A Closer Look At How Duke Gutted Louisville In The Second Half
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - JANUARY 29: Paolo Banchero #5 of the Duke Blue Devils shoots the ball against the Louisville Cardinals at KFC YUM! Center on January 29, 2022 in Louisville, Kentucky.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.
