It's Winnable...

[BillSU]

Louisville is 11-11 coming off of losses to: @ FL St 70 – 79, NC St 63 – 75, @ Pitt 53 – 65, beat BC 67- 54, then lost to ND 70 – 82, @ VA 52 – 64, Duke 65 – 74, and NC 83 – 90.

So, they have lost 7 of their last eight, 4 at home.

They are not a physically small team. Jesse is going to have his hands full, an experienced center with the team feeding him. And, he has the highest scoring avg. Their line up consists of:



Malik Williams – 6’ 11” 5th /C 10.0 PPG

Noah Locke – 6 3” Sr G 9.7 “

El Ellis - 6’ 3” 175, Jr PG, 8.5 “

Dre Davis – 6’ 6”, So G/, 7.6 “

Matt Cross - 6’ 7” So 7.1 “

Syd Curry – 6’ 8” 280 Jr 5.1 “

Jarrod West – 5’ 11” Gr 6.5 “

Jaylen Withers – 6’ 8” Jr 4.8 “



They shoot as a team FG - .421, 3PT - .329, FT - .685



Scoring avg. – 69 OPP - 69

Blocks PG - 2.5 OPP - 3.6

Asst/G - 12.5 OPP - 12.6

Reb PG - 37.8 OPP – 36.1

3 Pt made/G – 8.2 OPP - 7.5

FT made/G - 11.4 OPP - 12.7

We have to play them as we have played our last two and we win. All the starters have to be active and get to their spots and score. Cole especially. Joe must have another great game along with the rest of the team. It’s a Saturday so the students should be out in force, even on a frigid night – we need them, the team needs them.

Winnable? They’re hot garbage right now, we should be favored and should win this game.

No Malik Williams tomorrow

Yeah I'm guessing that UNC debacle has them about checked out - especially hitting the road.

We’re seven point favorites and their best player isn’t playing. Would be extremely disappointing if we lose and would make a losing season very likely.

People are taking this game too lightly. Their last 2 games they gave Duke and UNC everything they wanted. Are we better than them? We should win and are favored but they won’t be a pushover unless you think Duke and unc are nothing. And Williams didn’t play against unc either.

Fully expect they will knock down some 3s. That said they are a completely different team away from home this year. Similar to us being a much better team in the Dome than away from it.

To note as well they are shooting under 30 pct from 3 on the road in ACC play.

Punch them early and we cruise

Sure. But no excuses if we lose.

 

[OrangeDW]

If we can’t expect to beat .500 teams at home, who can we expect to beat?

Raise the damn bar. No excuses.
