Louisville basketball is looking to have a major bounce-back performance Saturday against Indiana. The Cardinals are coming off a letdown performance against Arkansas, in which they ended the first half with only 29 points.
However, this dream of a bounce-back will be easier said than actually done. Indiana is the No. 22-ranked team in the nation and is looking for a bounce-back game of its own. The Hoosiers are coming off a loss to an unranked Minnesota team, which has got to have put a chip on their shoulders. With both teams motivated to get back on the winning side of things, this game could go either way.
Clearly, the Cardinals didn’t do what was necessary to win their last game against the Razorbacks. This means multiple players will have to step up to ensure Louisville does not drop two games in a row. Let’s take a look at three players who must play at the top of their game for a Cardinal win.
