6. Louisville’s Free Throw Shooting Was Terrible

The Cards missed nine free throws on Wednesday night and that was the difference between them making it a game or completely being out of it from the beginning. Louisville cannot continue to shoot this bad at the line because those are the easiest shots they will ever get against the Cavaliers.

In a game where every single shot was contested, the Cards couldn’t even make the simple ones.

I’m sure that the Cardinals will be very disappointed with their performance at the line, but hopefully they can shake it off and move on.

Louisville needs to have a short memory because they still have to face Indiana and Notre Dame over the next few weeks.
