Louisville is loaded with upperclassmen. Chris Mack as their first-year HC is more than decent.
Louisville won't get rattled unless the crowd really rocks. Since ticket prices are relatively high this should be a really big deal. Getting out early is important.
Give the ball to Romeo. Hope that Juwan "Captain Morgan" is fully recovered from the leg injury and leads like a senior should. In IU's only 2 losses Juwan was in foul trouble early. IU needs these two guys on the court. They get: 42% of IU's points; 44% of IU's field goals; 36% of IU's rebounds; 53% of IU's blocks; and 30% of IU's assists.
Low turnovers, hitting free's, shooting and hitting 3's, Fitzner staying outside to shoot, gritty & smart play by Al D, no early fouls by DD, and excellent defense are all keys. Getting someone besides Morgan and Langford in the offense is critical.
Louisville will try to feed their hot hand. If their 6'11' center has a good day then this game will be a real struggle. Indiana has been beaten in the paint 2 out of the last 3 games. Louisville wants this road win.
Did I mention limiting turnovers? Yeah, and getting to the line. And...
Louisville 68; Indiana 74
