Louisville is looking to rebound after a loss at Florida State on Saturday.
Pitt has lost four in a row since a surprise win against Virginia. They are likely middle of the pack in the ACC this season.
Pitt might warrant bubble consideration if they can get a couple more big wins onto their resume. This would certainly qualify.
Louisville Cardinals
Louisville is a good team but they are going to be tested over the next few weeks, due to injury.
Quentin Snider is the starting PG but even more than that he is one of the few reliable scoring options for the Cardinals even if his efficiency is not great.

The Cards hung tough with FSU on the road over the weekend thanks to their defense but the fact that two starters did not even register a point speaks volumes.
Without Snider there is even more pressure on Donovan Mitchell and Deng Adel. They have struggled with their efficiency all season long but they do have the talent to step forward.
Senior Tony Hicks stepped off the bench to lead the team in scoring at FSU. He has been barely used this season but might now be their most important player.
Whether they are scoring or not you can count on the Cardinals to play defense and that might be enough in this game.
Pittsburgh Panthers
There is some talent on this Pitt team. They have two scorers averaging more than 20ppg. That is rare in college hoops.
Those two scorers are Jamel Artis and Michael Young. Artis has had some monster games like when he scored 43 points against Louisville, two weeks ago.
He is a rare player whose efficiency and usage has gone up, therefore the explosion.
Young is a more typical power forward type but this year he has added the three to his game, making more than he did in his first three seasons combined.

Those two are a big reason the Panthers can hang with most opponents.
However, they are not the stingy defensive team you might be remembering in your mind. The new coach is not playing that way.

Free Louisville Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Panthers NCAAB Prediction:
The Cards are still trying to figure out how to get by without Snider. So this one could be tough.
They are going to have to be really good defensively to stop the ACCs top scoring duo on the road.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick:
I think I might fade Louisville in the short term. They pushed against FSU but they seem to be due for some letdown with Snider out.
