Dealing with undisclosed injury Scott (undisclosed) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Arkansas.

Impact Scott has started in all but three of his appearances this season, including the last two games. He went scoreless and was limited to 13 minutes in the loss to Oklahoma on Jan. 3, so perhaps the injury might have played a role in that. If Scott is unable to play Wednesday, expect Corey Chest and Malik Dia to fill the void at center.

Impact Scott filled the stat sheet as the Cardinals secured an easy win over the Fighting Irish, and the big man notched his fourth double-double of the season -- and first since his 12-point, 10-rebound effort versus Virginia on Jan. 18.

Fills valuable minutes Scott contributed eight points (4-4 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 72-59 win over Wake Forest.

Impact After scoring a season-best 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting last week against SMU, Scott was back to roughly his season-long average, but continued to offer steady production on the glass. He continues to provide valuable minutes for a Louisville team that lost forwards Kasean Pryor and Aly Khalifa earlier in the year. Now with a 10-game winning streak to improve to 9-1 in ACC play, the Cardinals are looking strongly at a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Records double-double Scott supplied 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 74-64 victory over Clemson.

Impact Scott had an excellent performance, as he was perfect from the field and left his mark while recording at least one tally in each of the five major categories. This was just the second double-double for Scott this season, and while he's proven he can supply offense on any given night, his lack of consistency makes him a player hard to trust in most formats.
