Two under-the-radar ACC contenders square off on Saturday as Louisville (11-5) travels to face Pitt (12-3).
Louisville weathered a tough patch during the latter part of non-conference play but has since turned the tide, riding a five-game winning streak. The Cardinals’ latest triumph came in a 74-64 victory over Clemson, improving their conference record to 4-1.
Pitt, on the other hand, has had a more consistent season overall but stumbled in their last outing, falling to Duke in a humbling 74-47 defeat. The loss snapped the Panthers' own five-game winning streak, a run that had stretched through much of December. Scoring just 47 points against Duke was a season-low for Pitt, raising questions about their offensive rhythm.

Pittsburgh Panthers team news & key performers
For the Panthers, it was a tough night against Duke’s stifling defense. Cameron Corhen was the lone bright spot, leading Pitt with 11 points and seven rebounds. Their leading scorer, Ishmael Leggette, struggled mightily, finishing with just four points on a dismal 2-of-15 shooting as Duke’s size and physicality wore him down. Pitt was also outmuscled on the boards, losing the rebounding battle 41-26, and managed only 31% shooting from the field.

Fellow Cardinal James Scott added his own double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, shooting a perfect 5-of-5 from the field. Scott also chipped in two blocks, a steal, and an assist. Louisville’s defense was rock-solid, holding Clemson to 40% shooting while the Cardinals connected on 46% of their attempts.
