Alondes Williams - Struggles with shot WednesdayWilliams provided 15 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 73-69 loss to Louisville.

ImpactWilliams didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still found a way to score at least 15 points for the fourth game in a row. In fact, the senior guard should be treated as one of the best pure scorers in the ACC since he's notched 10 or more points in each one of his appearances this season.

Daivien Williamson - Posts strong scoring figuresWilliamson ended Wednesday's 73-69 loss to Louisville with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds in 31 minutes.

ImpactWilliamson has not looked as decisive or as productive as he was earlier this season when he registered double-digit scoring efforts in six of his first seven contests, but this was a strong performance nonetheless. The senior guard has improved on his numbers on a yearly basis, and he is scoring a career-best 13.5 points per game in 2021-22 so far.

Noah Locke - Drains five triples in winLocke closed Wednesday's 73-69 victory over Wake Forest with 17 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes.

ImpactLocke was one of four Louisville players that scored 10 or more points, and the shooting guard has now scored 12 or more points in three of his last five contests. The senior has had ups and downs over the last few weeks, but it's fair to still rate him as one of Louisville's best players. He is averaging a career-high 11.1 points per game.

Mason Faulkner - Struggles from field in winFaulkner closed with 11 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 73-69 victory over Wake Forest.

ImpactFaulkner might have been one of four Louisville players that scored in double digits in this one, but he didn't have his best shooting performance from the field. That has been a trend for him, though, as Faulkner has not adjusted well to the ACC. He's yet to start for the Cardinals this season while shooting a meager 39.1 percent from the field and 37 percent from three.

Jake LaRavia - Returns in fine formLaRavia totaled 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 73-69 loss to Louisville.

ImpactLaRavia picked up where he left off prior to the COVID-19 protocols and has finished with double digits in the scoring column in all but three of his 11 appearances so far this season. He should remain a mainstay in the starting five for the Demon Deacons and certainly has fantasy relevance on any given night.

Malik Williams - Scores 11 in return from protocolWilliams had 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 73-69 win over Wake Forest.

ImpactWilliams missed one game due to COVID protocols, but was back to his starting role in a game that occurred 11 days later. He reached double figures for the sixth consecutive contest and also chipped in a season-best blocks total. He'll continue to serve as the anchor of the Louisville frontcourt heading into ACC play.
