Extended thoughts: Louisville 77, Wake Forest 65

No big lead in today. Tim Duncan walked and fouled out in ‘96.

—I think we have to start this post by talking about Samuell Williamson, who has easily (and justifiably) been the most heavily criticized Cardinal through the first two months of the season. That criticism reached an apex after last week’s game against Virginia Tech, where Williamson’s lackluster play (and effort, according to his head coach) resulted in him watching from the bench as Quinn Slazinski took his spot for all of the game’s most crucial moments.

Mack and Williamson had a lengthy discussion following the game, and the former McDonald’s All-American responded not by pouting or by posting some passive aggressive message on social media, but by earning the coveted gold jersey as the team’s most valuable practice player for the previous week.
