Mikel Brown Jr. - Another big day Brown finished with 29 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and five steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 82-71 win over Baylor.

Impact It's almost impossible to live up to the 45-point showing Brown logged five days earlier, but the freshman still led all scorers in the contest, and he picked up a season-best steals total, negating his six turnovers committed. This year's freshman class is as deep as any, but Brown continues to cement himself as an NBA lottery pick.

J'Vonne Hadley - Scores season-high 20 points in win Hadley contributed 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 82-71 victory over Baylor.

Impact Hadley hasn't been the Cardinals' go-to scorer in many games so far this season, especially against tougher opponents. The 6-foot-7 senior turned the tables in the sneaky win over the Bears, though, as he finished with the second-most points on his squad and shot 70 percent from the field. He's now averaging 12 points and 4.5 rebounds in his last eight showings.

Brown has scored at least 20 points in three of his six appearances since returning from injury Jan. 24.

Sananda Fru - Leads Louisville in road win Fru notched 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Saturday's 88-80 victory over Wake Forest.

Impact After scoring just seven points combined in games against Duke and SMU to close out January, Fru scored a dozen against Notre Dame earlier this week before posting his second-best scoring total of the year Saturday. The 6-11 junior was perfect from the field en route to leading all Louisville players in scoring. He'll look to keep things rolling with a quick turnaround, as Louisville hosts NC State on Monday.

J'Vonne Hadley - Part of starting lineup Hadley is part of the Cardinals' starting lineup for their upcoming game Saturday at Wake Forest.

Impact Currently 1-2 across their last three away games, the Cardinals are not only trying to establish better consistency but will also be full strength with Hadley available at Wake Forest. The senior excelled across UofL's aforementioned matchups, averaging 14.0 points (on 53.4/35.3/85.0 shooting splits) and 6.3 rebounds.

J'Vonne Hadley - Game-time decision Saturday Hadley (back) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

Impact Even though the momentum of Hadley's availability was trending positively Friday night, it looks like Louisville will need just a bit more time to decide whether or not the Cardinals will use him at Wake Forest. He is trying to bounce back from a three-minute performance Wednesday against Notre Dame.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

J'Vonne Hadley - Probable Saturday Hadley (back) has been listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

Impact Hadley, who sustained a back injury during Wednesday's win over Notre Dame, is expected to be available for the Cardinals' game against the Demon Deacons on Saturday. The 6-foot-7 senior, who is averaging 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and one steal across 21 games (20 starts), will continue to have his status monitored during pregame warmups.

J'Vonne Hadley - Dealing with back injury Hadley (back) suffered a back injury during Wednesday's 76-65 victory over Notre Dame, per Jody Demling of 247Sports.com.

Impact Hadley played just three minutes against the Fighting Irish before going down with a back injury. The 6-foot-7 senior has averaged 10.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game across 21 contests for the Cardinals this season. The details and severity of the issue are thus far unknown, but his next chance to return will come against Wake Forest on Saturday.
