Duke basketball rode its freshman breakout star to an ACC Tournament victory over Louisville.
One of the major missing pieces from the Duke basketball team this season was a dominant paint player, but the Blue Devils (13-11, 9-9 ACC) have now seen a star shine right before its eyes.
Freshman center Mark Williams dominated the Louisville Cardinals (13-7, 8-5 ACC) with 23 points and 19 rebounds in Duke’s 70-56 victory on Wednesday night.
Williams did his damage on 9-of-14 shooting from the floor and 5-of-9 from the free throw line.
