In Chris Dortch’ Fast Break for SEC Digital Network, he looks at what the Cats will need to against Louisville to ensure a second game in NOLA.
Here’s what he has to say.
[I][B]‘CATS ON THE GLASS[/B][LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]: Kentucky has taken one step farther in the NCAA Tournament every year in coach [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT][B]John Calipari[/B][LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]’s tenure, and if it wants to take the next one – the NCAA title game – here’s how it’s going to happen: To beat Louisville, the Wildcats will have to defensive rebound as well as or better than it did against Baylor in the South Regional finals.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]Kentucky gang-rebounded against the Bears and made some manly grabs in traffic. If the Wildcats can do that against Louisville, it’ll serve two purposes:[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]One, it’ll help ignite Kentucky’s transition game, which helped the Wildcats quickly separate from Baylor.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]Two, it’ll keep the Cardinals from doing damage from 3-point range. Louisville, which finished fifth in the Big East in offensive rebounding, likes to crash the offensive glass and pass out to an open 3 shooter.[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
