What's this?

I would expect a similar strategy to UNC for him...

Put Aluma in lots of naked ball screens (ball screens with only the ball handler and the screener on one side of the floor) and have Curry both hedge and recover in space with a lot of room for Aluma to operate.

Id also look for Mutts to play more in the post attacking that matchup on the block rather than feeding Aluma 20x as usual.

Mutts could have big numbers, unless Louisville adapts to play smaller to guard Aluma, in which case itll be a better matchup for Aluma than Mutts.

He is going to body Aluma down low, Keve doesn't respond to contact well -- soflahokie 03/01/2022 4:51PM
