LOUISVILLE VS MOREHEAD STATE GAME THREAD- 7PM ACCNX

We have a lot of shooters but I don't think anyone is an elite shooter. Smith may be but he takes some very questionable shots.

No Ryan McMahon or Taquan Dean or DeJuan Wheat.

Against good defensive teams with size we may struggle to get good 3 point shots. This team will go as far as its defense takes it and that may be deep into post season play.
Let me fill you in on a new philosophy. Take open shots if you got them. Its not a coincidence that we only had 5 turnovers. I heard Kelsey say the more passing around you have on a possession trying to find a better shot is what leads to a either bad pass or turnover. If you got an open shot, trust that you can make it but if you don't either fight like hell to get the rebound or get back on defense.

They'll get the looks from outstanding ball movement more so than sets. It's a higher IQ of basketball than we've seen in a minute.
They just need to stay patient against bigger and better teams and not fall into the trap of thinking every shot is a good one.

If I could describe this team in terms of a former player, and by extension Coach Kelsey, but it feels like we cloned a bunch of roger burkmans and set them loose.
