—Spread check (TaxSlayer Bowl): Louisville by 6.5.
—The Louisville basketball team knows it has to get better on the glass.
They don't have T-shirts made up just yet, but Louisville's players have responded to their coach's challenge to become more physical and tough by picking up practice intensity and making up themed days for motivation.
So far it's just Toughness Tuesdays and either Fight Someone Fridays or Physical Fridays, depending on which player you ask. But there could be more themed days in the future, if needed.
Either way, the goal is simple: Louisville's players aren't happy with what they've seen on film this season, as opponents regularly beat them to loose balls and offensive rebounds, so they want to continuously remind themselves what's important.
