Quick Blurbs - Update On Louisville's Offense

I commented on Louisville's offense a week ago in this post.

Here is an update via Basketball Prospectus:

"Louisville looked really good last night, winning at Georgetown 76-58. (Any team looks good when they make their first seven threes.) In fact the Cards seem to have turned over something of a new leaf since their debacle at Notre Dame 12 days ago. Rick Pitino's team has rebounded from their 33-point loss in South Bend to score 1.28 points per trip over their last four games, an impressive figure even given the uneven competition (DePaul, Providence, Cincinnati and the Hoyas). This miniature success story has had many authors, but it certainly hasn't hurt matters that Preston Knowles has gone 13-of-20 on his threes over that span. Needless to say, if Louisville can match their excellent defense with good offense, they will be a very tough out next month, no matter how highly-seeded the opponent."

The Cardinals did play Depaul(224th in Def. Eff.) and Providence (139th) in that stretch so the numbers could be somewhat inflated, but performances against Cincinnati(78th) and Georgetown (38th) are legitimate. Overall, their offensive eff. numbers have improved a bit from 56th to 47th at 110.9 points/100 possession.
