Louisville basketball: Darius Perry 2018-19 year in review
Darius dunks, and he does things
As many may know, the final season of Game of Thrones has begun. Inspired by one of every GoT fans favorite characters, Tyrion Lannister, we present to you some of Darius’ best highlights this season in a little something called, “Darius dunks, and he does things!”
This is from back right before the season started in that awesome event Louisville basketball put on at 4th St Live called “Louisville Live.” What a great night and event that was!

Perry took a page out of the Donovan Mitchell playbook to capture the Louisville Live! Slam Dunk crown.

In consecutive years, Perry throws down a monster dunk on his birthday. Only way it could’ve been better Darius said was,
"“If Laszcewski would have stayed right there and I could have dunked on him.” You hear that Nate! Darius is coming for you!"

Darius Perry continued his better play in the postseason against the Minnesota Golden Gophers as he showed great awareness here that the shot clock never reset. Unfortunately it was too little, too late for the Cards.

In a season amidst controversy and inconsistent play, Perry made some of the most significant contributions at the toughest times for Louisville basketball.
