2. Louisville Shot Over 50 Percent From Three

Again, this is almost like Louisville should have shut the Yellow Jackets down from three, but the difference is that the Cards are second to last in the conference in three point percentage. Even though Georgia Tech technically is terrible at defending the perimeter, it still feels good to see Louisville succeed in an area that they have struggled.

The Cards finished the game going 9-5, which gave them a 56.3 percent mark from the perimeter.

In reality, only three Louisville players made a three against Georgia Tech: Deng Adel, Donovan Mitchell, and Quentin Snider.

However, a hot-shooting Louisville team will make for a very tough team to beat come March.
