Rick Pitino has a difficult decision to make.
This year’s Louisville basketball team struggles to score, especially in the half-court. They average 78.5 points per game, not a bad number, but they don’t have the explosive scorers we’re accustomed to seeing at UofL like Russ Smith, Peyton Siva or even Chris Jones.
They don’t have a plethora of great shooters, but they do have plenty of athletic posts that can run the floor. Pitino’s proved in the past he can win by running the floor, but running the floor against Kentucky might be a death wish.
