Louisville Preview
There aren’t many positives when it comes to the Louisville Cardinals offense. Aside from scoring 25.2% of their points from the free throw line, the 12th most nationally, and being very good on the offensive glass, there isn’t much they can hang their hat on. Also, admittedly, relying on free throws and offensive rebounds for offense is a losing proposition. Coach Kenny Payne’s group will look to attack in transition, but they turn it over too frequently and are actually one of the worst transition offensive teams in the country. Their 0.904 points per transition possession, per Synergy, ranks 340th nationally. In the half court they will set ballscreens and run sets for interior catches but those haven’t been very effective either.
As a whole, Louisville’s offense ranked 195th in KenPom’s adjusted offensive efficiency. Their 29.4% mark from three-point range is 306th in the country.Again, aside from free throws and offensive rebounding, this group doesn’t find much success on the offensive end of the floor. The defensive game plan will be to simply to stay between the Cardinals and the basket and then go rebound the basketball. Let’s take a closer look at some of what we will see offensively from the Cards
