    Indiana vs. Louisville — A Statistical Comparison

    The Indiana Hoosiers go back on the road this Saturday to face the Louisville Cardinals at 2PM at the KFC Yum! Center.  The game will be televised on ESPN.

    Below is a complete statistical profile and comparison of both teams.  All statistics are courtesy of the NCAA.

    There are few noteworthy statistics:

    • Louisville is No. 1 in the country with 8.4 blocked shots per game.
    • The Cardinals are No. 26 in fouls per game.  That could be a blessing since Indiana only shoots 65.2% from the stripe, good for 296th in the country.
    • Indiana is 226th in turnovers forced and Louisville is 37th in turnovers committed, so the Cardinals might not make a lot of miscues in this one.
    • It’s strength against strength when it comes to Indiana’s field goal percentage offense (ranked 63rd) and Louisville’s field goal percentage defense (8th)
    • Louisville is solid in scoring defense (58th), scoring margin (63rd), and rebounding margin (90th).  Sounds similar to the Louisville teams we saw in 2014 and 2016.
    • The Cardinals don’t shoot a lot of 3-pointers (phew!) and they don’t get a lot of assists.
