Capitalize on Indiana’s biggest flaw

The Hoosiers rank 289th out of 351 Division-1 teams in the turnover category. Committing 15.6 turnovers per game. The are the 4th worst team in the power 5 at keeping the ball secure.

Louisville defense under Chris Mack is not particularly aggressive and is more about denying penetration and staying in front of the offense than it is getting into passing lanes and pressing the ball.

The Cards probably won’t change the game plan much there but they’ll have to make sure Indiana turnovers convert to points on the other end. Staying alert on defense and prepared to run back quick in transition is sure to net the Cards a handful of points at the minimum.
