Except KU plays a defense nothing like this. There is little pressure involved and they don't create turnovers at all. It's all about forcing teams into bad shots through Withey's presence. Whereas Louisville creates the 2nd most turnovers in the nation (behind VCU) with their full court, on the ball defense and it's not difficult to see why.

Hancock averaged 8 points on 22 minutes this season. He's a piece to the puzzle. Is McGary a scrub? He averaged 7.5 pts in 19 minutes this season. Is Kevin Young a scrub for KU? 8 pts on 22 min/game. It's a surprise Hancock played as well as he did, but every year the team that wins seems to have a guy that jumps up and plays better than expected.
KU doesn't press like this, but they're physical and maintain lots of contact with the guy they're defending.
