3. Deng Adel Had One Of His Games Of The Season

How do you like him now Indiana fans? Deng Adel came into this game against the Hoosiers looking to make an impact in the Pacers arena and he did that indeed. Adel finished the game with 17 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds.

Louisville needs Adel to become one of their best three point shooters on the team, but he has just been too inconsistent at times throughout the season.

However, he was able to knock down three of his six 3-pointers on Saturday, which was extremely impressive when you add his 100 percent free throw percentage from the game on top of that.

Louisville will need Adel to stay hot against Notre Dame next week.
