LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville began the season picked to finish eighth in the ACC but now has a chance to play for the conference championship it envisioned upon joining the league in 2014. The No. 15 Cardinals have done it with a first-year, homegrown coach in former program great Jeff Brohm, a bunch of transfers and a high-powered offense.

On the other hand, Brohm led the Boilermakers to the Big Ten championship game last fall, so the expectations were there.
