Louisville basketball defeated the Kentucky Wildcats last night in a high-scoring, fast-paced, and thrilling game. The Cardinals' impressive 96-88 win over the Wildcats was eye-popping for many reasons, but Mikel Brown Jr. and his performance will stand out. The 5-star freshman led all scorers with 29 points, and he did it dominantly.
He controlled the pace of the game and looked like he never broke a sweat. He was finishing at the rim through contact, splashing 3-pointers from well behind the line, and was weaving through the lane and getting teammates open. This Cardinals team is poised for a deep playoff run, and he will be a big reason why.
