Current Louisville Guard Chucky Hepburn Announces Transfer Destination Today
The Sooners and Cardinals are weirdly close teams on offense.
While the Cards average 82.6 PPG, the Sooners are just ahead with 82.8.
The Cards average 16.4 assists, and the Sooners average 16.2.
Both teams make 29.2 shots per game, and both teams shoot roughly 20 free throws per game.
The similarities are almost eerie.
The key difference is in shot selection and efficiency.
Louisville shoots more shots and at a better rate and runs a much faster tempo.
While Oklahoma is a considerably better three-point shooting team, the Cards are considerably better at shooting inside the arc, being ranked third in Division-1 with 63.6% accuracy.
Both teams will see a lot of similarities in one another’s game, and it’ll all come down to who runs their offense the best.
As his name might imply, the Cardinals will have to fear star guard Jeremiah Fears.
Not only does he lead the team with 16.4 points per game, he also leads the team with 4.6 assists per game and has the 15th highest usage rate in the country.
The Cardinals will, just like last game against Javon Small, have their hands full with this shifty guard.
Jalon Moore and Kobe Elvis are two other threats to score, averaging 16.2 and 14 points, respectively.
Elvis also chips in 4.2 assists a game, which is second behind Fears on the team.
Porter Moser is known for running a four-out offense with a lot of movement off the ball, so the Cards will have to stay disciplined for a full shot clock every possession down the court.
