3. Explosive Offense
The Cardinals are a tough team to guard. Through seven games, the Louisville squad averages 96.7 points per game and has scored over 100 points four times. This is a good-sized margin over Arkansas' 88.1 points per game, putting the Cardinals in a good spot for this matchup.
One reason for Louisville’s scoring outbursts has been its efficient shooting. The Cardinals are shooting 48.1 percent from the floor and 37.3 percent from beyond the arc. This shooting is up and down the roster, as six players average at least nine points for the Cardinals.
The offensive ability of the Louisville Cardinals is special, and that’s why they are ranked so high. They used this weapon of theirs to take down at the time No.9 Kentucky, and haven’t looked back since. Arkansas will just be the Cardinals' next victim come Wednesday, and the Razorbacks won’t know what him them.
