Mike Brey On Mental Preparation

Take a quick look at what Mike Brey had to say about Notre Dame’s mental preparation for the Cards, according to the Indy Star:

"“Brey said Monday the most important thing against a long, athletic team like Louisville will be mental preparation. Notre Dame leads the league in fewest turnovers per game (9.2), but has turned it over the most against skilled teams like Villanova, Purdue and Pitt. Louisville has one of the top defenses in the nation, forcing more than 15 turnovers a game, and is also blocking 6.5 shots per game. Offensively, the Cardinals rank 14th nationally.”"

The good news for Louisville fans is that they can rest in the fact that the Cardinals will force Notre Dame to turn the basketball over Wednesday night, especially since they have struggled so much against quality teams.

Louisville presents the best defensive basketball team that Notre Dame has faced this season and I expect that will give the Fighting Irish more problems than they realize right now.

If the Cards can control the paint and limit Notre Dame’s outside shooting, then Louisville should be able to pick up their first ACC win of the season.
