Louisville Cardinals Pat Kelsey

On Saturday evening, Pitt will take on the Louisville Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center in Kentucky.

PITT’S OUTLOOK

Last time the Panthers played Louisville, they went into the game with a 12-2 record overall, with losses to Duke and Mississippi State. Since then, the Panthers’ season has taken a drastic turn, and they now sit at 16-12 overall and just 7-10 in ACC play. After picking up two-straight wins weeks ago, Pitt has now lost two-straight games.

For the Panthers to snap out of their losing ways, they’re going to have to take down one of the best teams in the league and one of the hottest teams in the entire country.

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (22-6, 15-2 ACC)

Head Coach: Pat Kelsey (1st Season)

LOUISVILLE REPORT

First-year head coach Pat Kelsey has led the Cardinals to their best season in years, completely turning around the trajectory of the program already. The Cardinals have lost just twice in league play, and have won six-straight games.

Last week, Louisville beat Virginia Tech and Florida State to continue its hot streak. In the latest win — over Virginia Tech — Chucky Hepburn led the way with 15 points and six assists. However, Hepburn turned the ball over six times, too.
