Pitt (16-8, 7-6 ACC) is looking to extend its winning streak to five in a row with a win against Louisville on Saturday at the Petersen Events Center.
The Panthers already took care of the Cardinals once this season, beating Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center back in early January to earn their first conference win of the year. Now, Pitt is one of the hottest teams in the league and sits in the top half of the conference standings with its eyes on the NCAA Tournament.
PITT’S OUTLOOK
The Panthers are red-hot winners of six of their last seven games and four straight. Recently, Pitt knocked off previously 19-5 Virginia, winning on the road and snapping a massive home winning streak for the Cavaliers. After the win, Pitt appeared on ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi’s “Next Four Out,” entering the discussion for an automatic bid to this year’s NCAA Tournament.
