Louisville had a down year by their standards last season. They could be a top 10 team or they could be in the NIT this year. They’re 3-0 so far in the ACC but all the games were close, and they also lost to DePaul which should be grounds for a postseason ban.
The big story for Pitt, obviously, is the return of Ithiel Horton. I’m looking forward to seeing more of how the Pitt offense was supposed to run with him out there. It should be a good game.
