Noah Locke - Strong effort once again Locke registered 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt) and three rebounds in 31 minutes during Friday's 80-72 OT loss to Furman.
Impact It's early in the season, but Locke is already making a claim to be one of Louisville's main scoring weapons -- he has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his first two contests of the campaign. He doesn't contribute a lot in other categories, but he doesn't really have to if he keeps putting up points on the board as regularly as he's done it so far.

Jae'Lyn Withers - Comes close to double-double Withers notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 80-72 OT loss to Furman.
Impact After logging just 12 minutes and scoring three points in the season opener, Withers bounced back here and delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court and ending just one rebound away from posting a double-double. He averaged 10.1 points per game last season, and he should hover around that mark once again if he gets enough playing time as it was the case in this one.

Furman and Louisville both look to put winning streaks togetherNOVEMBER 11, 2021 • Associated Press
Samuell Williamson - Double-doubles off bench Williamson ended with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 72-60 victory over Southern University.
Impact Surprisingly, Williamson started the season on the bench but was able to deliver one of the Cardinals' most efficient stat lines with a strong double-double. He should find his way into the starting lineup sooner than later, presumably Friday against Fruman.
NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Williams - Pulls down 13 boards Williams ended Tuesday's 72-60 victory over Southern University with six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.
Impact Williams was a beast on the glass and while his scoring numbers were not very high, that might have been due to the nature of a game where the Cardinals thrashed their opponents. Williams should be back in the starting lineup sooner than later, presumably for Friday's game against Furman.
NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mason Faulkner - Limited output in opener Faulkner totaled two points (1-2 FG) and one assist in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 72-60 victory over Southern University.
Impact Faulkner did not play in the team's exhibition game last week due to an ankle injury, and while he didn't play a big role in this one, that should change with time. He averaged at least 17 points per game in each of his last two seasons at Western Carolina, and he should be a decent piece off the bench for the Cardinals.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • COURIER-JOURNAL.COM
Dre Davis - Starting opener Davis is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's opener against Southern.
Impact Davis started 17 of the 20 games he was healthy for last season, averaging 7.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 28.9 minutes per game. He'll get the nod to open up the new campaign ahead of Samuell Williamson, although could see a fairly even split in minutes.
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Williams - Not starting opener Williams is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Southern.
Impact Williams got beat to the punch by incoming Junior College transfer Sydney Curry. The 6-11 big man played just three games last season due to a foot injury but looked back to normal in a scrimmage held a few weeks ago. Williams stands three inches taller than Curry and certainly will have more of a presence in the paint, however, Curry averaged 12.9 points per game last year and offers a better scoring option for head coach Chris Mack and the Cardinals.
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Samuell Williamson - Not starting opener Williamson will come off the bench Tuesday against Southern.
Impact Williamson started in 15 of his 18 appearances for the Cardinals last season, but he'll open the 2021-22 campaign by coming off the bench. He averaged 9.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 28.7 minutes during the 2020-21 season and should remain a significant rotation piece for Louisville again this year.
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sydney Curry - Starting opener Curry is starting in Tuesday's season opener against Southern.
Impact Curry is in his first year at Louisville after transferring over in the offseason from John A. Logan College. The 6-8 junior averaged 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game a season ago while earning Great Rivers Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors. It'll be interesting to see if he can maintain the same level of play at this level. He will likely be rotating with Malik Williams in the frontcourt.

Mason Faulkner - Full-go this week Faulkner (ankle) will be a full-go for Tuesday's game against Southern, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.
Impact Faulkner did not play in the team's exhibition game last week due to an ankle injury. It was only a precautionary measure, however, and the team will have their senior guard available to mix into the backcourt rotation.
