Impact Ellis had another impressive outing as an offensive threat for the Cardinals, and this was the fourth time he scored at least 20 points since the start of the current calendar year. He's averaging 16.8 points, 5.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

Goes for 19 points in loss Ellis posted 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 75-54 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact The Cardinals struggled badly and only mustered 54 total points, but as has been the trend all season long, Ellis was their main scoring threat. The senior also extended his streak of double-digit scoring games to 11, and he's putting up 19.4 points per game in that stretch.

Goes for 22 points Saturday Ellis posted 22 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 80-59 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Ellis has been on a tear since the beginning of the new year and has scored at least 20 points in three of his four appearances in 2023. He's on a run of 10 straight games with double-digit scoring figures, and he's averaging 19.4 points with 5.6 assists while shooting 40.6 percent from the field in that span.

How Louisville basketball is managing El Ellis' heavy workload — and asking him for more Louisville's point guard is logging major minutes, and that's unlikely to change. But Kenny Payne still needs more from the senior.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • COURIER-JOURNAL.COM

Extends 20-point streak Ellis supplied 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 80-72 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Ellis has now scored at least 20 points in three games in a row and four of his last five appearances, so his role as Louisville's main scoring weapon is completely safe. He's also thriving as a passer, as he has racked up 26 assists during that five-game stretch, one that has seen the sophomore average 20.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 steals per contest.

Comes close to double-double Ellis produced 20 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 70-69 loss to Syracuse.

Impact Ellis has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four games, and he also ended just one assist away from recording what would've been his second double-double of the campaign. He's averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game over his last five games, and his role as one of Louisville's main offensive weapons is getting more and more noticeable with each passing game.

Louisville hosts the Syracuse Orange after El Ellis scored 23 points in Louisville's 86-63 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats

JANUARY 3, 2023 • Associated Press

Explodes for 30 and 10 Ellis closed Wednesday's 94-83 victory over Western Kentucky with 30 points (10-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes.

Impact Ellis had to do basically everything once again for Louisville, but this time it was enough for the team to get their first win of the season. This was the first time this season that a player has scored 30 points and had 10 assists, an occurrence that happened six times in D1 all of last season. Ellis will be an elite fantasy option once again on Saturday against Florida A&M.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 inefficient points Ellis provided 15 points (5-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 75-53 loss to Florida State.

Impact Ellis had two 29-point performances during the first three games of the season, but he hasn't been able to reproduce those efforts since then, and even when he scores in double digits, he does it at a very inefficient rate. The last four games are telling in that department. Even though he's scored at least 13 points in three of those contests, he's also shooting a meager 29.8 percent from the field in that span.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high seven points Ellis recorded seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 70-38 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact The Cardinals struggled badly on offense and only amassed 38 points as a team in a lopsided defeat against Texas Tech, and in fact, Ellis ended as the co-leading scorer despite only scoring seven points. He's now failed to reach the 15-point mark in back-to-back games and in three of his last five contests, but his role as Louisville's main offensive threat is not under question since he's attempted double-digit shots in every game so far.

Struggles from field Ellis finished Monday's 80-54 loss to Arkansas with 11 points (4-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes.

Impact Ellis was bound to cool off after posting back-to-back 29-point performances, and he had a rough outing from the field since he needed 16 shots just to score 11 points. Despite the poor performance, Ellis' role as the main scoring threat for the Cardinals is not under question, and he could deliver a bounce-back performance against Texas Tech on Nov. 22.

Ellis leads Louisville against No. 9 Arkansas after 29-point outing

Louisville visits the No. 9 Arkansas Razorbacks after El Ellis scored 29 points in Louisville's 61-60 loss to the Appalachian State Mountaineers

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • Associated Press

Shines offensively once again Ellis racked up 29 points (8-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 61-60 loss to App State.

Impact Ellis scored 29 points for the second game in a row, and he's been an absolute revelation for the Cardinals in the opening weeks of the season. He's taken at least 15 shots in each of his first three appearances, so his role as the team's main scoring threat shouldn't be under question going forward.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Improves efficiency Saturday Ellis provided 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 73-72 loss to Wright State.

Impact Ellis finished the season opener with 14 points in 15 shots, but he took a big step forward here, leading the Cardinals in scoring while also improving his shooting numbers a great deal. It's still early in the season, but all signs point to him having a huge role on offense for Louisville every time he steps on the court.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores inefficient 14 points Ellis recorded 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 40 minutes in Wednesday's 67-66 loss against Bellarmine.

Impact The shooting numbers were dreadful and Ellis ended up with more shot attempts than points scored, but either way, the overall stat line was decent and showed just how much of a contributor he can be. Ellis was expected to have a bigger role this season following the departure of key players such as Mason Faulkner, Noah Locke and Jarrod West, and the season opener did nothing but back that up. At least from a volume perspective, look for Ellis to be one of the Cardinals' go-to players on offense on a game-to-game basis.

Seven assists in scrimmage Ellis had 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage.

Impact Ellis had the highest plus/minus rating of anyone in the game while serving as the leading distributor on the winning side of the contest. With Mason Faulkner, Noah Locke and Jarrod West all departing after last season, Ellis stands to increase his production in what's likely to be a starting role, and he should be a key ball-handler in 2022-23.
