5. Extra Possessions
The Cardinals average 9.4 steals per game, ranking them in the top 25 in the nation. This is a team effort as five Cardinals average at least one steal per game, and this has become a dominant strength of this Louisville Cardinal team.
This isn’t the only way the Cardinals get extra possessions, as this Louisville team has stayed active on the offensive boards. The Cardinals average 14.3 offensive rebounds per game, creating more positive possessions on offense. This workload is mainly carried by Sananda Fru, who has 24 offensive rebounds in the Cardinals' seven games.
Even though the Cardinals are very efficient, they could always score more. The second opportunities the Cardinals create for themselves give them the chance to do that and will be a big reason they walk out of Fayetteville with a win.
