Rick Pitino said over the weekend that his 5-0 Cardinals are being overlooked because of the ongoing scandal.
Louisville improved to 5-0 on Saturday night with a 77-57 win over Saint Louis in the Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational at Barclays Center.
Despite the unblemished record after the first month of the season, the Cardinals find themselves outside of the top-25 in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls. According to Jeff Greer of the Courier-Journal, head coach Rick Pitino believes that because of the ongoing investigation into allegations made against the program by former escort Katina Powell.
