2002-2015 - Pitino Era
1 NCAA Championship (3 Overall)
3 Final Fours (10 Overall)
6 Elite Eights (14 Overall)
7 Sweet Sixteens (28 Overall)
12 NCAAs

Really amazing that in Pitino's 14 seasons at Louisville he has had them in the Final Four 3 times and 6 Elite Eights. JB compares reasonably, except that he doesn't convert the Sweet 16 round at the rate that Pitino does, but not sure anyone does.....6 out of 7? Are you kidding me.

Pitino's a great coach. I may not like him as a person and don't like the brand of basketball he puts out there, but the dude can coach.

Here's the kicker: Pitino is performing below his career average in the Sweet 16 since getting to Louisville. That one he lost to go 6 for 7 is the only one he has ever lost. He's 12-1 now.
