X-Factor vs. Virginia: Mark Williams needs to continue his paint domination

(02/20/21 5:03pm)

Duke is coming off of a two-game win streak, against N.C. State and most recently Wake Forest.

Williams proved that he’s an asset in the game against N.C. State and now that he’s found his complement on the floor, I believe he will be more important in the remaining games of the season.
