| The Cards waste a double-digit lead for the second straight year in their NCAA Tournament loss, this time a 53-39 edge with 15 minutes to play. The Cards were then outscored 36-10, unable to stop Xavier's offense and unable to penetrate their zone. Another mid-game collapse in what was U of L's ninth loss in their last 13 games. |
The 2004-05 schedule has not been released yet, but U of L will be without Luke Whithead, Kendall Dartez and Alhaji Mohammed, Jr. New recruits, and hopefully a return to full health, provide optimism for next season, which will be the last for U of L in Conference USA before heading to the Big East. |
