In retrospect, woefully overmatched Simmons College may have been a perfect first test for this extremely made over Cardinal squad.
Tony Branch’s team was just pesky and well-drilled enough to expose flaws. Without ever being a legit threat to win the game and shake U of L’s still formulating confidence.
Baby steps are in order.
Nervousness was obvious.
Louisville turned it over their first three possessions of the game. Then did it again first three possessions after intermission.
I thought nervous and sloppy because of that. Dennis Evans used the word jittery. It was obvious.
