Drawing any conclusions from an 86-53 win over Eastern Michigan would be an exercise in pure hyperbole for any University of Louisville basketball fan.
Some reasons to be encouraged before the schedule gets real, before the Kentucky game and the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule.
— Finally a team with some shooters. Damion Lee and Trey Lewis making UofL a three-point shooting team again. Lee with two three’s among his 16 points on Saturday, Lewis with three of them and 11 points. The confidence spreading to Quentin Snider, two 3-pointers and 13 points.
— Chinanu Onuaku collecting only two fouls in 22 minutes, possibly setting a new endurance record for him.
