  • Elliot Williams: 20 x 7?

Tiger guard Elliot Williams — a “defensive specialist” as a freshman at Duke, you’ll recall — will enter some rarefied air if he scores 20 points Saturday afternoon against Arkansas-Little Rock. Not since Penny Hardaway has a Tiger scored 20 in seven straight games. Hardaway pulled the trick in 12 consecutive games between December 9, 1992, and January 11, 1993.
