Samuell Williamson shows the form that will make him a breakout player for Louisville in the not-too-distant future. He had five points against North Carolina (Cindy Rice Shelton photo).

So encouraging to see Malik Williams getting better, realizing his potential, with each game as the University of Louisville basketball team enters the home stretch. The uncertainty, the awkwardness, the inability to finish shots, all behind him on Saturday.

The 6-foot-10 junior, who has been described by teammate David Johnson as the team’s alpha dog, urging greater effort from fellow players in recent days, doing everything he can to provide extra motivation.
