A Closer Look At How Duke Gutted Louisville In The Second Half

As Jim suggested in his summary the Louisville game can be sort of summarized like this: Duke was good, Duke wasn’t so good, then Duke was good again. Call it the Deadly Third.

A lot of that revolved around Mark Williams. He got in foul trouble early and left and then picked up a third at the beginning of the second half.

Louisville kept pace with Duke, down just 61-60, until Williams asserted himself when Sidney Curry drove on Williams and attempted a dunk which Williams emphatically rejected.

On the following play, Durham native El Ellis challenged Williams and couldn’t convert.
