A look at how to watch Friday’s game between Louisville and Evansville online.
On Friday, the college basketball season will get underway as schools look to find their way to the Final Four next spring. One of those games seen will be Louisville taking on Evansville from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY.
According to ESPN, Louisville coach Rick Pitino chose this game because Evansville has experience, leadership and probably the one that means the most, a respectable RPI.
"“What we did was, we wanted people who had at least three starters back when we were scheduling, we wanted teams with experience and we wanted teams we thought would be a Top 100 RPI team,” Pitino said."
This leadership of Evansville that Pitino mentioned includes returning senior guard Jaylon Brown. In 30.2 minutes per game played, he had 10.8 points and shot 50.8-percent from the field.
As for Louisville, they have to find new scoring options to replace Damion Lee and Trey Lewis, who graduated after the 2015-16 season. They even lost third-leading scorer Chinanu Onuaku to the NBA Draft. This could mean a big role off the bat for freshman VJ King, a 6-foot-7 small forward. He’s an explosive athlete that could bring a fresh look to this Cardinal team, depending on how much Pitino decides to use him.
Quentin Snider may become the leader of this team, though. The junior point guard played in 27.8 minutes per game last season, and should be in line for an uptick in playing time and production.
With this in mind, here’s a look at how to watch Louisville vs. Evansville on Friday night.
