LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Louisville coach Chris Mack said he isn't buying the hype. He's making sure the No. 5 Cardinals don't, either.

He wants his players to know it is up to them to do something buzzworthy.

In many ways Louisville did that in Mack's first season, going from a scandal-marred program to NCAA Tournament participant. The Cardinals even upset Michigan State and North Carolina before limping down the stretch and getting bounced in the NCAA's first round.
