By Derek Snyder
We take a look at five must know facts about the Virginia Cavaliers before they play the Louisville basketball team on Wednesday.
The Louisville basketball team will be looking to get their second huge win in-a-row after taking down Kentucky last Wednesday night. Like every game, this match-up presents a very different challenge than the previous team.
Virginia has given the Cards trouble in the past and are still one of the best teams in America.
With that being said, let’s take a look at five must know facts about Virginia:
5. They are 14th In The ACC In Points Scored Per Game
Virginia doesn’t play a style of basketball that is going to bring in a lot of TV ratings. The Cavaliers aren’t a team that is going to run up the floor and shoot transition threes. They are going to play at their own pace and force the other team to slow down.
The good news is that the Cards are actually averaging nine more points per game than Virginia. However, the bad news is that the Cavaliers don’t need to score very much to win basketball games.
This is definitely a game that will finish around the 50’s or 60’s. It’s not going to be an easy game to watch, but Louisville has all of the tools to take down another great opponent in the Yum Center on Wednesday night.
