Extended thoughts: Louisville 78, Youngstown State 55

I promise this won’t be as long as the Miami one.

—I know that some fans react to November/December games like Sunday’s as though they’re the plague, and I get it. It’s certainly much easier to get up for Michigan or Texas Tech than it is the Youngstown State Penguins. That doesn’t mean that these early season games against teams ranked outside Ken Pomeroy’s top 100 are “meaningless” or “a waste of time.” Darius Perry’s performance on Sunday is a perfect example of that.

Like a lot of us, Darius probably went into last season thinking he would be one of the ACC’s breakout sophomore stars.
