Louisville basketball keeps lowering expectations

The University of Louisville basketball program has had lackluster teams before. Nothing like this year’s, however. It’s the same script every game. No one has the desire to do extra things. Defense is a second thought. Diving on the floor is non-existent. One quit counting how many open shots the opposition has during games. A Cardinal defender would come running past shooter, getting a hand up maybe two feet away.

Senior El Ellis averages almost 17 points but as a point guard has turned the ball over at an alarming rate. He has to 35 turnovers to assist 27 assists.
