The 6-foot-5 junior guard was the standout in a huge week for the Demon Deacons in their push for an NCAA Tournament bid. First came a 17-point outing with four rebounds and five assists in a blowout win against fellow bubble team Pittsburgh. Then came Saturday's win against then-No. 8 Duke, with Sallis scoring 29 points while making 11 of 13 shots and 5 of 6 3-pointers to go with six rebounds.
Williams followed up with 12 points and 11 boards in a loss to Iowa State, the current No. 6 team in the nation. In only his third start, the freshman went 10 of 12 from the field and scored 31 points with four rebounds in an 80-67 road upset of No. 23 Indiana State.
