2. Louisville Has One Of the Deepest Rosters In The Conference

Over the first 16 games of this young season, I have become very fond of this 2016-2017 basketball roster. There are only a few guys who Rick Pitino will not play during a game, as the Cardinals have at least 11 guys that can come into a game and put in valuable minutes.

There aren’t too many teams in the ACC that have that many guys seeing action on a regular basis, especially whenever conference play begins.

If you really think about it, foul trouble has never been a problem with this team. If Mitchell is on the bench, then David Levitch and give Pitino valuable minutes. If Deng Adel is playing out of control, then VJ King can come in and contribute.

Not to mention, those are just a few of the scenarios we have seen so far this season.

The depth and experience of this team is going to help them greatly over the next few months.
