2. Quentin Snider | Louisville Cardinals

Quentin Snider is coming off the Cardinals’ win over Pittsburgh having scored a season-high 22 points for the second time this season. Whenever Louisville has needed someone to have a huge game in order to take down an elite powerhouse, Snider has risen to the challenge this year.

The last time Louisville had a top ten opponent coming into the KFC Yum Center, Snider scored 22 points to stun the Kentucky Wildcats. His scoring kept the game in hand, as Louisville was able to beat the Cats for the first time in years.

With that being said, will Quentin Snider have another Kentucky-like performance, but this time against the Blue Devils? While it’s getting easy to expect Donovan Mitchell to score at a high pace, Snider has also been highly reliable from the perimeter in 2016-2017. Let’s see if he can give Duke all kind of problems on Saturday.
