We wanted three things to happen last night: North Carolina to lose to NC State. Notre Dame to fall at Wake Forest. And Louisville to knock off Pitt.
One outta three ain't bad.
Only Louisville came through for the Hoos, knocking Pitt out of any contention for the top of the conference standings and adding strength to the Cardinals' own standings—a boon for Virginia in tie-breaker scenarios.
Thursday's games aren't as numerous, but the desired outcome is both more important and more clear-cut than those in Wednesday's games.
