Louisville basketball: Jordan Nwora worthy of All-ACC recognition

Louisville basketball forward Jordan Nwora has helped spearhead an overachieving Cardinals squad when the season was supposed to be a year of rebuilding, and should make an All-ACC team and win most improved player of the year.

During the 2017-2018 season, Nwora averaged 5.7 points per game and averaged 1.7 rebounds in 12 minutes per game. During the offseason he developed his game playing for the Nigerian National team and improved in many facets to lead Louisville past expectations.

Louisville (19-11, 10-7 ACC) has exceeded preseason expectations of finishing 11th in the ACC by currently being 6th in the ACC at 10-7 due to the combination of excellent coaching from Chris Mack and the overall play of Nwora.
