Will the clock strike midnight for the No. 9 Wichita State Shockers?
Louisville, the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, will look to end Wichita State's surprising run in the opening Final Four game on Saturday night.
"This is not Cinderella. Florida Gulf Coast is a Cinderella. These guys are a very good basketball team," Pitino said earlier this week, via Howie Lindsey of cardinalsports.com.
The Cardinals cruised past their first two opponents to reach the Sweet 16. No. 12 Oregon and No. 2 Duke proved to be worthy adversaries in the regional semifinals and finals, respectively, but Louisville was still able to win both by a combined margin of 30 points. Louisville must now face Wichita State without guard Kevin Ware, who suffered a gruesome leg fracture against the Blue Devils.
Shockers coach Gregg Marshall has his team playing angry, upsetting No. 8 Pittsburgh in the second round, No. 1 Gonzaga in the third and No. 2 Ohio State in the Elite Eight.
Will the Shockers be able to pull off another upset and reach the national championship game? Or will Rick Pitino take one step closer to becoming the first coach ever to win a national title with two different schools?
