3. We Just Witnessed Quentin Snider Become The Hometown Legend

I guarantee that you will never forget this performance by Quentin Snider in Louisville’s three-point victory over sixth ranked Kentucky. He has been the leader of this team, but now he is the main reason why Louisville has a chance to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament.

Snider simply outplayed the famous De’Aaron Fox on Wednesday night in the KFC Yum Center. Snider had 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, which all were higher than Fox’s totals.

To win this basketball game, the Cardinals needed someone to step up and the be guy who would take it over.

It was clear from the start who that was going to be and who that will be going forward.
