 It takes a lot for the 5-foot-10 McGee to get to the rim. But in a senior season dwindling down to precious few games, the decidedly grounded McGee opted to take flight. He slammed home a rare two-handed dunk, the defining moment in No. 6 Louisville's gritty 62-58 victory over No. 8 Marquette on Sunday. It takes a lot for the 5-foot-10 McGee to get to the rim.

 Louisville's play wasn't nearly as pretty as Pitino's sartorial choice, but the Cardinals have developed a knack for winning in all sorts of ways. They started their five-game winning streak by pouring in 99 points against DePaul, then took a decidedly more rugged approach to slowing the Big East's highest scoring team. Louisville's play wasn't nearly as pretty as Pitino's sartorial choice, but the Cardinals have developed a knack for winning in all sorts of ways.
