The play from Chris Mack’s Louisville basketball program looked completely different on Friday night against one of the nation’s worst teams, Robert Morris. Why is that? Well, there’s probably a lot of reasons for the struggles, none that would be acceptable in my opinion, but one of the biggest factors for Louisville’s poor first half play was more about what was missing from the court than what was actually on it.
Not having senior guard Christen Cunningham, who missed Friday’s game with concussion-like symptoms after taking a hard fall in practice, seemed to mess with the flow and confidence of the Cards.
