Samuell Williamson - Does not see floor Wednesday Williams (Coach's decision) did not play in Wednesday's game, Eric Crawford of WDRB reports.
Impact Williamson had seen between 11-17 minutes since he started coming off the bench seven games ago. Apparently he is another Cardinals player that is in the doghouse. The junior is averaging 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game this season. Louisville would be wise to utilize Williamson going forward, but that is certainly not a given at this stage. Their next scheduled game is next Wednesday against Miami.

Malik Williams - Surprisingly little usage in return Williams contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across six minutes during Wednesday's 63-57 loss to Notre Dame.
Impact Williams was back from a two-game suspension Wednesday, but it appears he's very much still in the doghouse. The 6-11 senior barely played in what was a tight, winnable contest, and he also appears to have lost his starting spot for the time being. Louisville has now lost six games in a row and is on the outside looking in with respect to the NCAA Tournament, but apparently making a point with the fifth-year senior is more important than winning games at this stage. The Cardinals at least have a long break ahead to sort out their affairs, as they don't have another scheduled matchup until next Wednesday against Miami.

Jae'Lyn Withers - Double-digit scorer once again Withers contributed 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 92-69 loss to Syracuse.
Impact Withers is not having his best season, but the sophomore is trending in the right direction of late and has now scored in double digits in three of his last six appearances, including each of his last two contests. Withers has played every single game this calendar year as a bench piece and is averaging just 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game across his last 11 appearances, so his fantasy upside will be limited as long as he remains in this role.
