Not starting Thursday Lands is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against UMass-Lowell, Michelle Gardner of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact It's unclear if Lands' omission from the starting lineup is a tactical move or possibly injury related. The 6-8 Louisville transfer started the first two games of the year, averaging 12.5 points in 27.5 minutes per contest. He'll be replaced by Jose Perez in the first five and it will be worth seeing what his workload entails against a softer opponent in Thursday's matchup.

He should remain as a bench option when Louisville takes on Texas Tech on Nov. 22.

Strong showing in scrimmage Lands had 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and two steals across 32 minutes in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage.
Impact Lands came out with the green light to shoot and ending up tying El Ellis as the leading scorer on the winning side of the scrimmage. He was also the only player on both sides to make multiple three-point baskets. Lands is a four-star recruit and sits at the top of Louisville's 2022 class, which alone makes him a candidate to log heavy playing time in a backcourt that endured several big offseason losses. At 6-foot-8, he creates a matchup problem for opposing guards on the perimeter.
