2 seed to a 103-64 victory over "Cinderella" Arizona, in what became the most one-sided game in the division in 30 years.

Not only did Louisville record their biggest NCAA Tournament victory, it was also the worst NCAA Tournament defeat in Arizona's history. Before Louisville, the regular season and tournament champion, only five teams had created a bigger margin in the NCAA tournament division, and in 1967 UCLA beat the University of Wyoming to finish first by 49 points, and all top-five records were set before 1972, so Louisville is the strongest winner in more than 30 years.

Their head coach, Rick Pitino, is also an NCAA coach who has made a name for himself in college basketball, becoming the first coach in NCAA history to lead two different universities to NCAA tournament titles.

In 1997, Pitino joined the Boston Celtics with a college honor, and at that time Pitino was not only the head coach of the Celtics, but also the team's general manager, executive president and chairman.

When Pitino took office, he promised the team and fans that he would do more than Cardinal Auerbach to bring Celtic back to championship level.

It's a pity that he expected everything to be too good, he didn't think that NBA and NCAA basketball are actually two different fields. In the NBA, he had to face not only the star players of the second (the boss is the owner) team, but also the management of the Green Army, which was already mired in bureaucratic mountainwork, and the result of Pitino, the airborne leader who only had college honors and no roots in the Green Army, was actually inevitable.

From 1997 to 2001, Pitino led the Celtics for nearly four seasons, with an overall record of 102 wins and 146 losses, during which time the team did not make the playoffs once. In the middle of the 2000-01 season, Pitino left the Celtics.

After that, he re-answered the familiar college field and became the head coach of the University of Louisville to this day.

His team is characterized by a fast offensive tempo and a knack for three-point shooting, and he is widely regarded as one of the first coaches to implement the three-point shot.

This game is expected by the majority of Mei fans, after all, both are offensive teams, and the saying goes, "Offense gets fans, defense gets the championship." ”

And many media outlets predicted that this match would be a close battle.

The game went ahead as scheduled, USC's starting lineup was still the same, and Coach Floyd had stated before the game that the two players that Louisville University needed to pay attention to the most were Earl Clarke and small forward Terrence Williams.

The beginning was as expected by the masses, with all kinds of stalemates.

At the start of the game, Louisville won the ball first, and Terrence Williams singled Christian to take the lead and score two points.

Looking back, DeRozan, who has been lost on the court, did not get lost on the road of life this time, and broke through the lever and made a layup to return two points.

Of course, Clark and Gibson, the cores of the two teams on the inside, are also unwilling to be left behind, and both of them are in the same position, and the struggle is like going straight into the wrestling ring.

Just as the truth is always in the hands of a few, tonight people only guessed the beginning and did not predict the end, or no one thought that things would be so simple.

The score was deadlocked, 2:2...... 4:4…… 8:8……

It's a pity that in the middle of the first half, Huang only broke out, first broke through the pull-up jump shot to score two points, then stole Terrence's ball to chase and hit another three points, and not finished two consecutive breakthroughs to the penalty area and then gave Jerome two more shots.

Since then, the situation has changed greatly, 92:81 USC won another game, and after the game, Louisville's defeat to USC was actually a short of Huang Weiwei, because Huang Wei easily defeated Louisville's back line, and it was too difficult for a team with a rout back line to win.

After a March 30 victory over Louisville, USC players moved to Detroit to prepare for the final four matchups.

When President Oba Bull was selected in the round of 64 last month, he predicted the final four finalists and championship winners in his heart at the White House. On a matchup chart, he wrote that Louisville, Memphis, Pittsburgh and North Carolina would reach the Final Four, and in the championship column he wrote North Carolina. Obama seems to have a peculiar instinct for basketball, and in the first round of the NCAA, he guessed correctly in 19 out of 32 games, shooting a whopping 60 percent from the field. In the second round, Obama was even more powerful, guessing correctly in 13 of 16 games, and his shooting percentage soared to 81 percent. But in the elite quarterfinals, he bet on a drop in shooting percentage, guessing 4 of them correctly and hitting 50 percent. Overall, Obama's predictions for the NCAA national tournament are 60 percent accurate, which is a high level in the United States. And the worst prediction in the later stage was USC, he never thought that USC could make it to the final four, and the result was that his face was smacked!

According to the schedule, in the semifinals, the No. 3 seed in the East will play Villanova against the No. 1 seed in the South Region North Carolina, while the USC will face the No. 1 seed in the West as the No. 3 seed in the Central and Western Conference against the No. 1 seed in the West Division Connecticut.

This year's Kangda is amazingly strong, with Hashim Thabit who is known as "Little Mutombo" on the inside, and AJ Price and other players who have inherited the mantle of Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton as goalscorers on the outside.

And their team coach is the school's legendary coach Jim Cahon, the man who led UConn from a regional powerhouse to a national powerhouse, USC coach Floyd said the pressure is high.
