5. Which Jaylen Johnson Will Show Up On Wednesday Night?

There have been so many different versions of Jaylen Johnson that Louisville fans have seen this season. He dominated the Cards’ early opponents, which he should have, but lately he hasn’t been able to have the same production as everyone was expecting.

However, what he has been consistent with this season is rebounding the basketball.

He is currently leading the entire team in rebounds with 8.1 per game, but is only fourth on the Cards in minutes played per game with 21.1.

Johnson has to stay on the floor and out of foul trouble if he wants to be a difference-maker in this huge match-up with Kentucky.

A big night from Johnson could mean that Louisville was victorious.
