Louisville Basketball: 5 Impact Players For The UK vs. UofL Game
By Derek Snyder
Season Stats: 25.3 min, 12.6 points per game, 1.8 blocks per game, and 8 rebounds per game
It’s almost scary to think about how much of a size advantage that Bam Adebayo is going to have against Louisville this week. He stands at 6-foot-10, but his 260 pound frame just punishes other defenders in the paint. The Cards will have a very hard time defending him on Wednesday night.
The most important thing Louisville can do against him is be as physical as they can and be consistent with their hands. The Cards can get some opportunities to score if they can force him to turnover the ball down low.
It will also be important for the Cards to go right at him on offense. Yes, he is big and physical, but fouls are still fouls.
If the Cardinals can get Adebayo into foul trouble early in both halves, then Louisville just may have a chance to dominate the boards and come out with the upset.
