4. Donovan Mitchell Was Dominated All Game Long

This was easily one of the worst games that Mitchell played all season. He wanted to take some big threes at the end of the game, but one was an airball and the other was clearly off the mark. This was definitely a game that Mitchell will want to forget about awfully quick.

He did end the game with seven points, but he got a few of those in the garbage minutes of the second half. Louisville needed him to play a lot better if they wanted to beat the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

The good news is that Mitchell rarely has games like this since he has been at Louisville. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him come out and play one of his best games of the season against the Hoosiers this weekend.

Don’t freak out over this too much Cardinals fans, Mitchell is going to be just fine.
