Louisville @ Pittsburgh

Current Records: Louisville 3-20; Pittsburgh 16-7

What to Know

The Louisville Cardinals have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Panthers will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Petersen Events Center. Pitt should still be riding high after a victory, while U of L will be looking to get back in the win column.

U of L was close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 81-78 to the Florida State Seminoles. One thing holding U of L back was the mediocre play of guard Mike James, who did not have his best game: he played for 26 minutes but put up just seven points on 2-for-10 shooting.

Speaking of close games: Pitt escaped with a win last Wednesday against the North Carolina Tar Heels by the margin of a single free throw, 65-64. The Panthers' guard Nelly Cummings filled up the stat sheet, shooting 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and finishing with 21 points. Cummings' performance made up for a slower game against the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes two weeks ago.

The Cardinals have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 15.5-point spread they are up against. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

U of L is now 3-20 while Pitt sits at 16-7. The Panthers are 11-4 after wins this year, and U of L is 2-17 after losses.
