This Louisville basketball team is going to go as far as Donovan Mitchell and Deng Adel can take them. These two Sophomores are the life-blood of a very young, but talented Cardinals’ basketball program.

Adel played very well in the exhibition games, as he was tied for being the leading scorer in the last one against Bellarmine. Not to mention, Rick Pitino believes in his ability to be one of the ACC’s best players this season.

I predict that Adel will be Louisville’s leading scorer on Friday night. Just like Johnson and Mitchell, the Aces do not have anyone on their team that can shut him down defensively.

Adel is in for a huge opening night in the Yum Center.
