So how ya feeling about tomorrow’s Yum game?
Louisville has played some good teams - 5 in the top 25.
Didn’t win any of them, but they gave #12 Oklahoma all they wanted.
But they’ve been battle tested by top teams so it’s not like they’ve played a cupcake, non-conference schedule.

I have my doubts about this one. Especially if Trimble can’t go.

It's a decent matchup. Louisville without much in the front court

Not good defensively. Shoot a bunch of threes despite not being a good shooting team

Hepburn is their best player. Tough 2-way guard, leads team in points and assists

Need to rebound missed 3s and get out in transition. Should be a game UNC wins but I'd feel a lot better with Seth in the lineup
 
Louisville is a very good rebounding team. They shoot a LOT of 3s, but so far haven't been making a high percentage.

6-11 James Scott from Fayetteville is their main inside presence. He only shoots about 3 FGAs/game, but makes almost 90%. Great rebounder and shot blocker, but foul prone, and a poor FT shooter.

6-11 6th-yr Sr Noah Waterman has been described as a 6-11 2G. He shoots almost 3x as many 3s as 2s. Career 37% 3FG%. Also a little foul prone.

6-6 J'Vonne Hadley plays the 3-4, is a tenacious rebounder.

6-6 Terrence Edwards is a transfer from last season's very good JMU team. He plays the 2-3 and contributes in multiple ways.

6-2 Chucky Hepburn is a transfer who had a very good career at Wisconsin. He is tough and experienced. He can control the game.

Many of you may remember 6-2 2G Reyne Smith from Australia via College of Charleston. In his 4th collegiate basketball game, he lit up Carolina for 19 pts on 5-11 3FGAs as a freshman at College of Charleston. Career 37% 3FG%.

Quad 1 game for Carolina. Need this one.

Hubert is going to have to play RJ, Cadeau, Jackson, Powell and Trimble as much as possible. Rotate the bigs and give Tysin and Withers spot minutes. That is the only way they have a shot of outscoring the other team, because they aren't going to win with defense.
