Good No. 3: Louisville Passed The Basketball Pretty Well

There really isn’t doubt about it, if this basketball team wants to be a better shooting team, then they have to keep passing the ball like they have over the past few games. Louisville finished the game tied with Pittsburgh with 12 total assists.

Quentin Snider is the main reason why the Cards have been passing the basketball well as of late.

Snider’s highest assist games of the season have been as followed:

7 against Georgia Tech
6 against EKU
5 against Kentucky
5 against Pittsburgh
5 against Long Beach State

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Cardinals have won every single one of those basketball games where Snider has had at least five assists. Better passing leads to better shots and better shots lead to more points and more points lead to the Cards winning.
