Louisville Cardinals Set to Battle Florida A&M Rattlers at KFC Yum! Center

As the Louisville Cardinals prepare to face off against the Florida A&M Rattlers at the KFC Yum! Center, fans are eager for what promises to be an electrifying game. The Cardinals, coming off a high-scoring victory against Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on December 15th with a score of 94-83, are looking to maintain their momentum.

In their previous game, LOU showcased an impressive offensive performance. Shooting over 54 percent from both the field and beyond the arc is no small feat. Their free throw accuracy was near perfect at 95 percent, which could be a critical factor in close-game situations. With such statistics in hand, it's clear that LOU has found a rhythm in their shooting that they will look to exploit against FAMU.

However, it wasn't just shooting where LOU excelled; they also demonstrated strong ball movement with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.42 and managed to capitalize on turnovers by scoring 19 points off them. This level of playmaking and defensive pressure will surely challenge FAMU's offense.

On the other side of the court, FAMU cannot be underestimated despite being visitors. They will come into this game looking for an upset and hoping that LOU might get complacent after their recent win.

Looking back further into LOU's season provides insight into areas where they can improve. The December 10th loss against Florida State Seminoles showed weaknesses when facing fast breaks and points in paint defense – areas where FAMU might find some opportunities.

The upcoming match is not just about maintaining offensive efficiency for LOU but also about tightening up defense and controlling the pace of the game – something they struggled with during their loss against Miami (FL) Hurricanes on December 4th when they were limited to only 53 points while allowing 80.

Fans should expect LOU to come out strong defensively while continuing their hot shooting streak from downtown. If they can keep up this level of play on both ends of the court, there’s little doubt that victory could once again grace this proud team at home.

The anticipation builds as we approach tip-off scheduled for December 17th at 7:00 PM local time at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY. Fans unable to attend can catch all the action live on ESPN3 via internet broadcast networks – ensuring no one misses out on what is set up to be another thrilling chapter in Louisville Cardinals basketball history.
