Game Preview
The Louisville Cardinals will give all their efforts to score the first victory of the season when they go up against the Cincinnati Bearcats in the seventh-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday. The Cardinals are recently coming off a 70-38 defeat to Texas Tech as the underdogs. Meanwhile, the Bearcats are coming off a disappointing 81-53 loss to Ohio State as the underdogs. Historically, the Cardinals and the Bearcats have split their series.
It’s undeniable that Louisville is off to a slow start this season, losing their first five encounters. Now, they will use everything to their disposal to turn things around with a victory over the Bearcats, which will give them their first win of the season. Currently, the Cardinals are averaging 63 points per game. In their last game, they scored 38 points in, making 22.4 percent of their field goals and 16.7 percent of their three-pointers.
Jae’Lyn Withers has led the way so far for Louisville, with just seven points and five rebounds. Also, El Ellis finished with seven points and three assists, while JJ Traynor added six points and three rebounds. Ultimately, the Cardinals have played well defensively, giving up just a bit more than 70 points per game. In their last game, they gave up 70 points and will need a similar defensive effort if they want to win this game.
On the other hand, the Bearcats lost their last two games, as they were unable to keep up their three-game winning streak. Against Louisville, they will try to cut their losing streak with a victory, which would score them their fourth win in their last six games. Per game, Cincinnati is averaging 75 points. In their last games, they scored 53 points, making 38.5 percent of their field goals and 22.2 percent of their three-pointers.
Ultimately, Louisville lost all five matches they have played this season. Offensively, they have struggled a lot, scoring less than 65 points per match. Also, their ball movement isn’t that great and they don’t rebound the ball as well as their counterparts, so don’t expect them to get a lot of extra scoring opportunities. They have also been very reckless with the ball, which will definitely cost them against the Bearcats, who force a lot of turnovers.
