2. Ryan Conwell continues to shine

Ryan Conwell continues to be a superstar for the Louisville Cardinals. The Xavier transfer continues to elevate his game and become more comfortable in a Louisville uniform, as he finished with 24 points tonight, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor.

Conwell splashed four 3-pointers on 40.0 percent and was a big reason why Louisville got a dominant 20-point lead in the second half. The guard is poised with the ball and can create his own shot, but late in the game, he has to improve his shot selection and make his free throws. Conwell continues to prove he can be the guy Louisville calls on when they need a bucket, as the senior is an elite scorer who can buy a bucket almost whenever he wants.

Conwell and Mikel Brown Jr. continue to be a dominant duo as these two guards took over. This backcourt is special, and Conwell and Brown Jr. continue to grow chemistry and prove they can take this Louisville team deep into March.
