Louisville @ Pittsburgh

Current Records: Louisville 10-6; Pittsburgh 6-10

What to Know

The Pittsburgh Panthers are 1-11 against the Louisville Cardinals since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. The Panthers and U of L will face off in an ACC battle at 4 p.m. ET at Petersen Events Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Pitt received a tough blow on Tuesday as they fell 77-61 to the Syracuse Orange. Guard Femi Odukale (14 points), forward Mouhamadou Gueye (14 points), and guard Jamarius Burton (14 points) were the top scorers for Pitt.

Meanwhile, the game between U of L and the NC State Wolfpack on Wednesday was not particularly close, with U of L falling 79-63. Despite the defeat, the Cardinals got a solid performance out of forward Sydney Curry, who dropped a double-double on 22 points and ten rebounds. Curry hadn't helped his team much against the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Curry's points were the most he has had all year.

The Panthers are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the The Citadel Bulldogs Nov. 9 easily too and instead slipped up with a 78-63. In other words, don't count U of L out just yet.
