Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Louisville Cardinals Preview

In a Big East match up this Sunday afternoon the 6th ranked Pittsburgh Panthers host the 16th ranked Louisville Cardinals. Pitt is in the driver’s season to win the Big East and if they can win out they will likely snag a #1 seed in the Big Dance. Unless Pitt implodes at the end of the season Louisville has not chance to win the Big East title, but if they can win this game and finish the season strong they will get a good seed in the NCAA tourney.

Louisville has an ATS record of 14-10-1 on the season and at home they are 9-6-1 ATS. Pitt has an ATS record of 4-3 on the road this season.

Pitt is a big team that ranks 5th in the nation in rebounds per game while Louisville only ranks 115th in the nation. Do the Cardinals have an answer for Pitt’s 6’11” C Gary McGhee (7.3 ppg 7.9 rpg)? They may not, but if they man up as a team and keep him from dominating the glass they have a good chance to win this game.

Louisville ranks 69th in the nation in opponents’ points per game and they have played great D in their last 3 games only allowing an average of 52.7 ppg. In their last game they were awesome on defense holding Rutgers to only 37 points on 29.5% shooting. Their perimeter defense is vital in this game facing the Pitt backcourt of Ashton Gibbs and Brad Wanamaker, who can both drain the 3. This is especially the case with Gibbs, who is hitting on over 47% of his 3-pt shots this season.

The Cardinals will have to get good guard play from their 2 leading scorers of Preston Knowles (14.5 ppg) and Peyton Siva (10.3 ppg). If these guys struggle against Pitt and their 24th ranked defense Louisville will be in big trouble.

Louisville is a very fast and athletic team, but Pitt is more physical and can hit the boards with the best of them. They will be too much for the Cardinals to handle, as they will win this game and cover the spread.

Pick: Pitt

I think Louisville has this game under control although it will be a fight til the end. Lets just say if Louisville plays like they did against Uconn the second go around than Pitt has a heck of a match up ahead of them Sunday night…
