The past two months have been difficult for the Louisville basketball program but the team has managed to overcome the distractions and win on the court. However, Louisville has struggled to cover the spread, as the team is 1-4 ATS compared to 4-1 SU. Louisville will look to record their biggest win of the young season when they host the Seton Hall Pirates Sunday.
Louisville is playing excellent defense this season but the offense still needs work. The Cardinals are averaging 76.8 points per game while shooting a sub-par 43.5% from the field and 33.3% from beyond the arc. If the offense is to start making progress then senior Quentin Snider needs to start playing better, as he is averaging just 7.2 points and shooting 29.5%.
Seton Hall continues to rely heavily on their starting lineup but that has yet to be much of an issue with Desi Rodriguez, Myles Powell, Angel Delgado and Khadeen Carrington all averaging at least 11 points per game. The Pirates shoot well from the floor, which is a good thing as the team generally struggles on the glass aside from Delgado.
