7. Can Louisville Score Enough To Keep Up With Kentucky?

Louisville is currently 10th in the ACC in scoring offense per game with 78.5, whereas Kentucky is 1st in the SEC with scoring 95.2 points per game. That’s right, you read that correct, the Wildcats are almost scoring 20 more points than Louisville every time on the court this year.

I just don’t believe that this Louisville team can score anywhere near 95 points on Wednesday night, which is why slowing the game down will be very important.

Not only does Louisville not have enough scorers on their roster, but Kentucky’s entire roster can shoot the basketball. They may not all be great jump-shooters, but every one of them can find a way to get to the rim.

Let’s just hope that those Yum Center rims are overly stiff on Wednesday night.
