The ACC, instead of hosting a normal American-style tournament, has a European-style pool system at its tournament.  (You will not be surprised to learn that the ACC plays its tournament in Durham, North Carolina.)  Louisville is in a pool with Florida State, Clemson, and North Carolina.  So far the Cardinals have beaten North Carolina (7-4), and lost to Clemson (7-2).  So they need to beat Florida State (which has won its first two games) in order to have a chance at reaching the title game.  (I have no idea how the ACC breaks ties -- for all I know it depends on how far your campus is from Chapel Hill.  So Louisville may be out of it even if they beat FSU, but I refuse to try to find out.)  The title game will be on Sunday, and Louisville will either be in it or not.
