Even though the media is saying that Louisville may have to rebound my committee, I still believe in Johnson’s ability to be the Cards’ guy. He has shown his rebounding skill in the two exhibition games, but let’s be honest, it’s extremely hard to grade a player’s performance against low-level competition.

Evansville won’t be a major challenge for the Cards, well, at least at rebounding the basketball. Not only did the Aces lose their top scorer from last season, but they also lost their leading rebounder.

I expect Johnson to have his way with the board on Friday, as the Aces won’t have anyone to match him.

This could be a game where Jaylen Johnson gets his first double-double of the season.
