This headline should probably be the title of a comic book or something.
Kyle Kuric, The Last Hero Of Freedom Hall. Also, Fan Of Skillet.
Louisville upended No. 1 rival Syracuse on Saturday, ensuring that Freedom Hall’s final college basketball game would also be its greatest. And it wouldn’t have happened without Kyle Kuric. Kuric scored 22 points -- all in the second half -- to send the Cardinals surging ahead to a lead they never gave up.
Keep in mind that Kuric is a reserve sophomore who was averaging 3.5 points a game this season. After doing some math, I found that Kuric has averaged about 0.26 points per minute on the floor. In the second half of today’s game -- the most important half of the season for the Cardinals -- Kuric averaged over one point a minute.
So now that Kyle Kuric has achieved cult hero status, let’s take a moment to get to know him. His official Louisville biography page lists some of his favorites.
Books: Time Travel in Einstein’s Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time

He’s kind of all over the place here, isn’t he? I’m most intrigued by his love of Skillet. Really? Skillet? Well, you’ve earned it, Mr. Kuric. This one goes out to you.
