Indiana played Louisville last season, but the Cardinals’ roster was completely overhauled entering their first season under coach Pat Kelsey.
Indiana faces a familiar opponent Wednesday in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. But aside from the uniform, Louisville has nothing the Hoosiers will recognize from last year’s matchup.
Tipoff between Indiana and Louisville is scheduled for noon ET Wednesday at the Imperial Ballroom in Paradise Island, Bahamas, on ESPN. The Hoosiers and Cardinals await a second-round matchup against No. 3 Gonzaga or West Virginia.F Kasean Pryor : 12.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 34.3 FG%G Chucky Hepburn : 10.5 ppg, 4.0 apg, 3.0 spg, 26.7 3pt FG%F James Scott : 8.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 84.2 FG%F Khani Rooths : 3.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 38.5 FG%G Skyy Clark: 13.2 ppg, 3.0 apg, 35.3 3pt FG%G Michael James: 12.6 ppg, 5.
That loss was especially concerning because Louisville forced 20 turnovers, which will often lead to wins. But the Cardinals’ defense faltered in that game, as Tennessee shot 56.6% from the field and 52.6% from 3-point range. Tennessee also had its way on the glass, out-rebounding Louisville 36-25. Louisville allows 37.3 rebounds per game, 280th in that category.
