Louisville is a very good team on both ends but they play off the success they have from 3. Last 2 games games which are both W's has them shooting it at a 25-53 pace which is really good. While Smith is the main stay shooting it 7-10 in those 2 multiple guys have been part of it. Hancock in one game along with Rozier and then Blackshear firing it in at 5 for 6 in game 2. In their loss to Memphis just 6-19. Our guys can't be roaming around helping too much when they have a multitude of threats in but I feel we have to horses to guard these guys and make them put it on the floor. 2nd chances also important so staying with the latest "ball hungry theme" will be huge!

Another interesting stat that jumps out is they are 19-38 fro the FT line the last 2. Keep it close and tight down the stretch and I like our chances………..

The bounces also help so 50/50 balls in this one will be huge and I hope the refs treat them the way the stripes did us at Memphis…….whenever you play the Cards while pressing if they call it tight in them it helps, I haven't watched enough to notice since the new rules would really affect the way they played D in the past.

Get those blue tee's on (yeah even you q-tip heads) and rock the Gampel ceiling tiles off, this could be a beauty!
 
Smith is going to shoot the 3 no matter what and no matter who is on him. I've only seen him 3 times this year, but he had very poor shot selection. You take chances with him letting him do his thing, but you can't allow Hancock or Blackshear to get hot.
 
DONT GO FOR HANCOCK's STUPID FURCKING PUMP FAKE. HIS FIRST MOVE IS A PUMP FAKE. EVERYTIME.
 
beat the press like AJ & company did in 2009, we roll

becomes a layup drill, and Ricky just can't stop pressing
 
Montrezl Harrell is a nightmare matchup...quicker and much stronger than our bigs. Box out!!!!
Agree that we cannot afford to help off of their better perimeter shooters, particularly Hancock. Our guards will need to play disciplined defense...don't overhelp and don't gamble...stay in front.

Of course, we are doomed, DOOMED for sure!
