The Pittsburgh Panthers came into tonight a 9.5 favorite against a struggling Louisville Cardinals team. The Cardinals were 0-7 in ACC play and 2-16 overall and after a slow start, the Panthers were able to pounce on their opponent.
The Panthers got off to a bit of a slow start against the Cardinals, not hitting their first field goal until almost four minutes into the game thanks to a Greg Elliot jumper. The Panthers continued to struggle on the offensive side of the ball for much of the first half until about halfway through when the bench started to breathe new life into the game.
